On just one night this week, Russia sent nearly 700 drones & dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the 5th year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense & more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help save lives.

The Lancet: "The politicisation of women's bodies and choices is part of a wider attempt to roll back human rights and freedoms of women and marginalised groups. ...It is a fundamental right of a woman to decide whether and when she has children, and is central to gender justice."
An anti-abortion group active in Scotland has withheld details about the amount of US funding it receives
Meanwhile, one of Stanford’s own is helping bring about this horror show.
“By July, the rabies team will be down to just one person with the clinical expertise to advise state and local officials, and the pox virus team will have none.”
7/ There is an element of prejudice in a lot of this, both relating the grade itself, but also its demographics.
The majority of SAS and locally-employes doctors are international medical graduates, doctors from ethnic minority backgrounds, and / or women.
We are a marginalised cohort.
6/ Like other doctors, our pay has not kept pace with inflation, hence the ballot.
We are also frequently overlooked and undermined in the workplace. Respect, support for professional development, progression, even the right contract for the work done, are each often seen as optional.
5/ Issues affecting SAS doctors are many, and our issues in the workplace are not just around pay.
Recognition of our seniority and autonomy is hard to come by. The better paid Specialist contract is underused, even where doctors are objectively working as Specialists.
The US bombed a primary school in Iran, killing 168 girls.
Why is nobody talking about this anymore?
These abominable war crimes should not be forgotten — and nor should the lives, hopes and dreams of human beings who were slaughtered with impunity.
For all their talk of “protecting women and girls”, the actions from Reform UK seem to suggest that this is only under very limited circumstances.

Portrait picture of Lord Offord with text infront of his eyes reading "Share this post if you think vile homophobic 'jokes' have no place in Scottish politics."
As an organisation representing much of Scotland's LGBTQIA+ community, we cannot stay silent on the frankly disgusting language attributed to Lord Offord, leader of Scottish Reform.
Keep this language out of our culture. Keep it out of our politics.

Who's got a piece of Wes Streeting?
Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS.
He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government.
And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir.

I’m sure this be very useful for Scotland at the UN when the English Gvt tells them Scotland isn’t a colony because it has self governance.
Sudanese Doctors Network says 'horrific crime represents a continuation of the violations committed by the RSF.'
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States, thereby justifying the need to “federalize” elections. We must anticipate it, with sadness and resolution, and not be surprised, if it happens.

Tony Blair has criticised the British government for not joining in the war in the Middle East, in the surest sign yet Keir Starmer might be doing the right thing
❗️❗️A Russian-made navigation system, first seen on drones intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses in December, was found in a drone that recently attacked a British air base in Cyprus, — The Times.
A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

And if anyone is looking for a slightly lighter read, the below is from the time I came across one of the most illustrative and insane internet interactions on, of all places, the Waitrose Cellars comments section.
I could only wish to reach this level of pettiness in my life.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.
