@Tairmuir Thankyou to all those whose hard work produced and maintained this extraordinary botanical garden and ran the wonderful cafe
English
@Tairmuir As a post-grad distance learning student at Dundee Uni studying Healthcare law & Ethics a bonus was free entry to these beautiful gardens.
I never met any tutors for my course( didn't need to) but had this wonderful space to enjoy whilst my partner was in hospital many times.

Deeply saddened by today’s announcement that Dundee University’s Botanical Gardens will close. For generations, this beautiful space has been a place of learning, tranquillity, and connection with nature. A real loss for Dundee, its students, researchers, and artists.

@existentialgoof @PaulKohlerSW19 This isn't humane.
Don't kid yourself
English
@moselbucket99 @PaulKohlerSW19 The only reason that the intervention of the doctors is necessary is because our society has decided not to allow people the freedom to terminate their own lives in a reliable and humane way. In the assisted dying process, the patient voluntarily hands over control to the doctor.
English
As many MPs who voted for it privately conceded, the Assisted Dying Bill had many flaws.
I entirely agree with this letter & am bemused it’s being reintroduced unamended.
Although not religiously, nor philosophically, opposed to assisted dying I will not support this Bill.

@matthewfarrow19 @Edwina_Currie That was 3 different comprehensives for me, 2 different comprehensives for each of my siblings.
4 different state comprehensives in total.
3 in one city.
One in a southwest town.
English
@matthewfarrow19 @Edwina_Currie No.
Private schools are not always better.
My parents were both in Education as their work.
3 kids.
We all three went to state comprehensives in Scotland.
One Heart Surgeon, one Professor of Cancer surgery, one Professor of of Global health.
English
Well, Zarah, you didn’t go to a local comprehensive.
You went to a highly selective grammar school for girls.
And we all paid for that, too.
Zarah Sultana MP@zarahsultana
What’s wrong with the local comprehensive? If state schools are good enough for everyone else, why not the future king? Meanwhile, we’re expected to keep footing the bill. One rule for them. Another for us. Abolish the monarchy.
English
@Workinp36616120 @Edwina_Currie As a comprehensive school educated Heart surgeon I fully applaud Zarah's stance on objecting to the Genocide in Gaza
English
@Edwina_Currie What a waste of an education. Sultana's place could have been given to someone more deserving who would have made better use of it instead of becoming a hateful communist.
English
@AnnDrogyne @Edwina_Currie ' frees up a space?'
The state are obliged to educate children however many children there are.
Not everyone wants to send their children to a private school anyway.
English
@Edwina_Currie Always the same. If you have money to send your child to a private school, do it. That frees up a space in a comprehensive for a family that cannot afford private education.

@Ectobass @PaulKohlerSW19 @RightToLifeUK Sadly this is a major conflict of interest.
It will do long lasting harm.
I have removed myself from my organs being used after the recent death of a European girl who wanted more time to consider but was pressurised as her organs were pre allocated.
English
@PaulKohlerSW19 @RightToLifeUK It has absolutely nothing to do with compassion.

@existentialgoof @PaulKohlerSW19 Yet you think the doctors you expect to kill these people( and be enforced to do so)won't have control over people's bodies?
How illogical your stance is.
English
@PaulKohlerSW19 What a profoundly illiberal man you are, wanting to have control over people's bodies in this way.
English
@dtaylor5633 That's truly vile.
Glad to see the flat working out.
English
@softlynia_ Sacrificing as a caregiver is the most difficult thing to do. So, stressful that often the carer dies before the one being cared for. You give up all you have. Often, with no one else taking a turn. Of course, we expect someone will notice, say thank you, care what we give up
English
When my mum died she left everything equally to me and my two brothers. A third each. Clean, simple, no room for argument. The solicitor said she had been very clear about it. I nodded and signed my name and drove home.
Three years before that I had left my job as a practice manager earning £38,000 a year to move back into the house I grew up in and care for her full time. I gave up my flat, my routine, my income, and most of my thirties.
My oldest brother lived forty minutes away and visited on alternate Sundays when it suited him. My younger brother lived in Edinburgh and came at Christmas and once in the summer.
They both sent flowers on her birthday. They both cried beautifully at the funeral.
Nobody suggested the split should reflect any of that. Not the solicitor. Not my brothers. Not a single person who knew the full picture said out loud what the numbers actually meant.
And I did not suggest it either, because she was my mother and I did not do it for the money and saying so felt like reducing three years of her life to a transaction.

