And we can't afford a wealth tax, bollocks

Fatdog were a new one for me, absolutely brilliant

Well done

Yep, me supporting the terminally ill decision to end their life at their own time of choosing makes me a monster.
The law is still only for the terminally ill with 6 months life expectancy, that's pretty strict to me.

It's one of the most stringent assisted dying laws in the world, for those terminally ill with less than 6 months to live. For me it's far too strict and would favour a much more relaxed approach.

Glad to see it's passed

What absolute nonsense

Such a shame, those suffering should have the right to choose where and when they die, rather than be forced to prolong the inevitable and put their family through such pain.
If this does not get voted through this time, the debate will be closed for another 5 years minimum.

Not enough, in fact, absolutly fucking pointless.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." - James Maddison

USians need to remember the words of their founding fathers.

"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

Rise up

So Reform UK's "we're not racist" poster boy has just quit over the new Reform MP's Islamophobic question at PMQ.
Well I never...

You lot sound bitter. They were 16th and 17th because they focused on the Europa League once any chance of qualifying for Europe vanished from their league position.

I see the "antisemitism" label already being used. They were killed because they were Israeli, not because they were Jewish. It's already confirmed that there is a direct link with the conflict in Palestine.
Overuse the word, and it loses its meaning.

I get that, but if we never vote for a party because of past indiscretions, then there would be no one to vote for. I shouldn't vote Labour because of the Iraq war, but I do.
The Lib Dems have learnt from 14 years ago, and without PR, for most, they are the only option out of the '4' main parties.

Get ready to reset.

I'm so disappointed with the Labour government, I had such high hopes last summer. Some really poor decisions, poor execution, and pandering to Reform voters.
Such an amazing opportunity wasted.
I think today is the official day I move across to the #LibDems.

Get in!!! COYS

We're just trading one right wing party for a more right wing one. Labour, the Lib Dems and Greens just need to hang in and not faulter, no need to pander to the nonsense coming from that man.

Electoral reform

Genocide? oh, no hold on a second.
Mass starvation? um, maybe not
Destroying hospitals? shit
Raping and murdering girls and women? nope, not that either

All celebrations here cancelled unfortunately, was planning a night out to celebrate but all music events are off due to some old guy who was seriously ill dying.

It won't be long

Well that's me screwed then

My son was applying for a football scholarship to US collages, but now we've decided to bin that idea. It's shocking now but hate to think what it will be like in 18 months when he was due to move there. Such a shame.

The Inglorious Bastards

Good, the more bat shit crazy policies they come up with, the more unelectable they continue to be.

And they wonder why Ireland has 'Anti-Israeli policies'

If Israel has any difficulty understanding why Ireland has such 'anti-Israeli policies'?
If only most other governments stood up to them like Ireland, South Africa, Spain and a few other things might change.

I've heard it once or twice that @mrjamesob.bsky.social might have a book or two?
Not sure where I heard those rumours though...
