Further, supporters’ behaviour provides an argument against introducing such a law at all. The public has not been adequately consulted. Is society, in light of human behaviour, capable of introducing and maintaining such a law in a manner which provides net overall benefit? 2/2

If I had a position on the principle of assisted suicide, and I was a supporter, I’d be cross with the bill’s supporters for squandering the chance to change the law, by presenting a wholly inadequate bill and remaining intransigent to reforming it 1/2

Baroness Finlay reiterates that assisted suicide is not a medical treatment, and the substances to be used would be, essentially, poisons. It is time to stop the doublespeak regarding assisted suicide.

This is why no one trusts Wes Streeting. He tells his friend Peter Mandelson in private Israel have committed war crimes, while in public making divisive dog whistling comments about people who have the courage to stand against those war crimes. middleeasteye.net/news/wes-stree…

@LordWeirDUP @RightToLifeUK Other issues: Partner asks woman to have an abortion. She kills him for it. Does she commit an offence? Woman kills the doctor trying to give her an abortion. Does she commit an offence? Our Glorious Legislators, the ones who voted for this clause, have all the answers.

Proud to join with so many colleagues from different parties and none from both Houses, to sign this letter expressing our concerns over the proposed changes to the law which will effectively decriminalise abortion up to birth.

@owenjonesjourno How the "negotiations" between the US and Iran are going

Donald Trump is lying about negotiations with Iran. What should concern us is that it's all cover for a US ground invasion of Iran. An escalating catastrophe.

We’ve reached the point where a Corgi provides more inspiration and better leadership than the heads of state of most Western countries

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says the alliance “cannot confirm” Israel’s claim that missiles targeting Diego Garcia were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/chlkxg

❗️BREAKING❗️Israel will continue to ethnically cleanse Palestine by whatever means - bombs, hunger, terror - whatever the cost and whatever the crimes, until it is forced to stop. #EndGenocide #EndOccupation #EndApartheid

“There is no electricity, no food, no oil, no fuel.” Over 10 million people in Cuba are without power as U.S.-imposed fuel shortages bring much of the island under total darkness.

@WhiteHouse Not content with killing 175 primary school girls, staff & rescuers, the US will ensure all citizens of Iran have no hospital life support, water sanitation, refrigeration for medicines etc. A war crime, for the world to hold to account. SoH closure is a problem of US making.

🚨 “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST…” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

There’s a deep irony in watching the United Stated and Israel break every tenet of International Law with Western support and then see the same bunch of Western criminals try and use that same doctrine against Iran. It’s just a shame our media is too corrupt to mention this.

Read this carefully: Under UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, the closest provision is Article 3(f). It states that aggression includes: “the action of a State in allowing its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State, to be used by that other State for perpetrating an act of aggression against a third State.” In practical terms, this means that if a state knowingly allows its territory, bases, or infrastructure to be used by another state to carry out attacks, it can itself be considered as committing an act of aggression.

So Kim Leadbeater is saying the House of Lords requested assistance to end its own life? Committed suicide, in other words? The level of irony is matched only by how wrong she is in persisting with such an inadequate bill

@PaulEmbery I expect this is a false signal of retreat, to create a false sense of security; rather, it’s an indication that the US will soon carry out a ground invasion of Kharg Island. In the same way that the US pretending to peacefully negotiate signified imminent military action / war.

Jesus wept. Started a crazy war. Watched it unravel. Now signals a retreat and insists that other countries - who rightly wanted no part of it in the first place - go in and clear up the mess he created. What an appalling president. What a shameful episode.

BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.

@BRICSinfo Perhaps we could go and help defend Iran against US and Israeli aggression

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇬🇧 Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi slams UK Prime Minister Starmer "Vast majority of the British People do not want any part in the Israel-US war of choice on Iran. Ignoring his own People, Mr. Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will exercise its right to self-defense."

@JamesMelville You mean Keirea Starmtrooper?

Starmer looked like he was showing a bit of backbone by staying out of the war, but he’s a weak man who has capitulated to the bullying of Trump. He has just ensured that the UK is involved in this shitshow of a war by proxy.

Ronnie O’Sullivan has just made a breaking 153 in the opening frame of his #WorldOpen match. Mindblowing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