Anyone interested in a private flight for 5 to Boston with us for Scotland’s next game against Morocco Friday? Looking for 3 folk. DM me. Leaving Glasgow, 9am Friday, watch the game & head home next morning. Preferably someone with a private jet & tickets, otherwise we can't go.

@SarahOC_MECFS Did they rule out encephalitis?.
Seems more of it about related to COVID
English
My Dad has had unexplained severe fatigue,flu-like symptoms & VERY severe cognitive impairment(dementia ruled out) since Covid in '22
Finally getting him to go to a post infectious illness doctor.
I'll say it again-the underdiagnosis of #LongCovid in OLDER people is a BIG ISSUE!
English
@GinabeanartGina Why should doctors carry out the choice for people who want to be killed?
And be enforced to do so.
Why?
This is entirely alien to medicine.
English
Stop spreading the lie that palliative care always works for everyone, it doesn’t, there should be choice
Tim Farron@timfarron
It beggars belief that we’re back here again despite all the evidence. If we care about vulnerable people and if we care about being evidence led, we will reject this outright at 2nd reading, put an end to this nonsense and fix palliative care instead.

@LostTransport @nmdacosta Really you must not have read properly non are opposed.
UK one has the most restrictions and more safeguards than any other that has ever been proposed.
Show me an example of propaganda from the pro side?
Just FYI Ive been campaigning since I was 16 for the choice.

If Lauren Edwards cared about people not being pushed into an assisted death, she’d be addressing concerns of Royal Colleges, Equality and Human Rights Commission, and the Delegated Powers Committee. But she’s not it’s the identical bill, and her position is no amendments.
Philip Murray@philipmurraylaw
Already something very fishy about Lauren Edwards’ assisted suicide Bill. Edwards says she doesn’t think the Bill should be enacted through the Parliament Acts, yet is insisting exactly the same Bill be passed by the Commons as last time, refusing even to incorporate Lord Falconer’s 70+ amendments from the last session. There can only be one reason for this: the Parliament Acts require the same Bill to be passed by the Commons in two sessions. I’ve no doubt that Edwards will continue to present her Bill simply as an opportunity for the Commons to ask the Lords to “finish the job”, but the idea that the Bill won’t end up on the statute book if the Commons passes it again is, frankly, disingenuous.

@tjwb_1 @KarlTurnerMP Didn't harm Princess Catherine of Wales's life did it?
Rural school perhaps has produced the most notable member of the younger generation of Royals.
English
@KarlTurnerMP He can’t go to Marlborough Karl
because in the circles they move in
it’s a “rural school“
It’s not Eton, Harrow, or Winchester.
Kate knows the difference
🤣

Well that will keep him in the real world.

@sarah_wootton @allinson_alex When someone says assisted dying bill all I can see is this Nazi Germany 1939 Euthanasia Program and Aktion T4 | Holocaust Encyclopedia PLEASE READ share.google/RO6WmEmBJ4N3KU…

@sarah_wootton Yet of the other Celtic nations Scotland voted it out.
Odd to want to kill your own people, s minority group like the Celts.

The Isle of Man was the first jurisdiction across the UK and Crown Dependencies to legalise assisted dying in March 2025, and has since been joined by Jersey in February 2026.

🚨BREAKING 🚨The Isle of Man has today taken its final legislative step towards securing Royal Assent for @allinson_alex Assisted Dying Bill, after Tynwald voted 16 v 6 for all remaining amendments.
