I couldn’t give a damn about Badenoch’s speech today. They’re out of power. 4+years from an election. Incapable of working out where they went wrong. Unapologetic for the damage they’ve done. Pathologically dishonest and very unpleasant. Nothing she says will change that. Nothing she says matters.

Disability benefit cuts plan ruled unlawful as DWP loses court case

Ellen Clifford ‘overjoyed’ as High Court says Government failed to highlight ‘substantial’ loss of benefit payments.

Imposter syndrome - Wheelie MS Advocate Thinking about imposter syndrome a lot just recently mainly because two years after diagnosis, I probably still don't accept I have MS.

But this bill won't help that you have to have a 6 month prognosis on terminal illness and be lucid enough to make the decision.

Not wishing to be cynical but, with current shortages of doctors and judges, most patients would be dead before a decision could be taken.
I've discussed assisted dying with a Belgian friend; they have that option similar to NL and CH. It seems kinder to remove the fear of an agonised end.

2. This bill will apply to very few people. It requires two independent Dr's and a high court judge.

1. What people are not understanding is that this bill is only relevant to terminal illness within 6 months of prognosis. The decision made by the patient when lucid. It needs much deeper discussion before rushing through. Yes, everyone has a right to choice, but as it stands.

It is only allowing 5 hours for a debate on such an important subject. It is disgraceful 😑

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

I am sorry to hear that. I agree it's personal choice, I am just very nervous of a bill reading on a Friday and how many will attend. I feel there will likely be more abstentions than votes.

Netanyahu and Gallant should just be the start, but what about politicians who have been complicit?

Joe Biden, Keir Starmer and others should face some kind of consequence for cheerleading this on.

Bluesky can suspend Nigel Farage in less than 36 hours.

But the Police can't question him over the riots he incited, even after 5 months.

John Prescott was a politician both behind and ahead of his time. Considered too bluff and old Labour to reach to the very top in the 90s, today his authenticity and class credentials would have been perfect to fight Farage and populism. Labour needs more like him.
