"Emergency workers and paramedics are being killed at an astonishing rate in Lebanon"

Alex Crawford talks to emergency workers in Lebanon. One of them talks about hearing children buried under the rubble screaming - "unfortunately we couldn't reach them"

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

£1.6bn profit in 2 yrs. Enough to pay for 9,178 doctors or 19,428 nurses

Health service “taken for a ride”.

Say NO to privatisation. Must expand NHS capacity

In 2016 Exercise Cygnus concluded that the NHS cannot cope with a hypothetical H2N2 influenza pandemic. Tory govt did nothing.

232,000 died from Covid. NHS yet to recover. 7.29m unfilled hospital appointments.

Evidence is growing that Israel and the US launched their illegal war on Iran despite a deal being all but on the table. Of course, most of us already knew that this was likely the case. What's remarkable is the number and type of whistleblower now saying it out loud... 🧵

United Kingdom Hospitals Urged To Scrap Palantir - PopularResistance.Org A coalition of leading human rights, health groups and trade unions has urged NHS England to cancel its contract with Palantir based on serious risks to the NHS. Medact has sent its new briefing document, Concerns Regarding Palantir Technologies in NHS Data Systems, to all NHS trust and Integrated Care Board CEOs. It urges them to exercise their local autonomy and not comply with NHS England’s instruction to adopt Palantir’s Federated Data Platform. Assessing the risks posed by the company’s technology to patients and the NHS, the briefing raises alarm over data protection, governance, procurement practices, state surveillance and the wider human rights implications of embedding Palantir’s systems across the health service.
