protecting women and girls by broadcasting their live location to the police force, who of course, have never committed an act of violence against women ever!

@EmmaRoddickSNP The cognitive dissonance/willful ignorance on this is wild

These headlines have been rampant, particularly in a Scottish context, for the last three weeks.
But I am expected to believe that we live in a society capable of shielding disabled people from the dangers of assisted death. We are, sadly, far away from that being the truth.

But that's precisely the reason I would vote against it if I was an MSP.
I support assisted dying in principle, but in neoliberal austerity Britain, there's no chance i'd unleash the power of the state to enact euthanasia.

Quite an argument from Alex Cole-Hamilton (Lib Dem): “Please don’t vote against this bill because you are waiting for a safer one. “In this moment of final decision, all that is left for us to decide is whether we support the idea of choice at the end or we don’t”.

I’m glad our parliament had a round debate about assisted suicide.
However, no matter how positive the intentions, I cannot support assisted suicide legislation.
An ableist society cannot create non-ableist solutions.
Let’s give people a right to live before the right to die

Nearly 7 in 10 Scots say improve disability care before assisted suicide, poll finds heraldscotland.com/news/25937900.…

@JedSparklet I agree. So dangerously dismissive of the concerns of disability experts too. It was simply not possible, in the current climate, to legislate the harm out of this.
The fact so many of them felt comfortable to take the chance is worrying.
English
A huge relief. Wishing we were ready and being ready are different things.
Our society is increasingly unkind to our most vulnerable. No amount of red tape would have protected them in practice.
We are an entire cultural shift away from being ready for this.

Am opposed to assisted dying, while respecting the position of many of those arguing for it. A debate requiring empathy and nuance. But ultimately, whatever merit the principle may have, it cannot be abstracted from the existing conditions of society.

Amid the drama of the last few years, the fearless ambition that was once so synonymous with the party has undeniably stifled and I can only hope that the security of another term is what the SNP machine needs to revive itself, writes Kelly Given ✍️

Doubtless Stuart Campbell will be dancing a jig, but she deserves a lot of credit for protecting the party's interests. For the SNP to have any chance of hitting the target of an overall majority, even Edinburgh Southern can't be neglected.

Almost like the most effective way to reduce crime is policies that make people less desperate? NOT increased policing??

@djohnsonmsp I have to say, I’ve been wary of your neurodiversity activism since you belittled my experience with late diagnosis on a panel we shared in 2023.
This desperate post confirms that those concerns were valid. This isn’t the behaviour of a true friend to our community.

Proves that voters in South Edinburgh cannot trust the SNP.

@SellicDa @murchadhfinn Totally agree. Thanks so much for sharing 🍀

@murchadhfinn Amazing article. Absolutely nailed it. The board have been trying to for years to “invoke political neutrality” to chase profits.
Well done @kellylgiven
