From what I can see, very few Lords support it, and most have serious problems with it because it is appallingly written and allows too many loopholes. Let me ask you Kim.. I’m a mother of an anorexic who at 15 years old in hospital begged to die. She is now 24, having got a…
We are hearing credible reports, supported by amendments tabled by the Bill sponsor, that the proposed £275 million NHS assisted suicide service will be contracted-out, very likely to the lobbyist organisation pushing for the assisted suicide Bill. Follow the money.
Correct take re recruitment To properly run the British State you need c. 2k people who share your project in key positions Tory party possibly managed to consciously recruit c. 10-20% of that and had the rest on auto pilot I'm deeply sceptical Reform will manage but tbf to…
🚨Why Reform are going to fail in Government: In short the answer is a lack of fundraising, recruitment, and policy experience. All areas @ZiaYusufUK is responsible for. The major parties have research departments who are filled with dozens of talented and experienced policy…
Is that because you are incapable of engaging with the detail and why it might matter. If you don’t have any ethical qualms about the age of the baby consider the mother. Jessica Khan who gave evidence in Commons did a detailed study on complications and flagged the risks with…
The show-stopping and stunning 92-year-old Baroness Butler-Sloss raging against the assisted suicide bill in the Lords today. She warns that AS would be expanded far beyond the terminally ill to people with disabilities and mental health conditions, as it has in other places.
I am deeply frustrated by the professional job the Lords are doing, ignoring my favoured strategy of rushing through a dangerous bill which will force every terminally ill person to face a cruel pressure to kill themselves. Chop chop!
I welcome scrutiny from the House of Lords & respect the impt job they have to do, but we must work together to ensure the Terminally Ill Adults Bill passes through Parliament in a timely fashion to giving dying people choice & dignity in their final days. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Moment of the day? Baroness Finlay quotes to Lord Falconer *his own* 2011 report, which said people should not receive an assisted death because of “lack of access to adequate end-of-life care and support.” Falconer suddenly stops nodding.
Baroness Butler-Sloss states that it is "extremly unjust" for someone to 'encourage' another person to die. Just because it doesn't meet the threshold of 'coercion' or 'abuse' in the Bill does not take away the horror of the act.
Big drivers of suicide in men are: Economic stress Alcohol Isolation Physical illness & disability Mental illness & how it is treated Key prevention priorities. Link to today’s #MensHealth Strategy. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691c8a7b…
Second reading: “Just vote it through and it’ll be fixed in time for third reading” Third reading: “Just vote it through and it’ll be fixed in the Lords” In the Lords: “Just vote it through—you do realise MPs have already approved it?”
As this thread illustrates, ahead of the third reading of the assisted dying bill, a lot of MPs who voted yes appear to have been reassured that it could be “sorted out in the Lords”. It would be interesting to know where this reassurance was coming from.
Extremely informative article on drugs used in euthanasia / assisted dying / suicide. So many important questions, so few answers, and so much currently being left to secondary legislation. spcare.bmj.com/content/early/…
If a terminally ill man commits murder, the state will offer him death, not for being a murderer, but for being terminally ill. #assisteddying
It was a privilege to deliver the Lord Speaker’s Lecture last night in Parliament on populism in our politics and how it threatens to undermine our democratic values.
If you request - or presumably your proxy! - your second reflection period after the panel make a decision can be shortened to 24 hours. And you can be given the drugs on Day 18.
I can't sleep. I've just looked at Lord Birt's and Lord Pannick's amendments first reported by @Telegraph. They say it delivers a 'separate service' within the NHS, but it's a charter for abuse, fast-tracking ending lives with a cheery navigator 1/
We are hearing deeply disturbing but credible reports that, if Kim Leadbeater’s Assisted Suicide Bill is passed, A&E patients with terminal diagnosis will be 'screened' on arrival to see, effectively, if they'd prefer death to treatment. Welcome to the future, everyone.
If Reform UK form the next government, who would become Chancellor, Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary and Health Secretary? And would the public have faith in the people in those roles given their lack of ministerial experience?
A man deliberately takes his own life by taking a lethal dose of drugs. Another man deliberately takes his own life by going through the UK assisted dying procedure. Why is one suicide and the other not?
