The leaked white paper for Health and Care in England reveals more privatisation at scale, market deregulation and huge scope for corruption, loss of universality and social solidarity blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/02/11… @JonAshworth @Dr_PhilippaW @JeaneF1MSP @MattHancock

The government is handing lucrative contracts to Palantir, a notorious US corporation providing AI and surveillance technology used as an essential part of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. TAKE ACTION: Write to Starmer to demand all contracts with Palantir are cancelled: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/cancelpalantir…

The right to a trial by jury is fundamental. There are a range of improvements put forward by legal professionals working in our courts to improve efficiency of our system without the need to restrict access to jury trial. That’s why I’ll vote against threat to jury trial today.

Our co-chair @DrTonyOSullivan said in the Sunday Express: "When the NHS has been funded to meet the needs of the population, access to private healthcare has been static. This is a sign of how govts have failed to provide essential healthcare for all."

I'm an NHS doctor. Palestinian. Arrested FOUR times for posts on Gaza and jewish supremacy. Met Police are refusing to lift my house arrest after 3 months. Peter Mandelson shared government secrets with paedophile Epstein. Bail dropped in 10 days. They proved my point for me.

Meticulously researched and utterly harrowing descriptions of over 500 villages ethnically cleansed and destroyed by Jewish paramilitaries and the IDF in 1948.

Human Rights Watch Says Israel Dropped White Phosphorus in Southern Lebanon Through geolocating and verifying seven images, @hrw said Israel fired white phosphorus using artillery at residential areas in the southern Lebanese village of Yohmor. Advocates say it is illegal to use white phosphorus under international law when the substance is fired into populated areas archive.ph/emibB

There must be a “complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS," says the British Medical Association. novaramedia.com/2026/02/19/wha…

Israel executed Amal Hamad Al-Shamali in Gaza today. Amal was a mother and a journalist, documenting genocide. She was a voice for her people. Not a combatant. Keep in mind: Israel is still dropping bombs on Gaza. Don’t stop talking about Palestine EVER.

Why we are calling on the whole of the Palestine and anti-war movements to march tomorrow against the attack on Iran.

UN experts concerned by #Israel altering Jerusalem’s demographic composition, religious character & legal status. These acts constitute the ethnic cleansing of #Palestine, by whatever means, whatever the cost and whatever crimes it takes. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Around 1/4 of people in Lebanon are currently under Israeli evacuation orders. Jeremy Ristord, our head of mission, describes how 400,000 people, in an area the size of Manhattan, had one hour to flee. The resulting chaos means people are sleeping in cars, and are in need of water and essentials.

Israel is waging war after war against the people of an entire region. The US is its partner in crime. I implore Member States who still have some decency to stop this. Together we can!

🚨 UN warns of catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza as Israel shuts all border crossings to launch its US-backed war on Iran. Fuel, medicine & food stocks are depleting fast. Hospitals at risk. Thousands needing urgent care are trapped. REOPEN THE CROSSINGS.

Israel just demanded that 500,000 Lebanese people evacuate Beirut so that they can carpet bomb it. And it's not even a Top 10 story anywhere. Forced migration is a war crime. But in 2026 international law is dead and war crimes no longer matter.

This morning, activists blockaded Rafael, an Israeli-state owned weapons factory in Newcastle, for the second time in 12 hours. Via: youth_equality_coalition

Israel is forcing 300,000–500,000 Lebanese civilians to flee their homes in Beirut. This is unprecedented. This isn’t just war. This is ethnic cleansing in real time. Israel wants to empty entire regions in Lebanon.

Breaking: TODAY the British Medical Association’s UK Consultant Conference overwhelmingly passed an emergency motion criticising the GMC’s action against @GhassanAbuSitt1 for his pro-Palestinian stance, calling on the GMC to be independent of political influence.

Yanar Mohammed, a leading Iraqi feminist and co‑founder of the Organisation of Women’s Freedom in Iraq, was assassinated outside her home in Baghdad on March 2, 2026. For more than two decades, Yanar was one of Iraq’s most courageous advocates for women’s rights.

VIDEO | "I just left a classified briefing on Iran and here's what I can say: It is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried." After attending a classified briefing with the Trump administration on the US-Israeli war on Iran, US Senator Elizabeth Warren said the situation is “far worse than you thought,” adding that the public is right to be concerned. She asserted that the administration has “no plan in Iran,” describing the war as illegal and based on falsehoods, and arguing that it was launched without any imminent threat to the US. Warren also said that Donald Trump has yet to provide a clear justification for the war and appears to lack a concrete strategy for bringing it to an end.
