Ed Davey@EdwardJDavey·
As a parent of a disabled child, you don’t want special treatment, just the right support for your child. Yet while families battle, private equity firms are cashing in. We’ll end this racket, cap profits at 8%, and treat SEND as critical national infrastructure.

New @mariecurieuk research led by Dr Anna Bone and Prof Fliss Murtagh shows 170,000 people die every year with unmet need for palliative and end of life care. That’s one person every three minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=RCP2Bg…

Pls read whole piece. Neither Mandelson or Mosley were asked about Mandelson’s role in fixing Starmer’s visit to Palantir & subsequent £240m deal. It finally made headlines on Weds when a q was asked in Parliament. But honestly, BBC also has qs to answer broligarchy.substack.com/p/peter-thiels…

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While his client, Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’ 1/

@dr_musgrave Got impression last time I heard her interviewed she'd have been happy with people not being criminally prosecuted if they accompanied a loved one to dignitas. Fronting a new law was a surprise. I now know terminal means the last year of life; more is incurable!

Isn’t this magazine article (from a few months back) the perfect argument against the proposed assisted dying law? Esther Rantzen, still alive years being given a terminal diagnosis, and still enjoying life. 🤷‍♀️

@carolecadwalla Potty-mouths unite! All the campaigning on child health of the years has turned me into a monster! It's worth it if it keeps my mental health in balance. I'm never allowed to swear at someone (except when driving with windows shut).

A reader has just pointed out that I swear too much in this post. He's not wrong. The events of the last decade forced me to turn myself into a scrappy streetfighter and it sometimes comes out a little raw... open.substack.com/pub/broligarch…

NEW: Trump's coup is almost complete. And the attack on the press is a central piece of it. Bezos's gutting of the Washington Post cannot be allowed to be just another blip in the news cycle. We are all going to have to fight for a free and independent press. 1/

We're delighted with the gov’s £10m annual commitment to cover travel costs for children with cancer - well done @YLvsCancer Travel is just one of many financial pressures families face - action is needed to support those caring for seriously ill children.
Young Lives vs Cancer@YLvsCancer

Breaking news 📢UK Government commit to a £10 million pound Fund to support children and young people with cancer with the cost of getting to treatment. This is absolutely huge news for young cancer patients and their families who spend an average of £250 per month travelling to treatment, often over many months or years. Thank you so much for standing with us to make a massive difference. 👉bit.ly/4kfx2tB

We look forward to publication of the National Cancer Plan on Wednesday, and are pleased that after years of campaigning it will include a dedicated section for children and young people - a historic first for a National Cancer Plan for England. We've been pleased to work with the Children and Young People's Cancer Taskforce to amplify the voices of children, young people and families throughout development of the plan.
Department of Health and Social Care@DHSCgovuk

📢 Wednesday is World Cancer Day and that's when we'll publish the National Cancer Plan. Marrying the very best of British science with our NHS, this plan is how we'll get cancer care from where it is today to where it needs to be. @WesStreeting explains more 👇

@Tog4ShortLives Still haven't recovered from senior Minister telling me reason children get less than the adults is because 'the judgement will be that the public will pay.'

Every time I hear that ‘the assisted dying debate has actually helped conversations about end of life care’ I want to scream. It is *only* (pro-AD) MPs who ever say this. Like @DrLilyLamb, my exp is this debate has made people *more* fearful of dying, not less. So blinkered.
Lily Lamb@DrLilyLamb

Interesting to hear @SKinnock make the point in the health select committee that the #assisteddying bill has been a positive thing because it has encouraged people to talk more about death and dying. My experience is that it has increased fear about death and dying as the majority of the campaign has been about death being awful and something that must be controlled through ending lives early. Can he really claim this as a positive outcome? Particularly without robust evidence to support this? We need to talk about #normaldying and not pretend a campaign to legalise assisted dying has provided the education the public need.
