Was it Islamophobic for #EmmaBarnett to repeatedly ask first female secretary-general @MuslimCouncil Zara Mohammed how many female Imams in the UK? #bbcwomanshour
BBC response bbc.com/news/entertain…
Now I must confess I tracked down a clip of original interview & didn't find it particularly hostile. Probably Mohammed should have stuck to her original answer that she hadn't a clue, assuming it is indeed the case she hadn't a clue (which is pretty embarrassing in itself).
I would like to see @BBCWomansHour invite @HiboWardere on if they haven't thought of already. She ain't gonna be fazed by direct questions.

RISK TO PATIENT SAFETY: General Pharmaceutical Council @TheGPhC has published enforcement actions they felt compelled to take against two pharmacies working with #GenderGP on grounds of risk to patient safety. Their public response pharmacyregulation.org/news/our-respo…
Surely there must be more regulation to protect patients in UK from potential malpractice in dispensing medicines on grounds of patient safety? You'd be right. @TheGPhC should be commended for stepping up here. Key enforcement reasons in thread below from pharmacyregulation.org/sites/default/…
"Over last 6 months we have carried out two intelligence-led inspections of pharmacies dispensing prescriptions from prescribers working on behalf of #GenderGP. We did not target these pharmacies because of services they were providing to patients from the transgender community;"

GenderGP doubling down on its medical & business model by accusing @Telegraph of fake news & attacks upon it. However comparison of Telegraph story with #GenderGP own elaborations & clarifications demonstrate high degree of congruence & next to no discernible misrepresentation. GenderGP accuses Telegraph ...
Here again is GenderGP responses. I could be wrong but it looks to me like they have edited the page since yesterday, with several new paragraphs gendergp.com/uk-media-promo…
Four claims GenderGP describes as "True" on website:

GenderGP provides ‘easy access’ to medicines to under-16s.

GenderGP provides puberty blockers to people as young as 10.

Not all patients need to speak to a doctor

GenderGP has prescribed hormones to patients as young as 12.

Delegates to #gpconf please take a look at this Late Motion which would Prohibit private clinics from exploiting NHS moratoria on the prescription of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria. electshahrar.co.uk/late-motion-pr…
Lest there be any doubt about necessity of a motion such as this - just this evening someone openly advocating for patients to bypass Tavistock "shitshow" using internet pharmacy. I'm shocked by their responses to my probing see thread below
Looks like there may be a story around Gender GP patient safety in tomorrow's Telegraph hence this pre-emptive post by the former which is anything but reassuring. gendergp.com/uk-media-promo…

Greens consider rejection of IHRA take on antisemitism
morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/gree… Motion tabled by Shahrar Ali. If passed, it will make the Greens the first political party to officially reject defn which has been widely criticised for seeking to silence criticism of Israel. #gpconf
Shahrar Ali told Morning Star: “The IHRA definition is rightly controversial as it promotes conflation of legitimate opposition to Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinian people and human rights abuses under international law with unjust allegations of antisemitism."
“Greens know it is necessary to fight racism in all its hateful, ignorant forms, including anti-Jewish racism.”

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has threatened to withdraw funding from universities if they refuse to adopt the definition.

UN human rights experts have said that as occupying power, Israel is required under Fourth Geneva Convention, “to the fullest extent of the means available to it”, to maintain health services in the occupied territory.
Article 56 requires Israel to adopt and apply “the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics” in cooperation with national and local authorities.
If the protected population is inadequately supplied, the occupying power is required under the Convention to facilitate relief schemes “by all means at its disposal”.

Poll result after 173 participated. 83% favour @TheGreenParty rejecting IHRA definition. This March 1-7 2021 we will have the opportunity to do just that & to fight both antisemitism & all racism including that perpetrated by the state of Israel upon Palestinian people. #gpconf
Motion to #gpconf includes following text:

"Greens are at the heart of building a movement against racism and fascism, and there is no place for antisemitism, Islamophobia or any other kind of racism in our Party."
"At a time when the far-right is growing in confidence it is more important than ever to stand against Holocaust denial, anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and any other forms of antisemitic prejudice and hatred."
