Tyranny under bombs: why condemnation of the Iran war must include condemnation of the Islamic Republic Regime
Read the latest blog in BMJ leader by @RamminaY
"The moral inconsistency of failing to name both the war and the regime as violent provides a whitewash for the regime’s ongoing aggression; giving the impression that one doesn’t care about who is being killed and only cares about who is doing the killing."

"So will it be the same act but with a different label?"
Victoria Derbyshire humiliates Zia Yusuf on Reform UK's plan to scrap the Equalities Act, because, as she reads each of the things from the Equalities act he confirms they'll still be protected 🤷♂️

BREAKING 🚨 | Reform announce plans to legalise discrimination.
Plans include scrapping the Equality Act, which would legalise discrimination against a worker if they were a woman, disabled, black, pregnant or gay.
From ripping up equality protections, to backing fire-and-rehire, to opposing a ban on zero-hours contracts, Reform UK have made it clear whose side they’re on – and it’s not working people.

"Silence is not neutrality, it is complicity. What we choose to amplify contributes to whether these crimes against humanity, crimes against fellow clinicians and crimes against the sanctity of medical care are named, excused or ignored."

“An Open Letter from UK Medical Professionals on the Criminalisation of Medical Care in Iran”
If you are a doctor, nurse, or healthcare professional in the UK, please stand with your colleagues. We call for protection of Iranian medics facing arrest or threats simply for treating the injured. Medical care is a duty, not a crime.
Please sign the letter below and see the link for the full text.

My latest piece @JME_BMJ explaining how the @gmcuk is not fit for purpose as an ethical compass for the profession given its treatment of climate protestors.

Our letter calling for urgent reform of medical regulatory proceedings in the Guardian today.
It cannot be right that doctors who peacefully protest about the climate catastrophe face harsher sanctions than doctors found to be sexual predators

Why do climate protestors get disciplined but sexual predators don’t?
The @gmcuk appears to be fine with sexual assault, but very uncomfortable with peaceful protest.
