Labour: 'We're cutting disability benefits because we want to get more people into work.' Also Labour: 'We're cutting back the Access to Work scheme which helps support 50,000 disabled people to work.' Powerful, heartbreaking blog by Touretteshero: touretteshero.com/safe/2025/05/2…

Here are some things you can do to help convince the government to scrap plans to cut disability benefits Write to MP using our easy template: takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-… Sign petitions: takingthepip.co.uk/sign-the-petit… Keep posting using #TakingThePIP + show them we wont be ignored

Make it make sense! Do you want us to work, live supported lives or die? Sadly the message I am getting from Labour is they are happy to assist our deaths than our lives. I am ashamed I voted for Labour 💔 I am so sorry this is happening to you Touretteshero

Is EP OK? BBC Radio 2

What’s on stage, I hear you ask? My wife, that’s what! 🏳️‍🌈🥰🏳️‍⚧️ Come and see for yourself 13 June - 12 July Kiln Theatre whatsonstage.com/news/the-cast-…

If this particular #AssistedDying Bill is voted through, there will be a public inquiry into failings within 5-10 ys. I have therefore kept notes of all correspondence with Government & MPs, so that there can't be doubt abt what they did & did not know now &what they let through

currently at Kiln Theatre to see the Ministry of Lesbian Affairs and there is not a single straight person in sight i’m obsessed

The campaign group Dignity in Dying - who wrote and have done all the material for Kim's Bill - have spent £100k+ a year on Facebook ads for at least the last 8 years. £60k in just the last 3 months. Those representing vulnerable groups don't stand a chance of being heard.

I believe there are valid reasons to support the principle of assisted dying. I might choose it myself. But the vote on Friday is not about the principle, it’s about the workability - and safety - of the Terminally Ill Adults Bill. Let’s recap on what experts are saying… 🧵

🕣 Join us from 8:30am at Old Palace Yard on Friday 20th June. We must show up — loud, visible, united — to say: we are #NotDeadYet. Assist us to live, not to die. This bill is dangerous, society-shifting & will shorten disabled lives. 👉 Sign up: eventbrite.com/e/kill-the-bil…

Despite the treatment (or indeed non-treatment) of some older, ill & disabled people during covid, MPs are still contemplating legalising medically assisted suicide Here's a secular explanation of why many of us oppose giving Drs & the state this power: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Deep Disappointment as MPs Pass Assisted Dying Bill, Vowing Continued Fight in Lords Full press release here. notdeadyetuk.org/post/deep-disa…

🎃ImDoneWithYourAntiScienceShit⚡Not Cis🇮🇱💚🤍💜 latsot Assisted Dying has also long been Falconer Senior's dream. His own Bill was deemed unfit, so he has another bite at the cherry. In Better Off Dead, he tells Liz Carr to 'wait for after the General Election'. And that interview was filmed in 2023. It has long been planned...

It’s billed as a “heartwarming musical comedy”, but it’s not a musical (though it has great singing performance), nor purely a comedy (though it is incredibly funny as well as angry, romantic, sad…). ★★★★★ from me at Musical Theatre Review musicaltheatrereview.com/the-ministry-o…

Such a fantastic & special evening yesterday seeing this funny, sharp and poignant play about lesbianism, disability and LGBTQ+ rights. It sure packs a punch! Go go go!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Not only that, I got the joy of catching up with Liz "blue tick" Carr & jo church 😷, and meeting Simon Minty ❤️

Fuck me, my wife is STACKED! 😍 Liz "blue tick" Carr

Dan Hitchens And regardless of that, whilst 300 million sounds like a huge figure, in fact it's less than 5% of the world's population So yes, less than 5% of the world's population have access to medically assisted suicide - it really isn't as widespread or accepted as we're led to believe

In 2012 I met the president of Compassion & Choices - the USA version of Dignity in Dying She said that to legalise medically 'assisted suicide' you must 1st change the culture - including the language Assisted suicide is being rebranded as the more palatable 'assisted dying'

Dan Hitchens Of all the huge issues to be discussed eg ensuring a good death for ALL & not just those favouring assisted suicide, the 100,000 people a year dying in need of palliative care, the closure of hospices & lack of end of life care staff... ...some people prefer to talk about words?

Kathryn Mannix Wes Streeting Hi Kathryn Mannix Do you know if anyone is gathering information on how many hospice beds, how many palliative care staff we're losing around the UK? I keep hearing of hospices losing beds due to cuts but am wondering about the bigger picture?
