To hold a 5 hour debate on a Bill published just a couple of weeks earlier - on an issue of profound gravity & which involves irrevocably ending a person’s life - risks turning @UKParliament into a rubber stamp. @joannaccherry is right, this is not the way in which to make law.
I agree with Sarah Ditum. Assisted dying bills should not speed through either parliament without proper discussion of the legal and ethical consequences, or the effect on the NHS. thetimes.com/article/451539…
Seeing attempts to link opponents of #AssistedDying to conservative religious groups. In fact, opposition is spread across palliative care, disability groups, mental health, many more. People on all sides hold genuine beliefs. No more “fellow traveller” insinuations.
Euthanasia: Careful what you wish for. Dutch consider further extension of euthanasia laws to anyone over 75. Meanwhile seniorUK Judge says UK Bill is “profoundly unsatisfactory” “Lamentably short of adequate safeguards.”Care not Kill. @Keir_Starmer @wesstreeting @RachaelMaskell
A very powerful personal argument from Sir Ed Davey @EdDaveyNews
.@EdDaveyNews spells out the pressures that euthanasia legislation will place on the vulnerable. We need legislation to provide comprehensive palliative care and end of life support. Not lethal injections. Times: @Tanni_GT @thelizcarr @Live_Die_Well @timfarron @frankcottrell_b
3 weeks until MPs vote on legalising medically assisted suicide in England & Wales That means another reminder to please watch @BBC Better Off Dead? my documentary explaining why many disabled people, like me, who aren't religious but who oppose this law bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
Here in Toxteth in Liverpool, I encouraged 3 of my tutees today to write their 500 Words ideas - one in Y4, one in Y6 and one in Y7 (who’s still 11). They are writing sensational stories of fantastical books, magic sports equipment and spooky settings respectively. Why not…
THIS WEDNESDAY!
November's Writing Advice desk is NEXT week! ✨ Wednesday 6 November, 5.30 pm - 7 pm with Eleanor Rees and Dave Ward at @Lpoolcentlib Level 2!🖋️
Some time in 2025 after the Assisted Dying vote: Mabel is too frail to return home from hospital, but has no acute medical problem after her UTI was treated for 3 days. She has been sitting in a hospital bed for 5 weeks waiting for a care home placement. She feels awful about…
4 weeks today MPs vote whether to progress with legalising medically assisted suicide in England & Wales. I made this documentary with @BBC @OpenUniversity @_BurningBright_ to explain why me & many other disabled people are opposed. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
I love helping to judge these awards. Free to enter in the 16-18 category and a really useful set of resources. 2024’s Keats-Shelley and Young Romantics Prizes Are Open - News from the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association keats-shelley.org/news/keats_she…
You can't make judgments about "quality of life" w/o implicitly denigrating the lives of others with similar conditions & vulnerabilities. Many people are terrified about euthanasia because countless judgments are now being made about life's quality apart from choice or consent.
Dr Juliet Spiller, a palliative medicine consultant, warns that ‘assisted dying’ will undermine her profession.
GP sums up danger of permitting euthanasia:"legislation to make assisted dying easier would help some but imperil many..the question is not whether it would have benefits,the question is what it would do overall"@wesstreeting @RachaelMaskell @thelizcarr spectator.co.uk/article/why-th…
She was just walking home. Lea Rose Cheng was followed home from a pub by a man she knew whilst in a vulnerable state. CCTV evidence provided a compelling account that she was sexually assaulted by the man in her flat whom she had no memory of striking out against and killing.…
Wes Streeting said “something has gone wrong in our society” as he met NHS nurses fighting to keep biological males out of a women’s changing room in their hospital. thetimes.com/article/1bffb1…
“We are not doing this just for nurses. We are doing this for women across the country" Amazing to see the Darlington nurses presenting a petition to parliament! They are fighting for women's access to single-sex changing rooms & toilets in the NHS. So important! @CConcern
The magnificent Julia Long challenges Labour MP Lisa Nandy's support for self ID in UK prisons. #IStandwithJuliaLong
BREAKING: The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Wes Streeting, has this week met with the Darlington nurses and said he is committed to the belief that sex is biological being reflected in the day-to-day running of the NHS under his watch. The nurses, who are being…
A really important letter that should make MPs sit up and listen. Senior lawyers from across practice and academia, including a former Chief Coroner, a former Lord Chancellor, and distinguished academics, KCs, Peers and others, warn of the dangers of legalising assisted suicide.…
This man has nailed it. 👇 The poor & marginalised will find they have a greater ‘need’ for assisted dying. We are currently not providing acceptable levels of health, social or palliative care in the U.K. A law change would be dangerous, & wide open to abuse, in this context.
"Where assisted suicide has been introduced, it tends to have a disproportionate impact on poorer and marginalised communities in society. There's no doubt that would also be the implication here in Wales" - Darren Millar MS.
