The first practicing doctor to be imprisoned for climate protest. He’ll then likely face suspension or worse from @gmcuk.bsky.social who remain intransigent in their determination to suspend doctors for peaceful protests. Who on Earth does this serve? It helps no one and harms everyone.

When there’s a disaster, the last “man” standing should be the health system. Ready to help people. Instead, 25% of it will be underwater. Flooded A&Es have already been turning people away. Ambulances have been washed away. Health leaders have been asleep at the wheel on climate resilience.
