In a major diplomatic rift, Spain has officially severed ties with Israel, implementing an arms embargo, travel and trade bans, and restrictions on Israeli goods.

Out of 6,600 aid trucks, only 986 got through. Some of the aid was destroyed, and some went to those to whom it was promised 3,000 years ago.

This is disastrous on multiple levels. We already have a high level of mistrust & people opting out of sharing will hit medical research so hard. Iโ€™d also hesitate to encourage people to share their protected characteristics data to monitor equality & diversity because of the plausibility of misuse.

The silence of the Westminster lobby as one of their own backs calls for me โ€” an elected Member of Parliament โ€” to be deported is telling.

No condemnation, just bootlicking of their proprietors and jostling for Zone 2 dinner party invites.

Israel destroys ceasefire in hours Today, Israel slaughtered Palestinians and resumed siege. Not a "ceasefire"

Israel has destroyed the "ceasefire" in hours.

It is murdering Palestinians, and maintaining its illegal siege.

Not a ceasefire.

This is outrageous. A plan for the NHS should reflect the needs of patients and the public, not private sector interests.

Dear

Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy.

In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants.

Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully.

Best wishes,

Dr Beccy Cooper MP
