“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

GPs aren’t failing to prescribe - GPs aren’t allowed to prescribe because there are rules set by NHS England Department of Health and Social Care & NICE which are very restrictive Now redo that headline ITV News Rebecca Barry this is entirely unfair on GPs

NHS England has not changed physician associate (PA) role descriptions in line with Leng review recommendations & its own advice to GPs Failed leadership, failed policies, failing NHS England Pulse pulsetoday.co.uk/news/workforce… GP Online gponline.com/its-mess-nhs-f…

Imagine the state of mind of these settlers. They are saying through their actions: 'Let's starve Palestinians, because we want their land.' What's a word to describe that?

Been observing which organisations have found time to put a post on any social media -welcoming the new cohort of doctors. Kudos where due to GMC for a really good one on LinkedIn Nothing from NHS England Workforce, Training and Education NHS England but not unexpected Particularly disappointing to see my

Reports coming through of 'Locally Employed Doctor' roles being ceased- and IMGs now without visas- which am sure will delight people of the 'go home' brigade. Jobs then re-advertised for local grads. Lives chucked out by rank poor workforce planning Exactly as forecast. I

What a horrible state of affairs that people want to leave, in their droves… … resident doctors bailing out, and applications to become a nurse down by a third. The NHS is in free-fall… myemail.constantcontact.com/Casualties.htm…

As the Gaza famine death toll rises, UK imports of Israeli fruit and veg have soared - £51.3m in just three months, up from £29.1m. While Palestinians starve, Israel’s agricultural exports to Britain are booming. Full story by ‘Slicker’ in the latest issue.

“Illegal migrant invasion spotted at Alton Towers” fumes Rupert Lowe.

The Australian IMG job market is getting tougher. Not surprising when 5431 IMGs (2000 UKG) are registering to work there. With 15,000 eligible to sit PLAB pt2, LEDs being fired and re-hired and the Spectator saying Dr unemployment is good when will you act GMC NHS England

1/2 Contrary to popular belief, we don’t have a desperate shortage of GPs. But we do have a DESPERATE SHORTAGE OF GP JOBS! From newly qualified to older, experienced GPs like myself, there’s mass under & unemployment as a result of deliberate govt policy. Ask Wes Streeting….

Israel just assassinated the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza: fearless journalists and cameramen reporting the truth amid genocide. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Where are the Western journalists? Will they condemn this, or choose silence and complicity?

I’ve reported 18 wars over 35 years. I’ve been shot at, kidnapped, threatened, nearly raped. I’ve lost friends from Sarajevo to Syria. I thought I’d seen the worst of humanity. I was wrong. Nothing compares to Gaza — or the complicity letting it happen. #GazaGenocide #WarCrimes

How are my predictions doing then from Dec 24 The system is predictable. Time for Royal College of Physicians to step up and make the interim guidance permanent Reason given for “interim” was ‘because The Leng review is due’ Well it’s here now. Step up. Do your job. Patient safety needs

As a tribute to the six Al Jazeera journalists killed in Gaza, here's the poem I wrote a few months ago:
