Remain In Hell Without Despair @daphnelawless.com · 8h

I wrote a slightly more developed version of this on Facebook, and some Scottish comrades liked it enough to want to repost it.

It's not just Red-Browns, or even "tankies". It's the section of the Left who despise things like trans rights and YIMBY as "liberalism"...

Palestinian journalist, Saleh Al-Jafarawi, has been killed in Gaza City. Al Jazeera says the 28-year-old was targeted by members of Israel-linked 'militia' fighting Hamas in the Sabra neighbourhood.

The pain for this man in the video is palpable.

Only, this one is in power. At least the Tories, for all of their utter shittery, gave us a referendum.

The Labour Party are coming across as mean. "You won't have your say on Scotland, because we say so."

Professor McKay was amazing. I was fortunate enough to work with her at GCU and take some of her classes (I made a point of choosing the option modules she taught). Insightful, engaging, and left such a great legacy.

Aaliyah 🇮🇪🇵🇸 ‼️SAVE GAZA‼️ @aaliyahxx.bsky.social · 22h

A UK doctor who worked in Gaza both before and after October 2023 tells BBC viewers that Israel had been imposing a siege on the strip for years prior, tightly controlling entry and restricting what people could bring with them.

Gaza has been under a blockade for the last 18 years. Since 2005.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous!

At times we criticise @scotnational.bsky.social. But sometimes it can take our breath away. This is one of those times. Thank-you to all involved.

things originally suggested by Blair etc. Socialists rightly challenged those. Those were to be private sector run, rather than GP partnerships funded by the NHS.

arrangements for gp's (that bevin did not like, btw-but they had to make to persuade gp's into the then new nhs) plus the changes made in 2004). These new things sound like the "shopping centre" pop in

Is the private sector being used to deliver this new service? Are they going to be managed by private sector, rather than managed by gp's (surgeries are gp managed, under the terms of the original special nhs

Who is providing this? Hopefully NOT private providers?

We’re opening new GP walk-in centres across Scotland, staffed by doctors and nurses, and you won't need an appointment.

Open from 12 to 8, 7 days a week, so you can get the care you need at a time that works for you.
