Some hard questions which the media have failed to ask Kim Leadbeater MBE MP:   1. You’ve said feeling like “a burden” could be a “legitimate” reason to ask for an assisted suicide. How common do you think it is for terminally ill people to feel like a burden?   2. If somebody asks for

The actual victims of #AssistedDyingBill will NOT be attractive influencers dancing around fabulous kitchens in silk pajamas. They will be poor, old, disabled and sick folk struggling with the rent - pushed over the brink by cuts in disability support, therapy and pain meds

To reassure us that this truly is the safest possible assisted suicide law... A very pro MP personally selected a committee with a majority of other pro MPs (14-9) To analyse the Bill in more detail they chose to interview a majority (80%) of pro assisted suicide witnesses Wow

Kim Leadbeater’s witness list was 80%-20% in favour of the bill’s supporters. 9 lawyers were invited (6 pro, 3 neutral), alongside 8 witnesses from other jurisdictions (all pro), academics, medics, etc. But who *didn’t* receive an invitation? Here’s an incomplete list:

If the Assisted Suicide Bill committee is stacked in favour of those who support legalising medically assisted suicide... ... my documentary #BetterOffDeath BBC One The Open University explains why me & many other disabled people oppose the law Please watch bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

A worryingly long list of issues in the Assisted Dying Bill identified in the written evidence None of these were touched on in oral evidence. And a non-expert Committee with no resources, no impact assessment, no consultation with experts, is meant to sort this out?

Approval by the High Court - the key safeguard used to sell the Assisted Suicide Bill to MPs - has been dropped. Instead we have a panel, NOT including a judge, of people committed to the process, sitting in private, without hearing arguments from the other side. A disgrace

The Sun comes out against Kim Leadbeater’s bill today:

It was such a joy to welcome my friend Gavin Calver to Highfields Church, Cardiff today and at our house for lunch. I look forward to more partnership in the gospel! Evangelical Alliance Wales Evangelical Alliance

From “two doctors and a high court judge” (as the strongest safeguards in the world) to no high court judge or actual doctor.

Kim Leadbeater keeps sharing this letter from pro-assisted-suicide lawyers. Here’s a strange thing: in November, 25 KCs signed a letter praising the original bill (they called it “a robust process involving two doctors and a judge”). Of those, just 11 signed the new one.

The Assisted Suicide Bill Committee has finished. My final speech here. This is not the Bill the public thought they were getting. It contradicts the NHS Act and the Hippocratic Oath. It's got worse, not better, in committee.

Good Friday. That Jesus died for us means that the God who breathed 2 trillion galaxies into existence, also looks at little old you and me and thinks ‘I will pay the highest price to be with them forever’. Whatever you think of yourself today, you matter. Will you respond..?

I don't normally comment on the news of the day, but the shooting of Charlie Kirk is so wicked and so grievous. It's sad to see my own kids affected. Like many Gen Zers, they love his videos. I'm grateful for the many times he clearly and cheerfully made much of Jesus Christ. If

You are welcomed to count the caskets - daily ritual for these Christians in Nigeria. Their only crime? Being Christians. I keep wondering how this industrial scale genocide went under the radar for so many years - way more than a decade. No mainstream media coverage. No
