Gaza health ministry says 33 people dead from malnutrition in last 48 hours New figures from the Hamas-run ministry include 12 children who have died, as the UN says Israel must allow aid into Gaza.

A tipping point has been reached.

Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.

Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.

You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

It's a benign condition, unrelated to cardiac function. It's due to failure of venous drainage from the legs, resulting in leg swelling and skin changes.

In case you missed it in The Other Place, Liz Truss has gone properly fucking nuts.

Resident doctors are not paid too little | Tim Worstall | The Critic Magazine Just what should we do about these resident doctors and their impertinent pay demands? First off, go back to calling them medical students. Then we’ll see how their demand to be in the top 10 per cent...

Stopped taking this wind up merchant seriously after he continuously conflates medical students with junior doctors.

Trump Admits 'Elon's Really Not Leaving' During DOGE Press Conference Musk said he got a black eye after telling his 5-year-old son X to punch him in the face.

β€œMany of the DOGE people, Elon, are staying behind too, so they’re not leaving,” Trump said. β€œAnd Elon’s really not leaving. He’s going to be back and forth.”

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy Is Disease, Starvation and Death

"Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year."

Israel announces major expansion of settlements in occupied West Bank The biggest such move in years is condemned by the Palestinian presidency as a "dangerous escalation".

A shameful indictment of the international community.

Inaction towards the ongoing genocide in Gaza has only emboldened Israel to commit more human rights abuses and ethnically cleanse more illegally occupied Palestinian lands.

'The mask is slipping': Nigel Farage takes aim at UK abortion rules NIGEL Farage has saidΒ it is "utterly ludicrous" to allow abortion up to 24 weeks with the law "totally out of date"

The far right are coming for abortion in the UK. People said it would never happen.

But it is a natural consequence of the reactionafu anti-feminist politics we have allowed to fester - even if it has been dressed up as "sex-based rights".

Time to fight back.

Given that he's their most successful manager for years they would be mad to sack him. Imagine sacking a manager who won the Europa League and qualified for the Champions League.

I can't wait for the trend of throwing around the word 'gaslighting' without knowing the proper definition to end.

Picture this: a doctor kisses her husband & their ten children goodbye to go to work.

She returns home to find that 9/10 children have been killed. Her husband & remaining child are injured & might die.

This nightmare is Gaza’s reality. 16,000+ children have been killed there since Oct. 7, 2023.

No aid has reached the starving people of Palestine.

Israeli forces continue to block access despite the imminent risk of literally mass mass death of babies & children.

Today we MUST make our voices heard - come if you can at 6PM to Parliament square & #fastforgaza #r4today

The UN is now warning that 14,000 babies in Gaza face starvation in the next 48 hrs.

The situation could not be more serious.

JD Vance and his forty 4x4s visit the Vatican during trip to Rome The US vice-president, a self-styled β€˜baby Catholic’ who was baptised in 2019, and his family met senior officials from the Catholic Church

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

The alluring claim of the wellness industry is that doctors only understand treating disease, whereas wellness focuses on prevention

And yet they are obsessed with attacking two therapies that have prevented more deaths than any other medical interventions in history – statins and vaccines

I've never felt more strongly about completely banning mobile phones from schools with strict enforcement. They and social media are destroying a generation.

It won't be easy and would be difficult to enforce, but something has to give.

Very weak trial design. Open label and no control arm. They should have used furosemide for control. How do we know the reduction in HF hospitalisations is not all due to the diuretic effect of dapa? How can we be sure a much cheaper diuretic wouldn't have the same effects?
