On the anniversary of the death of Margaret Thatcher, let us take a moment to reflect on what a cruel, heartless sack of shit she was.

Retweet if you believe Netanyahu is a war criminal.

#BBCBreakfast: "Israel.. said the ceasefire did not include Lebanon, where its targeting Iranian backed Hezbollah fighters" Not its not. Its targeting civilians, killing paramedics & journalists, blowing up whole villages, displacing hundreds of thousands of people.

One of the largest waves of Israeli strikes so far has just hit over 60 locations across Beirut and beyond. Deaths are mounting. Destruction is massive. Civilians are paying the price. Again. They are not a target. They must be protected.

@BhavaniVadde @metpoliceuk I’m sorry this happened to you. I hope this is treated with the sufficient seriousness it warrants. This mustn’t be tolerated.

Still in disbelief that this happened to me in #Balham yesterday. I was walking alone with my ear pods in & stopped as I thought he was asking for directions. Instead it was racist abuse. Filmed a few seconds of it. Have reported to @metpoliceuk & am giving a statement next week

Liverpool peeps. Please share 🙏

Israel is using the same deadly playbook it used in 2024 in Lebanon: killing dozens of health workers and devastating healthcare services with total impunity. Since 2 March 2026, Israeli forces have been responsible for killing dozens of health workers and devastating healthcare services. Hospitals, ambulances, and medical facilities are specifically protected under international humanitarian law. Throwing out accusations without evidence does not justify treating doctors and paramedics as targets. Deliberately striking medics performing humanitarian functions must be investigated as a war crime. Between 2 March and 3 April 2026, Israeli forces attacked healthcare workers in Lebanon 92 times, killing 53 and injuring 137 people. Protecting healthcare is not optional — it is a binding rule.

In Gaza, MSF continues to treat an alarming number of patients with severe facial burns in our clinic in Gaza City. Among the most vulnerable are children, who make up 85 per cent of our current cohort of 88 active patients in the Gaza City clinic.   To prevent permanent disfigurement and disability, patients require specialised pressure therapy masks. Since 2020, MSF has been the only provider of 3D-printed physiotherapy masks in Gaza.   These masks apply consistent pressure to healing burns, preventing hypertrophic scarring and contractures that can impair breathing, movement, and facial function.   But since the Israeli authorities revoked the registration of MSF to work in Palestine, along with 37 other NGOs, on 3 December, 2025, we've been unable to get new supplies into Gaza. We are running out of filament, the essential material needed to create each customised mask.   At the same time, only two functioning 3D scanners remain in the entire Strip. Spare parts for printers are also blocked. We urge all relevant authorities to take immediate action to allow the delivery of essential medical supplies, equipment and spare parts into Gaza.

Absolute horror on Al Jazeera. Israeli forces just deliberately shot and killed a World Health Organization employee in Gaza. They opened fire on a UN vehicle, injuring multiple staff members. Israel is intentionally targeting the United Nations with zero accountability.

Dont believe Palestinians if you prefer. Dont believe the media and dont believe human rights groups if you prefer. But perhaps you'll believe a British NHS surgeon testifying, emotionally, to Israels atrocities.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

A Facebook post falsely claims Katie Hopkins confronted Muslim MPs during a speech in the House of Commons. There’s no record of this in Hansard and images supposedly showing the scene are AI-generated. fullfact.org/politics/katie…

Don't let anyone convince you that taking our water into public ownership is radical. Guess what's really radical? Privatisation of water. It is time we end this global embarrassment and nationalise our water. vist.ly/4xecf

My Easter reading: "..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you told me to fuck off back where I came from, I was sick and you said I should get private health insurance..." #HappyEaster

Our teams in Gaza, Palestine, had to use nonsterile gauze during the full blockade from August–September 2025.  Now, our colleagues warn they're close to that point again, as Israeli entry restrictions on medical supplies place immense strain on our teams. msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…

This is a HUGE victory for people power. After years of pressure, New York City Health + Hospital Corporation will not renew its contract with Palantir. When communities organise, even the most powerful corporations can be held to account. Activists in NYC just forced their health system to dump Palantir over human rights concerns. Now, it's our turn in the UK. Palantir’s contract with NHS England is up for renewal in February 2027. This shows we can win. But we need YOU. Join the campaign: amn.st/6018B6dPQq

All my work on Donald J Trump’s illegal war gets throttled on X. If you feel like annoying Elon Musk and the President of the US, please do share it. Thank you 🙏🏽

🚨Your Sunday watch has dropped! Would Donald Trump invade Iran’s oil-critical Kharg Island? The US president has made plenty of threats in an attempt to secure the Strait of Hormuz but what are the odds and potential fallout? I ask the experts: FULL VIDEO: youtu.be/HFU1oJrE1Lw?si… @MiddleEastEye

We haven't been able to bring any new equipment into Gaza since the beginning of this year, as Israeli authorities block aid from entering. We're using equipment we have used for a long time, meaning it can malfunction and severely impact our patients' recovery. msf.org/gaza-israeli-e…
