This is the last photo from ICU in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have been forced to evacuate hospital, there will be no doctor or nurse, and patients will be left to inevitably. Please any one can see this post do any thing to stop this genocide I will not leave the hospital

Anyone else woken up this morning to listen anxiously to the news and feeling relieved, prouder of who we are, and just a bit more disdainful of the Tommy Robinsons and Elon Musks of this world? Well done decency, well done the police

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

For my birthday my amazing daughter @rioclarky crocheted GENERAL ELECTION STRIPES into a 4 foot long scarf for me! Coloured constituencies, all in chronological order of the count results. What a night of work she had and what a red result for the country. Very happy indeed !

I condemn this brutal hate attack on Steven Kabuye & demand justice for Kabuye. We are witnessing evictions, job terminations, death threats, assaults & other crimes all driven by hate since Uganda’s anti homosexuality law was passed. Sad! Stop the hate! Embrace & love. ☮️

‘Multiculturalism has failed’ says Suella Braverman who is from Kenyan and Mauritian background and married to a Jew, serving as Home Secretary in a govt led by someone whose family came from India. Wonder what multicultural success looks like…..

Just checking, so being gay in one of the 12 countries where consensual same-sex sexual activity is punishable by death, or the 66 where it is a criminal offence, is not sufficient grounds to seek asylum in the United Kingdom? What have we come to? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Yvette Cooper
Yvette Cooper@YvetteCooperMP·
Suella Braverman has so lost grip of Tory asylum chaos, she is targeting & scapegoating LGBT people. Deeply divisive, damaging political game playing - unworthy of her office. Instead of blaming people persecuted in places like Uganda for who they love, she shd sort chaos at home

Well, I wasn’t expecting a night in Eastbourne A&E after waking up with acute deep pain in my side. Turns out to be a suspected kidney stone. NHS staff have been brilliant. Fortunately it was very quiet at 5am! Got some awesome pain killers and booked in for a CT scan now.

Every human being has a right to life. Constitution guarantees every Ugandan the right to health care. Yet,Uganda’s Anti Homosexuality law is driving away some citizens from life-saving services. Lead with love NOT hate.
Reuters@Reuters

The HIV/AIDS treatment center in Kampala is almost empty, days after Uganda enacted one of the most draconian anti-gay laws on Earth. The usual daily influx of around 50 patients has all but dried up, say staff. Antiretroviral drugs pile up unused reut.rs/3oR8peC 1/7
