Incomprehensible to accept that 7 months ago we had a healthy 17 year old son with a bright future ahead and now he’s in this grave. Offered no treatment for a DIPG brain tumour. Our politicians must do more for research #dipg #braintumours #doingitfordaniel

@RussellFindlay1 Have often respected your views but very disappointed you have voted this way. Adults with a terminal illness should have the right to end their lives. It’s a cruelty not to allow this. MSPs voting against this should be ashamed 💔

Some MSPs say they still don't know whether to vote for or against assisted dying in Scotland. At this late stage, if in doubt about this profoundly significant legislation, they must surely vote against.

@Douglas4Moray Those who voted against this bill are a disgrace. Adults with a terminal illness should have the right to make the decision. Scotland is a backward country.

This has been a hugely difficult vote. There are compelling arguments on both sides and I realise my decision will be supported by some and opposed by others. But looking at the detail, I could not support the Bill tonight with the risks of coercion and lack of safeguards.

This petition needs just over 2,000 signatures to reach its target and have the possibility of being debated in parliament. If you could sign it and share it I would be so grateful. Brain cancer kills more of our children than any other cancer. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7388…

@richardajkeys @GabbyLogan is everything you are not. That family have endured the worst possible trauma in losing their son and brother. They have now lost their dad. Try understanding what their lives have been like coping with this. Your post was misogynistic, ungracious and disrespectful.

What a shame my words for a footballing hero of mine were entirely misinterpreted. Terry Yorath was a fabulous guy. A warrior. My affection for him meant I was more than happy to help him & his family in any way I could. Gabby’s career would make any father proud. RIP Terry.

One of my best friends, Alex who is 23 years old and his family have set up a @JustGiving page to help raise money to help him access the best treatments available to him. I was living with him at the time when he fell unwell in May so took him to hospital with another one of our friends. We were all shocked to find out that he had cancer, which was later diagnosed as a stage 4 glioma. Despite the standard NHS treatment, it was discovered on New Year’s Eve that there was some further growth. This has made the need for additional funds even more important, so if you could take a moment to access the link provided, read Alex’s story that would be massively appreciated. The fundraiser has already raised over £50,000 which is amazing, however, the costs of private treatment, travel and insurance have been quoted to be £200,000 to his family. I know January is a tough time for everyone, financially, if you can donate that would be amazing, but sharing this with as many people as possible is just as important. Here is the link to read more about it. Thank you🙏 #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/alex-warw…

If you could share this post for Alex who is 23 and hoping for treatment abroad for brain cancer which sadly often has zero treatment options in the UK. Every young person with cancer deserves hope and the chance of treatment 💛🎗️

@shitscaredmum New year is f@@@ing horrendous when you have lost a child. No amount of time can ease the pain. It’s a life sentence. Sending so much love to you all Nicola 💔

Grief is tough at Christmas but New Year feels especially painful. It’s another year that Laura doesn’t get to see - now I’ll have to say ‘my daughter died 3 years ago’ but to me it feels like just yesterday. Some people might think I’d be over her loss by now 1/3

The SNP is considering allowing babies to be aborted BECAUSE of their sex. Sex-Selective Abortions (SSAs) are disgusting, morally repugnant, sinister and barbaric. They cannot be allowed in Scotland - the SNP must be stopped. 👇 dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This poor Jewish guy was trapped on a London bus for an hour while the driver refused to give him back his bank card that he had dropped. He’s weeping in frustration and sadness. My heart hurts for him. This is outrageous. @TfL

@Jordan_WATP I’m so sorry to hear of your diagnosis Jordan. I understand what you are going through - I lost my son Daniel to brain cancer aged 17. We are in Glasgow. I hope you are offered treatment that has the best possible impact. Sending huge love and support your way 💛

Not one for getting too personal but thought a tweet would be easier than messaging everyone I speak too on here. Hard to find the “correct” words to put it across but October 15th after a stay in hospital I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Will start radiotherapy early November and will get the full diagnosis on the start date as they are still waiting for results to come back but treatment will be to maintain quality of life and to prolong life. Hopefully still be filling your feeds with nonsense for many years but we will see how it goes. Will keep the faith and no surrender💪”I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” - Philippians 4:13 ✝️❤️

Hamas has killed over a 100 Palestinian civilians in the last 72 hours. Some were shot or beaten to death with bricks and pipes, while others were beheaded. These are the barbarians that the left and Islamists have spent two years fawning over. God help the West.

@RichardBurgon You are a disgrace. Encouraging and supporting the utter scum that is the Hamas. Your hatred of the tiny Jewish state amongst so many huge Muslim ones is clear to see.

We won’t stop marching until the genocide ends. We won’t stop marching until the arms are no longer sold. We won’t stop marching until the war criminals face justice. We won’t stop marching until Palestine is free from occupation. Join us this Saturday.
