We attended the Prostate Cancer All-Party Parlimentary Group today along with @ProstateUK @PCR_News. A fantastic opportunity to discuss the development and implementation of a national early detection programme for prostate cancer in high-risk populations. Statement below👀👇
Politics at its most cynical. Cabinet ministers spinning their own handwringing as courage to avoid the rap… This isn’t moral conviction, it’s performative angst from a cabinet putting their jobs first.
EXCL: Keir Starmer under pressure from cabinet ministers to immediately recognise Palestinian statehood, as global outcry grows over Israel’s killing of starving civilians in Gaza. “We say that recognising Palestinian statehood is a really important symbol that you can only do…

Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague

The Royal College of GPs holds firm following the Leng review. They re-affirm that the college: **OPPOSED a role for PAs in General Practice** 👏👏 We need ALL Royal Colleges to make a stand for the medical profession to protect public safety.
The Leng Review of the PA and AA roles lays bare catastrophic failures in NHS leadership that have put patients at serious risk of harm. But unfortunately its recommendations do not adequately protect patients. 🔗 Full response: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
Nearly 60 Labour MPs have called on David Lammy and the Foreign Office to immediately recognise Palestine as a state. 🔗 Read more trib.al/31wZgc0
“I truly hope that people understand what’s happening.” “I’m a UN pro bono official — I’m not even paid. Yet suddenly I’m a threat to the global economy. Why? Because I asked big tech to comply with international law and stop profiteering from genocide.” — Francesca Albanese
I was honoured to be invited to today’s memorial service in Srebrenica, 30 years since 8,372 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered while the world looked away. In their memory, we speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and governments — including our own — enabling it.
The BBC solemnly asks what lessons we can learn from Srebrenica, while ignoring the exact same playbook unfolding in Palestine. Dehumanisation. Denial. Silence. You don’t get to ask reflective questions about genocide while platforming it in real time. This isn’t ignorance,…
Sick of being called ‘greedy’, Brown line is consultants, way below the zero line, the blue line is average workers, back above zero. Average pay has climbed at about equal rates over last 3 years but consultant pay still nearly 20% down graph (CPI). There’s full tax restoration,…
The BMA Resident Doctors Committee still refuses to meet me. After a 28.9% pay rise, they say another 29% is “non-negotiable.” This is not the way a reasonable trade union behaves.
BREAKING: At least 798 people in Gaza have been killed while receiving aid, the UN human rights office has said. 🔗 Read more trib.al/PpI4HWw
Yes we know this is what patients want ✅. So why does our govt persist with GP replacement schemes?! ❌.
Kids in Gaza hosting a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life. “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.” Over 4200 kids, like these, have been killed.
One of the most powerful speeches #BAUS25 @IPearce82 acceptance of the @IBUSurology PRISM award for an Ally. In this age- allies are key to the balance. #BAUS blessed by a truly humane President—Empathy/Compassion/Equality/Equity/Kindness/Just-ice/
This is devastating. Over a hundred BBC staff have signed a letter declaring they've been forced to do PR for Israel. Just the latest chapter in the biggest scandal of Western journalism of our time owenjones.news/p/bbc-staff-we…
Thank you for watching our @Basement_Films film we thank our Palestinian colleagues for risking their lives to make it, thank you to @Channel4 & @zeteo_news for running it. We apologise to the Doctors & medics we interviewed & those they lost for the disgraceful delay; we wanted…
