🌍 Food & climate are deeply connected: it drives 1/3 of global GHG emissions & is hit hard by climate shocks; heatwaves, floods, & droughts disrupt crops & drive food inflation. Read our latest @bmj.com article on the urgent need for action: www.bmj.com/content/387/... #ClimateChange #FoodSecurity

Remember the outrage when Israel first targeted hospitals in Gaza? Now, the last hospital in northern Gaza is destroyed, babies are freezing to death & the WHO Director-General narrowly survived an attack in Yemen. This genocide is fuelled by UK arms sales & Western support.

It took less than a year for Israel to normalize waging war on hospitals, their staff, and their patients. Our government supplies the weapons,and accuses anyone who dare object of antisemitism. “The occupation army is burning all the operating departments in the hospital while we are still there”

The last photo of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, detained after refusing to abandon his colleagues and patients. In just one image, we see both the power of Palestinian humanity and the moral weakness of all those complicit in genocide. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Gaza’s death toll exceeds 186,000 (The Lancet), Israel’s PM faces an ICC arrest warrant & Israel is on trial for genocide at the ICJ. Yet the UK government continues selling arms. Proud to join Palestine Solidarity Campaign & StW in Coventry & demand a full arms embargo & sanctions on Israel.

💯 The GMC has a legal & ethical responsibility to protect patient health. But instead of demonstrating ethical leadership by advocating for climate action in the name of public health, they suspend the doctors who do.

Last night only THREE peers in the House of Lords called for public ownership of England's water industry. That was me, Jenny Jones & Natalie Bennett (Green Party) out of a membership of 827. Public ownership officially opposed by Labour, Tories and LibDems. Most people want to end the scandal.
