The story of a GP imprisoned for climate activism bmj.com/content/388/bm…

As working GP Patrick Hart resides in prison for sounding the alarm on the climate emergency, we gather to protest the imprisonment of peaceful protestors Govt should focus on arresting the real criminals who profit from harming the planet not those who try to protect it.

@Abi_Rimmer @EM_HealthPsych @DrSdeG If you work in primary care in Brighton & Hove we are running some for free. Fully funded. In Sharpham. Feb/march/april.

@EM_HealthPsych @DrSdeG We've had a BMJ piece on this that might be of interest bmj.com/content/383/bm…

One of my PDP items this year is to go on a retreat for some self-care. I can't do a yoga one or a walking one cos...long covid....anyone got any good ideas/places?

NHS patients do not want a US company facilitating war crimes to manage our health data. Yet the rollout of Palantir's Federated Data Platform is now being *mandated* by the govt & NHS England! Write to your local NHS Trust & urge them to oppose this: actionnetwork.org/letters/nhs-tr…

🚨Palestinians in northern Gaza face an existential threat. @DavidLammy, there’s no excuse for delaying action to protect civilians from extermination. Stop the forcible expulsion of Palestinians and end ALL arms transfers to Israel. Act now: ctt.ec/qDdl8+

Remember the outrage at @JustStop_Oil throwing soup over a protective covering of a painting in a desperate attempt to draw attention to climate breakdown? This is The National Library of Spain, flooded again. All the world’s art, galleries, artefacts, museums, treasures etc are at risk from the overheating of the planet - just like all of the people, animals, all life is. ‘The collapse of civilisation is on the horizon’ Sir David Attenborough

"For Health Sake Just Stop Oil" Health workers unfurl a banner in front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers to highlight the obscenity of imprisoning @JustStop_Oil protestors Anna Holland & Phoebe Plummer for trying to protect what the artist held most dear 🧵1/n

It has now been a year of Israel’s sustained military assault on Gaza and throughout the OPT, now expanding into Lebanon with only more death and destruction. The health impacts are catastrophic, the loss of life incomprehensible. Read our blog in full: medact.org/2024/blogs/one…

Since it is #GreenLibrariesWeek, here is a repost of nature retreats for doctors. bmj.com/content/383/bm…

Two-year prison sentences for throwing condensed soup at a plate of glass. No punishment whatsoever for dodging a £3.7m tax bill, selling dud PPE to the NHS, dumping billions of litres of sewage in rivers or knowingly fitting flammable cladding to Grenfell Tower.

I just asked my MP to better protect British Family Farms and ask supermarkets to STOP Farmwashing #FarmersAgainstFarmwashing @Riverford @UKSustain sustainweb.org/news/sept24-fa…

Same lengthy sentences for this public nuisance as the climate protestors got, yes? twitter.com/_yon_m0n/statu…

"Climate crisis to blame for delay to triathlon, say Paris Olympic organisers" This being so, should the Olympics let itself be used as a billboard to promote major climate polluters such as sponsors Toyota & Air France? @cooldownnetwork theguardian.com/sport/article/…

Palantir is supporting the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) with their assault in Gaza. And Trusts are being mandated to use it.

GPs vote YES for collective action
