@BBCBreakfast I can’t adequately express my disappointment and worry. What have they done? Callous bastards.

Members of the Scottish Parliament have rejected a proposal to make Scotland the first part of the UK to legalise assisted dying. Following an emotionally-charged final debate, the bill was defeated by 69 votes to 57 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@PeterStefanovi2 He’s worried about splitting his party when there are terminally ill people suffering? As usual he doesn’t give a fuck about us peasants.

Senior ministers believe Keir Starmer will not intervene to give the assisted dying bill further time in the next session of parliament as he is wary of opening up new divisions among Labour MPs theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

“Although I’m a great believer in hospice care, sadly there are limits to what palliative care can achieve.” Hospice CEO Mark Jarman-Howe supports assisted dying because ‘it will make things safer, better and more compassionate for patients and families’ at the end of life.

@BBCScotlandNews I’m sorry but Anna is referring to disabled people who are not terminally ill. There is a BLOODY BIG difference.

MSPs are preparing for one of the most significant votes of this Holyrood parliamentary term, whether to legalise assisted dying in Scotland for terminally-ill adults. Read more ➡️ bbc.in/4bnnNn9

@ollyp3 @STVNews @ACampbe36885200 Shut up you moron and try exercising your brain in empathy.

@STVNews @ACampbe36885200 Thanks be to God! This lacked safeguarding and clarity and could have led us down a dark path where the cost of life is assessed against cost of death for vulnerable.

MSPs have voted against a Bill that would have legalised assisted dying in Scotland following an emotionally charged debate at Holyrood. i.stv.tv/4bgoCj1

@Islandcroft @Orishman1 @STVNews Do you believe that people should have autonomy over their bodies when they are dying? You’re denying them that. It’s a much kinder end than what some experience. Have a little empathy.

@Orishman1 @STVNews Assisted suicide is not the painless dignified death , many people take hours and days to die , paralysed by medication they can vomit , have seizures , have increased pain & distress I wouldn’t wish that for anyone

@BigTree66717133 @STVNews Fuck you. You have no idea.

@STVNews The right result. Assisted end of life living...better than assisted dying.

@STVNews Thereby driving the terminally ill to take matters into their own hands or criminalise family members for supporting their loved ones wish to die with peace & dignity. Yes, improve palliative care but denying the right to choose one’s imminent death is abhorrent and regressive

@JeremyRBalfour did you vote against the assisted dying bill based on disabled people feeling the pressure to end their lives? My understanding is it was for the terminally ill, NOT the disabled. You’ve let us down and pushed countless people to take matters into their own hands.

@RupertLowe10 Is a nurse low-skilled?

I am so utterly fed up of this constant lie that Britain is absolutely reliant on low-skilled immigration to keep our country dragging along. That is just not true. It's boring and it's wrong. Let’s take the NHS. We’re always told how its built on immigration. Total nonsense. Reason number one - if we trained our own people, there would be no need to import foreign professionals through such vast numbers. We deliberately block British boys and girls from training medicine, then ship in staff from the third world. And let’s be clear. Their training is often not good enough. Their language is often not good enough. Their attitude is often not good enough. That’s just a fact. The NHS needs translators, but not for the patients - it’s the sodding staff half the time. So we have some of the brightest young British men and women unable to train through our own decisions, and we replace them with migrants who are all too often not up to the job. Great work, everyone. What a result that is. Even British medics who have been trained can’t get work. Those roles are being filled by imported Nigerians. It all just sounds too ludicrous to be true. It is very much absolutely true. Then these pro-immigration hide behind the fact that they bumped into a foreign receptionist in a hospital. It is absolutely nothing personal against these specific individuals, I don’t blame them. I blame our rotten politicians. I’m sure that receptionist is a possibly a nice lady, but she shouldn’t be here. We have millions of healthy Brits on benefits doing nothing. The answer is quite simple - GET THEM WORKING. There is also the moral argument of taking these individuals away from their own countries, but I am uninterested in that. But let’s just park all that for one moment. Why is demand so high in our hospitals? Go and sit in a hospital waiting room in London, Birmingham, Manchester - pretty much anywhere in Britain other than leafy Surrey. It’s packed full of foreigners. They have every need catered to them. Don’t speak English? Great. We’ll fund the translator. Hundreds of millions are spent on this. It is, and I don’t apologise for my language here, a total piss-take. All whilst taxpaying British men and women are unable to see their GP, get a scan or receive timely treatment. I have no issue with bringing in the odd brain surgeon or oncologist. Great, let’s do that until we can train our own. But to suggest that Britain’s health service is so indebted to immigration is total bullshit and we should call it out for the reasons stated above.

@RuthDevlin @unherd Took the words right out of my mouth

@unherd You know who’s not allowed to hate parenthood? Women.

"Before I had children, I was horrified by the prevalence of fathers who walk out on their families. Today, I am no longer confused by the phenomenon."

Not a single Reform Mp is at the House of Commons for the Jeffrey Epstein debate.

Hey @wesstreeting if you’re planning to improve cancer outcomes I’m afraid you’ll have to dig deep and invest in the NHS and research. That doesn’t come cheap. Are you willing to put your (our) money where your mouth is? Regards, A cancer patient

Happier days..

Just heard news from pro Palestine activists that they’ve ended hunger strike in the context of the Government denying contract to Elbit. They’ve also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions. I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers.

@ProudSocialist It feels like hope in a desperate time

The Black Panthers have re-entered the chat! The Panthers are a revolutionary socialist group that fed & protected the community. They were such a threat to the dictatorship of capital they were falsely labeled “terrorists.” Their reemergence is necessary.

Fuck, yes! This young woman is amazing. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
