I'm a doctor who worked in Gaza — and I'm disgusted at Kallas
As doctors who have worked in Gaza, we went to Brussels to urge immediate action. How to find the words to convey the anger and disappointment as I listened to Kaja Kallas announce recently that the EU will do absolutely nothing in response to the spiralling situation in Gaza.

Saying it like it is when we talk about #deregulation: "the scale of the cuts in the first omnibus proposal [..] showed that the simplification argument was 'basically bollocks' [..] it’s not just weakening it a little bit [..] The heart of the proposal has been taken out.” ~ Paul de Clerck 👀 ⬇️
