Achieving a ceasefire necessarily involves negotiation with your enemies, not your friends. Ending a war usually does too. Either the Israeli government does not understand that - or they will be satisfied only with a total surrender.

Ramandeep Kaur @mumof3amigos.bsky.social · 29d

The BBC still spinning out the line, “but Israel says” as it continues to attempt to defend the actions of a rogue state who is showing no interest in stopping the war in Gaza.

As their guest just clearly laid out, Hamas have been present in Quatar for years so why attack the negotiating team now?

I was just at Peoples History Museum for @sarasiobhan.bsky.social book launch. It was a great but really sad when George read out the names of all the inquests she has reported on - very painful. The world is a better place with Sara & George never giving up the fight @tomjryan99.bsky.social

Petition: Fund a full bursary and maintenance fund to train Learning Disability Nurses

At a time when the demand across health and social care is so high, numbers entering the LD nursing profession are too low. To halt this decline, support the profession with a full bursary and maintenance fund. Now is time for action.

I've been in the UK 3 weeks, and I am shocked at how much Farage, Yousaf, Tice et al are on UK TV screens.
Britain has a serious far-right problem.
The ideology of these fascists has been magnified and platformed to the extreme, it has now gotten dangerously out of control. This is totally insane.

A health check once a year means health problems can be picked up early & treated quickly. After a check up should lead to a plan, made with the person and those who care for or about them. In my experience not all annual health checks lead to a good plan. @dawnc05.bsky.social
