I have long supported the principle of assisted dying but the Leadbetter Bill has convinced me otherwise. At the moment of peak scrutiny, the disregard for expert concerns over critical details by its proponents augers very, very ill for any sort of practical implementation.

India is blocking the release of ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab’ about a 5 year-old Palestinian girl killed by the israelis because it might upset Tel Aviv middleeasteye.net/news/india-ban…

UK 🇬🇧 tonight ‘approves’ the use of 🇬🇧 bases for 🇺🇸 to launch strikes on Iranian 🇮🇷 sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz
 The facade of ‘defensive strikes’ is a lie Starmer has taken 🇬🇧 into an illegal war No debate No Parliament vote Party to an illegal war Again Shameful.

The Israeli military has been deploying in Lebanon the techniques of healthcare destruction it developed in Gaza. In less than three weeks, 128 medical facilities and ambulances bombarded, 40 healthcare workers killed and 107 wounded. Medicide.

Keep Palantir out of the NHS! RT if you agree!

It's to Alan Bennett's credit that he has refused all honours including, it is said, a knighthood. He also supported Corbyn as Labour Leader, saying in 2015 ""I approve of him. If only because it brings Labour back to what they ought to be thinking about." #r4today

Bait & switch on Assisted Dying. 1: get it through the Commons by saying don’t worry about the details, the Lords will scrutinise it; and 2: shrill protests that Lords are “holding it up,” causing a “constitutional crisis” when they give the scrutiny you promised.

.@kimleadbeater We get that you are terrified of becoming #disabled & dependent on others for personal care BUT those of us already in that position would like you to stop telling us that our lives aren't worth living. Your fear has made you into a #eugenicist. #AssistedDyingBill

"Gauthier, who has been trying to get a wheelchair ramp installed at her home for the past five years, testified on Thursday that a caseworker told her that they could give her assisted dying, even offering to supply the MAID equipment for her." ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

If the so-called international community—led by the West—had cared even a little about Palestinian lives, Israel would’ve been stopped a long time ago. The disaster that is now impacting people across the region and globe is the result of giving a genocidal state total impunity.

Brazil’s President Lula slams Trump: “We can’t have someone thinking he’s the owner of the world and wakes up in the morning: I'll take Greenland I'll take the Panama Canal I'll take Cuba I'll take Venezuela I’ll bomb Iran Countries have sovereignty. And it must be respected.”

Blocking the strait of Hormuz is unfair, But blocking the Rafah crossing for years, preventing the entry of food and humanitarian aid for poor people of Gaza was totally fair. Let that sink in.

If you see this video, put a dot to break the algorithm.

Euthanasia is routinely offered to Canadian seniors unsolicited. Muriel says she was offered MAID: •By her family doctor •By a specialist •By a funeral home  “This is almost being advertised and promoted,” she told me. How do you think this makes seniors feel?

Impossible to overstate the importance of Jenni Murray to the movement of women that changed our politics, economy & our society; that changed our lives. She was the broadcasting wing of the women’s movement. We all owe her. RIP. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Bobby Sands famously said: “Our [🇮🇪] revenge will be the laughter of our children” In amongst the rubble Despite the slaughter Regardless of despair The children of Gaza 🇵🇸 celebrate Eid Truly inspirational.

The Scottish assisted suicide bill is defeated! 57 to 69. This is a great day for human dignity in Scotland but also everywhere in the world.
