“* Strategic success depends on integration, not scale * Decapitation of enemy leadership… * Commercial drone swarms are part of the opening act, not an afterthought * Suppressing the ability to retaliate can be more valuable than destroying offensive assets”

“🇮🇱 military official…said 🇮🇱 air force had not targeted 🇮🇷 underground Fordow nuclear facility…but…that still might happen…🇮🇱 was taking precautions to avoid…a nuclear disaster.” Alas only way to ensure it never reopens may be radiation. thetimes.com/world/middle-e…

This change to the law is not backed by the general public nor by women in particular. Polling shows that 89% of the general population and 91% of women agree that gender-selective abortion should be explicitly banned by the law, and only 1% of women support introducing abortion

Drones could easily stop the boats from leaving France. UK law could be changed to expel them: Denmark manages fine. Instead we offer a taxi service to bring in illegal migrants, and then keep them here at a cost of many £bns. thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

Myth 2: death is typically horrific. “He died despite the best palliative care…” – I could cry each time I hear this. It is not true. Palliative specialists can explain how they would have manage difficult cases. Such scare stories had dreadful PC.

Mother & father of the House unite. Bill is manifestly deeply flawed. It would undermine our NHS, & cause immense damage to the weak & vulnerable. The case for it largely rests on scare stories & bad palliative care. Kill the bill, not the vulnerable. thetimes.com/comment/column…

With great respect to Demis Hassabis, AGI isn’t a sensible concept. There is a great deal more to intelligence than narrowly defined “cognitive tasks”. But in Silicon Valley it’s a great way to get money from gullible investors and politicians.  ft.com/content/d20e8c… via @ft

MPs, please take up this kind offer from a friendly, eloquent expert in palliative care. Please be informed before you take vulnerable lives into your hands at Friday's vote. Many doctors happy to do likewise, including me The Labour Party Sarah Coombes for West Bromwich @alexballi

Striking how much happier religious people are. And this red/blue understates the difference cos irreligious people are more likely to be “liberal”.

Whatever one thinks of the principle, this Bill is not fit for purpose. @RCPsych & Royal College of Physicians are opposed to this Bill, as are all Disability Rights groups. MPs should vote against to protect the vulnerable & preserve our NHS . thetimes.com/comment/the-ti…

#AssistedDyingBill should not pass as RC of Pathologists cite practical concerns Royal College of Psychiatrists warn it may include those with treatable mental illness and Royal College of Physicians fear patients may opt in due to inadequate care services

I follow evidence. Royal Colleges RC of Pathologists, @RCPsych & Royal College of Physicians and APM (Palliative Care), British Geriatrics Society (Geriatricians), Government Suicide adviser louis appleby & many more believe the #AssistedDyingBill is unsafe, should we not heed their expertise? #NotThisBill
