The Assisted Dying Bill is not progressive. As I argue in the The Mirror, the cracks of inequality will become chasms in a world where an assisted death hangs over the most vulnerable - and they will fall through. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/โฆ

This #AssistedDyingBill is an awful piece of work, but I canโt really imagine a version that wouldnโt keep me awake at night. Iโve seen too many people who are sick, old, and expensive start to feel - and look - expendable. The law must have their protection as a first priority.

Our social security system should reflect the values of the Gospel: compassion, justice, and dignity. As the Bishop of Lichfield Diocese said, supporting those in need is a moral imperative. We can't let the fear of fraud justify treating the poorest with suspicion.


Investing in our activists, equipping them with the skills and tools they need to thrive, and giving them an added extra as part of their union membership. The very first UNISON East Midlands Organising Convention is happening this September. Get signed up๐
