| 1641344890033393664 | Honestly at this point I think the @gmcuk owe the medical profession an open and honest explanation as to why they arenโt investigating Aseem Malhotra. They have been woefully negligent. | 89 |

| 1641226625529331712 | Ideological capture of @gmcuk by gender identity lobby has resulted in denunciation of "so-called conversion therapy" which is neither defined not does it acknowledge that helping mentally distressed patients avoid iatrogenic injury is consistent with First, do no harm. https://t.co/uLpTE2Qs6E https://t.co/yMuD8yjxwX | 11 |
| 1641408795552227329 | A reminder to all clinicians that whenever the @gmcuk is challenged on their ideological stance, they insist that their pages are "advice, not a guidance".

| 1641378199664721920 | @Neuro_Matt @gmcuk Their response to me was that (in part) their concern his removal would risk causing even bigger media coverage of his views, but I donโt think thatโs a good enough reason. | 66 |

| 1641199470699487232 | @jonathanstea Iโm not sure whatโs more shameful: Malhotraโs terrible and unprofessional behaviour, Or the @gmcuk which refuses to hold him to account. | 48 |
| 1641447987749720067 | Very excited to be speaking at this event tomorrow. ๐๐ฝ I'll be championing #WelcomingAndValuingIMGs - a collaboration across @gmcuk, @TheBMA, @NHS_HealthEdEng, @MPS_Medical led by the wonderful @RaoMala.

| 1641395773395853313 | @drsophiegp @gmcuk I agree. Especially in light of the fact most people would have genuine clinical concerns about his management of cardiac patients at this point. | 36 |
