“Body after body, tiny little bodies are being carried to their graves” CNN documented the funeral of four young Lebanese children buried together by their mother, the oldest is 13 and the youngest is only 6 years old, who were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing together in their family home. The strike wiped out almost the entire family. Since March 2, at least 110 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon

A friend in Cuba just notified me that every single patient in that hospital that was on ventilators died tonight. I don’t have words.

She gets it, the advice does not make sense

Because she is infinitely cool, the woman who invented the Men B vaccine that is saving lives is called Professor Pizza. Is that not the coolest name? She is, of course, Italian. She is still a working scientist and tutor at Imperial and often the scientists doing the research don't get the credit they deserve. Thank you Prof Pizza

The systematic undermining of general practice has consequences that you can't even imagine. When #1 was 2 weeks old, he developed a fever, was grey and floppy with a bulging fontanelle. I called the GP OOH and he was seen within half an hour of my call. IM benzylpenicillin and a week in hospital. That OOH GP saved his life, no question. He has just been offered a place to do an MSc in mathematical and theoretical physics at Oxford - unbelievably competitive. Do I think today's 111 would have achieved the same? Not a chance.

6300 Neighbourhood Health Centres already in walking distance of 90% of the population Cost to bring hospital to community just 1.5% of NHS budget £50 per patient per year Yet @wesstreeting doesn’t want to do it instead it’s 43 centres rather than investing in GP practices

Our founder @jeremycorbyn has arrived in Havana as part of the Nuestra América aid convoy, breaking Trump’s illegal siege and delivering vital aid to the Cuban people, and was greeted by President @DiazCanelB. Solidarity knows no borders. Viva Cuba! 🇨🇺

Tony Benn's "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?" Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

Israel is now starving ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Gaza while spraying ONE MILLION PEOPLE in Lebanon with banned phosphorus and relentlessly bombing MILLIONS of PEOPLE in Iran violating international law with absolutely no consequences This's what real threat to world peace looks like

Yesterday's Covid‑19 Inquiry report found that extraordinary efforts by healthcare staff prevented the NHS from collapsing during the pandemic. Doctors and their colleagues carried this burden at immense personal cost. They worked in unsafe conditions, faced trauma and moral injury, as well as burnout that many are still living with today. The inquiry makes clear how close the system came to failure, and how reliant it was on staff going far beyond what should ever be expected. Read our full response 👉 bma.org.uk/news-and-opini…

That’s nonsense because many of the people who get what he calls welfare do in fact Work. And much of this total is paid to pensioners in return for their national insurance and they would certainly not consider it welfare. But it’s fake statistics like these that can influence peoples beliefs.

Some of the medical aid I’ve brought directly with me to Cuba, as Trump tries to strangle the Cuban people. Today we’ll be receiving tonnes more as the Nuestra America Aid Convoy arrives. Aid is arriving all the time from Britain thanks to solidarity. Donate to Viva Cuba below.

At first, I thought each square represented one child killed in Gaza. But each square actually represents TEN children.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🍿 11 AM : Trump 🇺🇸 said "We want unconditional surrender from Iran" 01 PM : Trump said, "We are having a hard time, we need to talk to 🇮🇷 Iran" 😂 PEAK CLOWNERY

The Zionists ‘may need a civilian presence’ in Southern Lebanon. Invasion, occupation, settler colonialism. ‘Greater Israel’ plan being openly acknowledged now.

This is such a dangerous escalation by Starmer, taking us further into an illegal & reckless war and demonstrating exactly the risk of mission creep that many have warned about, making us all less safe

Pete Hegseth: The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people. Self awareness of a potato

Since Comic Relief started in 1985, child poverty has increased from 20% to 30%. We don't need charity, we need system change.

Your solution: Force GPs to deal with unlimited numbers of patients every day. Reduce waiting lists by allowing hospitals to reject GP referrals. Share confidential GP records with private companies. I’ve never known a health secretary show such hostility to General Practice.
