Tomorrow I will be voting against the Assisted Dying Bill. You can read my reasons why here: dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

The SNP's Marie McNair, a former hospice nurse, will be voting against the Assisted Dying Bill: "I believe that passing this Bill will send a message that certain individuals lives are less valuable than others, and that those individuals are considered a burden on society."

A massive congratulations to our newest MSP, Davy Russell! The road to a new direction for Scotland in 2026 with Anas Sarwar as First Minister begins here.

What an incredible victory for Davy Russell MSP and Scottish Labour last night. The message is clear - people are tired of SNP failure, have rejected Reform’s poison and are ready for a new direction with a Scottish Labour government.

I’ve enormous respect for my colleague, Kim, and thought carefully about tweeting. BUT we must be clear: In the Bill before Parliament, the legal right to kill themselves wouldn’t have been extended to the couple mentioned in this article. Its a very slippery slope..

V disappointing to see MPs vote for the assisted dying bill at third reading. Shows a failure to take the risks it poses to vulnerable people seriously. A wafer thin majority for a piece of legislation that could see people wrongly assisted to kill themselves by the state though.

One thing I have learnt from some years in politics, victory or defeat are rarely final. So you keep on fighting.

Absolutely correct. Assisted dying legislation isn’t compassionate nor is it progressive, it puts our most vulnerable and marginalised at risk. The fight to stop this dangerous legislation isn’t over.
