By the beginning of May, assisted suicide will have been rejected by Scotland, England and Wales. The issue has decisively been settled: Britain does not want assisted suicide legislation. My latest for @TheCriticMag: thecritic.co.uk/assisted-suici…

@sergio75035352 @TheCriticMag They voted against a motion calling for assisted suicide at the end of 2024. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag Wales hasn’t rejected. They haven’t had a say

@JasonD60 @TheCriticMag Bold of an assisted suicide supporter to claim to understand what capacity means all of a sudden

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag If you think my point was merely "nitpicking" then clearly you have very little capacity to understand politics.

@JasonD60 @TheCriticMag Not going to be nitpicked on language by someone who calls it “assisted dying”

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag Running a bill out of time isn't "rejection", that would require a vote.

@GuidoFawkes Excellent for them, Sam is great

@Davlin781871 @fugitiveink I’ve never actually been to the top! Bad luck to do it before you graduate, and i graduated during covid so they closed it

@fugitiveink @AdamPollock Remember climbing to the top of the tower on Durham it was a good challenge and a marvellous vista to behold once achieved.

Proper dinner tonight None of that foreign muck

@CharlesTannock @TheCriticMag It’s a real worry, and yet another reason why it shouldn’t be legalised.

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag It will be horrible if people come from Scotland to English private clinics to be euthanised!

@Angus_Kincaid Mega bosh

@AdamPollock Houses of Parliament Sauce = Patriot

@skulthorp A timely reminder that the hereditary god-emperor of ethiopia lives in a council estate in the Isle of Dogs

@ToniaAntoniazzi Women are terrified of monstrous legislators like you

Absolutely delighted that last night Noble Lords stood up for what is right for women & defeated attempts to rollback their reproductive rights. They also secured pardons for all women who have police records from being investigated for this offence 🧵👇 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@martyep74 @TheCriticMag Indeed

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag Great, but kill your own baby and you don't get prosecuted, something seriously twisted within parliament.

@Peter88902568 @TheCriticMag Top marks

@AdamPollock @TheCriticMag Excellent.

@antoniabance Just not true though is it?

Childcare costs have halved Saving families *£8k* per year Thanks to this Labour government

@fugitiveink Yes!! So lovely

@AdamPollock Enviable Durham (?) Cathedral mug there — I didn't realise that Matthew Rice had designed a cathedral mug! Absolutely gorgeous.

The Scottish Parliament arrived at the right decision on assisted dying. Westminster should do the same, argues @AdamPollock thecritic.co.uk/assisted-suici…

@TylerDurden Can’t beat Emma Bridgewater

@AdamPollock Great cups

@timothy_stanley @_paullay Or, if you really dislike hereditary peerages, you can become an unofficial hereditary peer through the virtue of being the child of another life peer, like Baroness Jay, for example.

@_paullay You can also collect points towards a peerage by donating money to the party of your choice.

‘Earned through public service and merit.’ If you say so.

@StepoKedur @roseveniceallan They don’t actually believe what they say btw, they’re just lying

@AdamPollock @roseveniceallan I can’t even…how can one begin to explain that TWO PEOPLE ARE TWO PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF AGE? Each human deserving of life.

Nobody should be criminalised for doing something to their own body. Even in tragic circumstances when a woman is heavily pregnant, her body belongs to her, not her unborn baby or the state. Late term DIY abortions are traumatic and any woman choosing that needs help, not prison.
