UK #LGBTQ+ folx, I am writing proposal for a session at next year's annual GP conference. I want to launch our LGBTQ+ Special Interest Group at the same time. What should we include in the session (could be interactive)? eg how to make general practices LGBTQ friendly? Go!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

PS The aim is improving the care and experiences of LGBTQ+ patients AND colleagues in general practice.

I grew up and attended a synagogue in north Manchester. So many of us are feeling the horrific scenes today that all come at a time of rising Antisemitism. @TheGreenParty stands with the Jewish community and everyone affected. And thanks the emergency responders for their work.

CAF workers stage a strike denouncing CAF’s complicity in Israel’s regime of settler colonialism and illegal occupation against Palestinians. The BDS movement echoes the call from Palestinian trade unions for unions and solidarity movements worldwide to: #DisruptComplicity, Strike, Mobilize! Together let’s end this!

I'm pleased to confirm that this dangerous extremist has been apprehended and no longer poses a threat to society.

Instead of vital police resources being used to keep communities safe, we have the absurd situation where they're being wasted on arresting peaceful protesters: people simply holding signs and exercising their democratic rights to oppose genocide. This follows the wholly disproportionate and deeply troubling decision to designate Palestine Action - a group that posed no risk to the public - as terrorists. I voted against that decision in Parliament and again call on the Government to immediately overturn it.
