Genuinely insane to post this, completely ignoring how he died, who was responsible, that they have remained a member of your organisation for the last two years. Add UEFA to the complicit in genocide list, if they weren’t there already. Shameful.
Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

What can you give to a river that needs everything? This Christmas I decided to give my river the gift of life, in the form of willows trees. I headed out on the River Roding in my canoe, from sunrise to sunset on the shortest day of the year, to see if I could hand harvest & plant 100 willows in a day. Here’s how I got on… 🧵

Dan Poulter was an ex junior dr of mine and literally brought in every policy that has destroyed the NHS He is joining the Labour Party so that post election he can be a medical advisor to the next Labour government. It worries me what advice he will give @Keir_Starmer if you want a passionately pro nhs doctor I'd be happy to advise. I've also spent my career trying to help the nhs not destroy it.
It’s fantastic to welcome Dr Dan Poulter MP to today’s changed Labour Party. It’s time to end the Conservative chaos, turn the page, and get Britain’s future back. I’m really pleased that Dan has decided to join us on this journey.

Start at a new hospital tomorrow which has the dangerous combination of an M&S and a long commute. Going to be a daily battle of will power not to have a bag of Percy Pigs for every drive home… – at Bristol, England

Embarrassing moment in the post office - asked to clarify the postcode on a parcel and had no idea despite it being my writing. Some stereotypes about doctors can be true… – at Bristol, England

Long but enjoyable day in the saddle - 175km distance, 2800m height gain, and great company at the @DartmoorClassic

Great fun finally having a go on an @IntuitiveSurg robot @asgbi. Looking forward to the day that every GI surgery department has one and even us junior registrars get to play.

Ministers must block the take over of GP surgeries by US insurance firm Centene. RT if you agree.

There’s this huge building standing empty in central London. Would be a useful temporary hospital or crisis centre right now.
