We stand with healthcare workers in Gaza who are doing lifesaving work in most unimaginably challenging and horrific circumstances. Tedros and his team have my full support.
My own & other clinicians' concerns re proposed Assisted Dying bill are on record: it should not command public confidence, wherever you stand on AD. It faces the risk of falling into disrepute. 55 clauses long, but 38 powers, 5 of which are Henry VIII (amend later)& 9 new…
My statement on today's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill vote.
Nadia's cousin Sally, and her four children are being starved by Israel. Millions in Gaza are being deliberately starved while Israel withholds food mere kilometres away. Words are not enough. Governments must act and force Israel to open the borders and allow aid to flow in.

JUST IN: President Obama’s office responds to Trump and Gabbard’s “outrageous” and “bizarre” allegations: “Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a…
Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it. The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.
⚡🇧🇪🇪🇬 The Belgian King calls on Egypt to immediately open the Rafah crossing to provide humanitarian aid to the besieged people in Gaza and alleviate their suffering.
Zero scandals or controversies. Just strong, steady leadership and love. 💙
Cardinal Pizzaballa should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

🚨NEW: Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi has signed the House petition to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files. RETWEET if you stand with @SpeakerPelosi against the GOP!
Everything Obama claimed about Russian interference was confirmed by a Senate Investigation. Who led that investigation? Trump’s CURRENT Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
Trump declares that Obama is guilty of treason: Barack Hussain Obama, have you heard of him? He is guilty. It’s not a question. This was treason.
