🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿BREAKING: VICTORY IN SCOTLAND! In a triumph for hope over despair, life over death & support over suicide, the Scottish Parliament has voted AGAINST assisted suicide. MSPs have settled the issue for a generation & dealt a mortal blow to assisted suicide in Westminster.🧵1/

Nobody thinks this bill is safe. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Not the First Minister. Not the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Not Disability groups. Not doctors. No one thinks it’s a good idea to let the NHS kill patients. 💉👇

Breaking! Scots want MSPs to prioritise improving access to care for disabled people before considering assisted dying. MSPs need to stop, listen, and reflect carefully on the voices of those who will be most affected by Liam McArthur’s Bill.

New polling from Not Dead Yet UK shows nearly 7 in 10 (69%) of Scots agree that the Scottish Parliament should prioritise improving access to care for disabled people before considering whether to introduce assisted suicide. notdeadyetuk.org/post/new-polli…

The world has entered a volatile phase. Stormy seas lie ahead. India’s oil supplies are under threat, with more than 40% of our imports transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The situation is even worse for LPG and LNG. The conflict has reached our backyard, with an Iranian warship sunk in the Indian Ocean. Yet the Prime Minister has said nothing. At a moment like this, we need a steady hand at the wheel. Instead, India has a compromised PM who has surrendered our strategic autonomy.

A neta displaying shocking ignorance!!! Says Kerala’s infant mortality rate is low because young people migrate and so fewer babies are born🙄😱

The escalating conflict in the West Asia, fueled by the aggressive actions of the imperialist US-Israel axis against Iran, is a grave threat to global peace. The attack on the Iranian vessel 'Iris Dena' - our guest during the recent naval exercise- is an affront to international norms. The Union Govt’s submissive stance and departure from our legacy of Non-Alignment is deeply concerning. We must prioritise the safety of millions of Indian expats and demand an immediate end to this imperialist aggression. Democratic forces should unite to demand the restoration of peace in the region. #WestAsia #Peace #IndianOcean #IndianDiaspora #Middleeast

This war has made it clear to us- if that was needed- that we are almost completely irrelevant to American plans. They will do what they please, even in our backwaters and we will just have to listen because we’ve given up all pretence of an independent foreign policy

Oh shame on us

Mitchell and Webb’s take on assisted dying

The War between the Indian software engineers and the Election Commission is began now. The ECI upload whatever any non-readable PDF, The patriotic Indian will convert this into soft data & expose them💪. @RahulGandhi thank you for this Atom Bomb-Voter scam exposing 🔥

This is not about Rahul Gandhi Vs Narendra Modi. This is not about Congress Vs BJP. This is not about Opposition Vs Government either. This is about 𝐘𝐎𝐔. This is about 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 existence. This is about 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 most powerful right in our democracy - the 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄. •“𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞” is the foundation of our Constitution •A 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 is the foundation of a free and fair election •People of India have the 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 to a voter list with no duplicates, fake addresses, or bogus details •Our demand before the Election Commission: provide 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 for public audit •This campaign is not about BJP, Modi, or Rahul Gandhi - it’s about protecting the 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 You must not remain a mute spectator - if our elections are compromised - then there will be nothing left of our democracy. 🇮🇳 🇮🇳

This was the challenge. We had seven feet of paper, and we had to sort through every single one. Suppose I wanted to find out if someone had voted twice or if their name occurred twice in the voter list; I would have to compare their picture to every single photo in every single sheet. That's the process, and it's very tedious. 👉 When we faced this, we realised why the Election Commission doesn't give us electronic data - they don't want us to scrutinize it carefully. 👉 This task took us six months, with 30-40 people working non-stop, comparing names, addresses, and pictures. And this was just for one assembly constituency. 👉 If the Election Commission had given us electronic data, it would have taken only 30 seconds. This is why we're being given data in this format - so that it isn't analyzed. 👉 These papers themselves don't allow for optical character recognition; if you scan them, you can't extract the data. The EC deliberately provides non-machine-readable papers, which we found strange. : LoP Shri @RahulGandhi #RahulExposesVoteChori

The NIA charged an 84 year old man, but forensics now show that evidence was planted on a priest. It doesn’t matter whether the priest was Hindu, Christian, Muslim or Sikh. An 84 year old who wasn’t given a straw. Remembering Fr Stan Swamy on his death anniv July 5. In Parliament

314 MPs should be bitterly ashamed of themselves today. Passing the #AssistedDyingBill, which presents such a clear danger to disabled and vulnerable people, and is medically considered to be unsound, is a shocking dereliction of their duty to their constituents.

To support a law when so many professional organisations say is deeply flawed - and then expect those professional organisations to enact it- is reckless beyond belief.

We must ensure any #assisteddyingbill supports & protects those who want assisted dying and their loved ones AND those who it will shift a new risk to Along w ⁦@rcpsych⁩ ⁦@RCPhysicians⁩⁩ I don’t think this Bill does ⁦⁦@BBCNews⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I follow evidence. Royal Colleges @RCPath, @RCPsych & @RCPhysicians and @APMPostTweets (Palliative Care), @GeriSoc (Geriatricians), Government Suicide adviser @ProfLAppleby & many more believe the #AssistedDyingBill is unsafe, should we not heed their expertise? #NotThisBill

#AssistedDyingBill should not pass as @RCPath cite practical concerns @rcpsych warn it may include those with treatable mental illness and @RCPhysicians fear patients may opt in due to inadequate care services

Thank you @AshleyDalton_MP for sharing your position on #AssistedDyingBill Safeguards against coercion are inadequate Fears people may feel pressured due to care costs or lack of end-of-life support Psychiatric assessment amendment was rejected
