"But no response can undo the human cost of deliberate political choices. In the shadow of #InternationalMigrantsDay, we condemn Europe’s inhumane border policies behind yet another tragedy. This is a moral failure in plain sight."

Sending solidarity to resident doctors on strike today ✊

Without job security for doctors, decent pay, and better conditions, we won't have an NHS in a few years.

Doctors deserve better, and so does the British public 🧡

#DoctorsStrike #StandWithDoctors
Today 10,000s of doctors will go out on strike, as they're willing to stand up for their profession against a totally avoidable jobs and pay crisis.

Resident doctors need jobs, and when they find those jobs, they need to be paid fairly for it.

BREAKING: BMA staff have escalated their pay dispute following a disappointing offer from management.

It's time for the BMA to offer our members a decent pay rise to reflect inflation and address years of pay erosion.

I popped into the @wellcomecollection.bsky.social today and was moved to see this portrait of Henrietta Lacks and a vial of her cells.

As we move towards eliminating cervical cancer - thanks to the HPV vaccine developed using Henrietta’s cells - it’s so important to know and honour her story.

So we've gone from "he never said anything Nazi" to "well he might have said something Nazi but not in a hurtful way" to "well okay he probably did say something Nazi in a hurtful way, but didn't we all?"

Totally forgot that when you sign up for Qobuz they give you a free Soundiiz link, so you can transfer over all your music from Spotify.

I'd been straddling both platforms the last couple of months because I couldn't quite commit to the shift, but this might just do it.

The Crown Estate owns seabeds around Britain and is charging offshore wind developers huge fees to build turbines.

In the process, they're keeping our energy bills high. It’s medieval.

I’ve signed a @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social petition to stop the King from profiting at our expense 👇

Energy bills are soaring, and the King is getting rich at our expense. Sign the petition to demand the Crown Estate lower fees on seabeds and make wind farms more affordable to build.

This EP is well worth a listen if you like angry, left-wing, melodic death/groove/thrash metal.
