I didn’t get to give the speech I’d prepared but I was able to highlight this. Govt have effectively dismissed amendments not tabled by the Bill sponsor yet are supposedly taking a neutral position.
Right To Life UK@RightToLifeUK
Rebecca Smith MP (@swdevonrebecca) bravely exposes the government's willingness to assist with *only* the amendments tabled or accepted by Kim Leadbeater. This means anyone with serious concerns may receive no help with their proposed amendments. Is this fair or democratic?

I haven't seen a single person defend this policy. Because it's indefensible. Class war at the expense of children.

So Latin is cancelled for 5000 State school pupils These pupils will not even be able to complete their academic year studies as from Feb 2025, Latin is removed from State School curriculum altogether. No doubt many parents will comment “ it’s a dead language, what’s the point ? “ @holland_tom would really appreciate if you could pls share your thoughts on this policy announced by @educationgovuk , Do you think this will have detrimental affect on state school pupils ? @EducationNotTax Labour’s axing of Latin lessons is an act of cultural vandalism, link below 👇

It’s lucky we have a famously competent state, a well-funded health service, & courts with plenty of time on their hands, or I’d be worrying that this is a terrible decision

MPs in the House of Commons have voted 330 to 275 in favour of a bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales Follow live reaction bbc.in/49ecD2F

I'm sorry we lost. We will fight every remaining stage of the bill. I don't want to hear MPs a decade down the line saying they regret their votes. You knew.

I appreciate that I'm prolific today re assisted suicide. (By the weekend, I'll be asleep and / or watching Christmas movies. Or horror films...)
But here's something I wrote for @guardian that might help some disabled people's fears for changing the law

@yuanyi_z Thank you, Yuan, for everything you're doing to highlight the deep flaws in this appalling piece of proposed legislation, let's pray the vote goes the right way tomorrow.

When I began writing about assisted suicide and euthanasia I had hoped Canada's tragedy would serve as a warning to other countries which were considering following it on the same path.
This week, more than ever, I still hold out that hope.

Many MPs are still undecided about tomorrow's vote. Here I will highlight some MPs who have voiced their opposition in the last 24 hours or so, with their reasons as to why:

On Friday, I will be voting against legalising assisted suicide/ assisted dying.

Plymouth's wonderful 1950s stripped classicism has been given a much-needed clean!
C20 Society@C20Society
Good news bulletin: Plymouth city centre's fabulous post-war civic architecture has been given a £2.1 million deep-clean, thanks to grant funding from @HistoricEngland and other match funders. Pictured is Pearl Assurance House (Alec French, 1952). What a difference a good scrub makes! 🧼
