Am I the only person concerned about this absolute waste of GMC registrants money on silencing a legitimate critic of Israeli action at the apparent behest of "UK lawyers for Israel"?

Still fathoming percentage of Asian (mainly of Hindu & very recent immigrant heritage) colleagues in the NHS not just support Reform, but as in the case of Mayuran Senthilnathan were willing to campaign as MPs in 2024. In his case advocating more involvement of the private sector in NHS.

Is No 10 seeking its own destruction? Why else would it botch its council plans and hand a victory to Farage? | Polly Toynbee Labour promised β€˜ambitious reforms’, but it was fixing things that were not broken. And the moral: focus on what matters and stop making stupid mistakes, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Too late Polly. Labour are finished. Shockingly reactionary and incompetent on many issues. That's why many people with principle are drifting towards the Greens even if they are far from perfect at the moment www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
