The pay review body’s 3.5% pay ‘uplift’ is hugely disappointing for SAS and Consultants whose value and pay have been eroded for years. Senior doctors are standing together to push this Government to commit to improvements. On the 11 May we will open ballots for Industrial Action in England for both SAS and Consultants. Update your details on our website to make sure you get your ballot paper authgateway.bma.org.uk/Account/Login

The Prime Minister's threats of removing training places are bad for doctors and bad patients. These threats are not a credible way to end this dispute. We're in talks with government today to reach a deal that doctors can support, and that's good for patients, to avoid strikes.

El Gobierno de España condena la pena de muerte contra palestinos que acaba de aprobar el parlamento de Israel. Se trata de una medida asimétrica que no se aplicaría a los israelíes que cometieran los mismos delitos. Mismo crimen, distinta pena. Eso no es justicia. Es un paso más hacia el apartheid. El mundo no puede callar.

The Lab govt is threatening NHS workers who want it to restore pay held down by Conservatives. It would rather take from the disabled than impose a wealth tax. No wonder more than four in five think it is managing economic problems badly. huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-sta…

Israel's new death penalty law "dismantles fundamental safeguards to prevent the arbitrary deprivation of life and protect the right to a fair trial, and further empowers Israel’s system of apartheid." @amnesty amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

"For years, we have seen an alarming pattern of apparent extrajudicial executions and other unlawful killings of Palestinians. "This new law which allows for state-sanctioned executions is a culmination of such policies." @amnesty amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

“The Bill makes matters worse by allowing death sentences to be imposed by a simple majority vote of military judges, and banning any pardon or commutation, which expressly violates the right to life.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

“Since Israeli military trials of civilians typically do not meet fair trial standards under international human rights law and humanitarian law, any resulting death sentence would further violate the right to life.” ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Not good enough. Tell us Nick when the BBC has given serious analysis to the evidence for genocide? Tell us why it livestreamed Israel's defence against the charge at the ICJ but not the presentation of South Africa's case? Why dont you routinely tell pro Israel interviewees.....
Nick Robinson@bbcnickrobinson

Simple answer Zack. Our job is to report. We interview you & those you quote who use the word genocide. We do the same for those who disagree. We also report that no international court has yet made a judgment. Nor has the UN. That’s not me or the BBC taking sides or downplaying what’s happened in Gaza. It’s doing our job.

Last night I was in a total blackout in Cuba's capital Havana - a result of the cruel & illegal US blockade and Trump's attempt to tighten this by stopping any fuel getting in. Trump is trying to strangle millions of people into submission. We must take a stand against this.

Crushing party democracy has been a disaster for Labour. Silencing members and trade unionists, who are far more in tune with the public than Peter Mandelson’s fan club, has led to mistake after mistake. Join me at the rally on Monday: eventbrite.com/e/restore-labo…
