He’s right - I hope Labour MPs take what he says seriously

Shahin Abdolqaderi has been living with 300 shotgun pellets lodged in her head and face for over two and a half years, following injuries sustained during #Iran's 2022 #WomanLifeFreedom protests. iranwire.com/en/women/14013… #factchecking

I am an atheist. I think life is too precious to have its end legislated by MPs who disregard the concerns of disabled people, palliative care doctors, women who understand coercive control, too many organisations to fit into a post. What a frightening day.

Language is the essence of understanding our decisions. ‘Assisted dying’ is the service currently provided by palliative care, mostly provided by underfunded hospices, supported not by state but by charitable donations. Assisted suicide, state sanctioned killing is different.

Well-meaning but misguided progressives in the West have swallowed the Islamic Republic’s propaganda. Millions of Iranians would trade places with you in a heartbeat—while you defend their oppressors.

Watch: Hamas-affiliated and adjacent charities steal food and water from children in Gaza after filming them, pretending to be delivering aid and supplies, only to humiliate the starving children and take the food & water back after the filming is done. Evil personified.

Infant dedication is not equivalent to Baptism and does not incorporate into the Covenant. Infant dedication and Baptism are not equivalent options. Clergy who tolerate or encourage the view that Baptism should not be administered to infants are acting contrary to Article 27.

Difficult Answers, Easy Targets: Gaza’s Humanitarian Crisis Last night, I scrolled through the comments on a musician friend’s Instagram post. The post itself was simple, sincere—a plea for food to reach hungry civilians in Gaza. A plea I wholeheartedly believe in. What followed

One year ago today, on July 27, Hezbollah deliberately fired a missile at the Druze town of Majdal Shams. It hit a soccer field full of children playing on a peaceful Saturday afternoon. 12 children were murdered in cold blood, and 42 were injured. We will never forget them 💔

Today we join over 200 orgs to call for communities & the country to be brought together for a different way forward – one that's compassionate & united. This must be a turning point. #TogetherWithRefugees

Another refreshingly honest presser I know some of our support have lost their bottle already, and don’t believe we’ve got the right man at the helm But listen to him, he’s under no illusions, he’s told us from the start there’s going to be pain before it gets better Support

You could chose your leftism to be identified with A) Build tons of cool fast trains and airports and affordable homes or B) Use a lot of weird words no one understands and ABOLISH COPS and 'eating bananas is actually colonialism.' One of the above works

If you can't include the word "antisemitism" in your tweet about the murder of Jews in a synagogue on Yom Kippur, don't bother to tweet. Not interested, today, in any pleading guilty to a lesser offence. Antisemitic murder, caused by antisemitic discourse.

Staunch supporters of UK assisted dying bills will dismiss these findings, saying ‘our bill is nothing like Canada’s’ But it is really quite a lot like it. We need to think deeply about these risks, not sweep them under the carpet.

This is how the designation of Israel as genocidal, and then Jews as Nazis, leads to the removal of any protection that Jews might have thought they had against antisemitism.
