🎉 Our Daily Express and Dignity in Dying petition with Dame Esther Rantzen has passed 200,000 signatures. Next stop Downing Street and then Westminster Hall!

According to at least 3 in 4 Scots? From all parts of the country? No matter their political views? With a majority of support in every single constituency and region?
YES.

A historic day for Scotland, for the many ppl who spent their final months pushing for change & for those who shared the most painful experiences of their lives to expose the urgent need for reform.
It also parks assisted dying firmly on Westminster’s doorstep. Time for debate.

This is bang on. Public opinion has not changed, we have backed assisted dying reform for years. In every single constituency in GB that support is present. What has changed is the mood in Parliament. Dame Esther is helping to ensure leaders & MPs are not let off the hook💪

Now nearing 140k & counting 💪
The Health Select Committee's inquiry uncovered staggering evidence of the failures of the current law. It's more important than ever that MPs are not let off the hook. Add your name, share, and show Parliament we will not stand for their inaction.

First Commons inquiry on assisted dying shifts prospect of reform from hypothetical to reality.
❤️Personal testimony shows banning choice unsafe, inadequate
🏥Palliative care can't relieve all suffering
🙅No evidence of slippery slope
❓UK law unclear
📣Gov must engage in debate

It was such an honour to know Wendy a little & support anna wharton with their latest book. She was such a trailblazer not only on changing perceptions about dementia but also on death, dying & choice. Clear, national guidance on the choice she made must be part of her legacy.

A historic victory. Members of the Isle of Man parliament have today voted for dignity, for choice, for compassion. They have listened to the public, including the dying people and bereaved relatives who know the horrors of the current law all too well.

Westminster, take note.

Honoured to march alongside 1000s today for the decriminalisation of abortion across the UK.

I *think* the lone dude outside the RCJ was saying something about us being murderers? But couldn’t quite hear him over the pro choice ROAR 🦁💅🏼💪
