Mrs A

So proud of my wonderful year 11s. You did yourselves proud! #CHS #DreamBig #gcseresults

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results tomorrow! 🎉

@norchcity Not in our school. Our school fill our year 11 time with a set project. Then we have to show/explain what we accomplished during cpd at the end of term.

@Xris32 That is crazy! 🤣

@criminographer Thinking of you ❤️

Being with her just brought me so much joy. She forced silliness even when you couldn't have been feeling less like being silly. Rough afternoon. She should be in our garden after nursery enjoying the sunshine. #grief #childloss

@criminographer Happy birthday Isabelle. Thinking of you on what just be an extraordinarily difficult day. ❤️

Happy birthday, beautiful girl. I hope you are still holding the stars. X

@dave_mcpartlin I am thinking about going for an ADHD diagnosis myself and the more I research it the more I realise that my other symptoms were probably this. Can I ask - how long did the referral process take & did you start by talking to your GP?

Started looking in to ADHD as I was struggling to sleep & had a very active brain which is pretty helpful during day but not in middle of night. More I learn, more I’m convinced that so many diagnosed with depression actually have ADHD & we’re treating the symptom not the cause.

@Jenny_1884 I think you are crazy if you think 14 years of systemic degradation is surpassed by 6 months!

Who else believes that Labour have caused more damage to this country in the 6 months that they have been in power than the Conservatives (who were bad) did in the last 14yrs?

@marcuschown I'm sorry but only last year I witnessed my mum die in agony.She had trip neg breast cancer that has metastasised into skin cancer (boils, open lesions all over her front and back).The pall team could only say 'we don't know what else we can try'. Morphine didn't touch the sides.

In 40 years as a palliative care nurse, my wife has never seen a patient die in agony. Always it has been possible to control their pain. Sometimes, it has taken a while to get the drugs right. But that has always been achieved.

@BiologyAwesome @kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight Again it is not a terminal diagnosis. The bill is for people with a diagnosed terminal illness who have approximately 6 or less months to live.

@HolgateMiss @kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight You said that there was a threshold. This is actually the threshold given to anyone in a care home, every old person is considered to have less than 6 months to live until they live them. Cf Canada

“I’m shocked a Labour government would do this…and make this one of the first things they do.” “Do you blame the Prime Minister for that?” “Of course…” Christian Fraser speaks to actor and campaigner Liz Carr in the moments after MPs backed proposals to legalise assisted dying.

@BiologyAwesome @kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight Being old is not a terminal diagnosis! This bill isn't about looking at old people and saying there is a high chance you might die soon so we can help you commit suicide! I'm afraid you are making total hyperbolic comments that don't have a link to reality.

@kennedy2324 @HolgateMiss @BBCNewsnight And it's given quite liberally to anyone who's very old. They're considered alive for 6 months max.

@kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight The truth is that people who choose this will definitely die by the hands of their disease&are considered to be in the very late stages. Also 2 drs have to agree. I saw my mum die in agony in her last 3 weeks. The pall team had nothing else they could try to keep her comfortable.

@HolgateMiss @BBCNewsnight A diagnosis of 6 months or less is subjective, and often wrong. It’s unsafe, and it’s why subjective assessment is bound to creep into this laws application.

@kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight This bill is only for terminal ill patients who have been diagnosed as having 6 months or less to live. It is not an assisted dying scheme for the elderly.

@BBCNewsnight This is such a ridiculous position. People will be encouraged to end their life to protect their saving (estate) for their children by opting for assisted suicide rather than incur care homes or hospice cost!!

@GlasgowPam The bill only applies to people who have a terminal diagnosis with less than 6 months to live. It has nothing to do with disabled people.

I am heartbroken. Sending love to all my disabled friends, sisters and brothers🩷.

@BBCNewsnight Having watched my mum die & seeing how the cancer ravaged her skin and left her with painful open blisters and boils that left her in pieces (even with high doses of morphine). This type of experience really gives you a perspective. My mum shouldn't have had to die like that. 😥

“I’m absolutely haunted [by it] and that’s why I advocate so strongly for assisted dying” Nathaniel Dye – whose mother died of the same cancer he is dying from – explains why he’s backing tomorrow’s bill. #Newsnight

@SamanthaTaghoy Try watching someone you love more than anything die a slow agonising death because palliative drugs don't minimise their pain. Going through something like that really changes your perspective on things like this. No one should have to die like that.

@yuanyi_z @polblonde How is this state suicide?It is not a system where you can just opt in if you want to commit suicide. These people have less than 6 months left to live. Some will get a peaceful end with the use of pall drugs, but drugs don't work for everyone. Their end will be agonising & slow

This is what it literally is, Lewis. If you don't like the reality of what you're supporting maybe you should rethink again.

@polblonde The bill is only for people who have a terminal diagnosis and have less than 6 months left to live. My mum's last 3 weeks were spent in agony that morphine could not touch. People in this position should have the right to choose how they spend their last few weeks/months.

I am horrified by this result, which is based on illusions & minimises the risk of coercive control, which disproportionately affects women. The July general election is having a series of disastrous & unexpected outcomes. news.sky.com/story/assisted…

@sleeepysandy I can't respond to your tweet within X's word count limit, but here is my rebuttal and the reason why I passionately disagree based on my own personal circumstances.

@HolgateMiss Are you aware that one doctor gets to select the other, and can have another go if the first one doesn’t agree? And they don’t actually need to be doctors? And that the family have no right to appeal or question it? And inquests are specifically barred, unlike other suicides?

I hate falling out with people, but on assisted dying: your desire to have a death at the time and of the type of your choosing does not outweigh the evident risks of ill, elderly and disabled people being bullied & cajoled into agreeing to be killed. Get better palliative care.
