She was such an amazing person, wonderful scientist and fun to be with. I feel privileged to have known her and will remember some of our conversations fondly

This delay in paying compensation is unconscionably cruel. These poor people have suffered enough. I sat on the psychosocial expert panel in the inquiry, maybe we should reconvene and reexamine the extra psychological and social harm now being caused?

This is so alarming- affecting not just the insane people who voted for children to oversee vital public services

This has nothing to do with Trump, does he even know how many US states have had assisted dying for years?

Would the UK media outlets please publicise the opinions of the Lib Dems and the Greens instead of this seemingly endless promotion of Reform who only have 6 MPs for goodness sake.

Infected blood victims call for faster compensation. It is beyond belief that a year after the report was published, many victims have still not received anything

Rema, many non-commercially available comm skills courses are charitably funded. Lots have no evidence base for efficacy or pedagogical basis. We occasionally run facilitator training courses but these are for specific areas ie issues re genetic testing or metastatic disease. See SHORE-c website

5 yrs ago we wrote the psychosocial report for the infected blood inquiry. How much further psycholosocial harm has been suffered by the infected who are still alive and their affected families due to delays in paying any compensation is unconscionable

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history.

They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Here's a 🎶 twist on Coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?"

It reflects on the grotesque media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with Zelensky & Ukraine.

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Beyond belief. Is this really the man we’re going to fawn over with a State Visit? It’s time for our PM to pick a side

Watching our prime minister low towing to that vile orange buffoon in the White House sickening albeit necessary. Bet the King is thrilled about a state visit!

How likely is it that a pt in a Phase 2 oncology trial will receive a drug that is ultimately FDA-approved? This study says 16.2% (19.4% for NCCN off-label recommendations as well). However, when using an ESMO scale assessing "substantial clinical benefit" it's 9.3% academic.oup.com/jnci/advance...

She is correct and having an MDT rather than one high court judge ensures more secure scrutiny of competency and potential coercion!

Intrigued as to why Danny Kruger feels that the assessment of competency and coercion by one high court judge is preferable to a multidisciplinary panel of social workers, psychiatrists and retired judges in Assisted Dying.

Opinion | There are several reasons Musk wants to control Treasury payments. None of them are good. An unelected and unaccountable billionaire wants to dictate what working families can and cannot afford.

While the assisted dying bill goes through committee stage, crucial that people realise we need to support our hospices who are dependent on charity. They are not mutually exclusive aims - better palliative care & assisted dying for those whose pain & dignity is not resolved despite great care
