Lords role is to scrutinise not to block this bill. It is role of elected MPs to make important public policy decisions. Constitutionally wrong for unelected Lords to frustrate Commons (and go against overwhelming public support for Assisted Dying Bill)
MyDeath, MyDecision@MDMDmydecision
MPs are increasingly worried about tactics in the Lords that are holding back the Assisted Dying Bill. Decisions on this issue should rest with elected politicians, not those using delay to avoid debate. Thank you to @kitmalthouse for speaking up for the terminally ill.

“Volunteering always has and always should be just that. Voluntary. We encourage anyone to support their community, grow skills and give back through volunteering. But, we should never mandate it” - @SaskiaAlice of @NCVO civilsociety.co.uk/news/home-secr…

Small charities are lifelines – but many face closure as rising costs, shrinking donations and surging demand take their toll.
I told today’s @DailyMirror that losing them would be especially damaging: they bring deep local knowledge where statutory services don’t reach.
