People worried about assisted death services should sign this. People who strongly desire assisted death services should also sign this. Everybody should sign this.

@thesilkmen What a result!

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@ilcopestick @dank_ackroyd Can't even give your kids a disco biscuit these days. Etc.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@ilcopestick @dank_ackroyd Yeah, same - and my kids loved a Disco Biscuit!

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@ilcopestick @dank_ackroyd Yes, they definitely did!

@TerryGalloway Fab work Terry and team! 🙌

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@MenAtWork_MC Absolutely, it made me go cold when I read about it the next day.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@MenAtWork_MC Jimmy's, not the LGI.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@MenAtWork_MC What an incredible guy. So patient, so focussed and determined. My dad and stepmum were in the LGI, at the time, so I'm especially impressed.

@RebekahPierre92 Thanks Rebekah, what a useful piece. I will share with my care experienced team at work, some of who are considering speaking publicly about their experiences. The boundaries bit is especially helpful.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@TransChicken2 @CheshireEast @HJB_News__ There are occasional refugee CE care leavers, but they are a tiny %, the vast majority are British born. Your and my views on how they should be treated might differ, but the maths is correct. FOI it if you don't believe, but your accusation is baseless and unhelpful.

@mcdonnelljp Lived in a village outside York as a teen and exactly the same, and later worked in one I'm sorry my kids don't have this, the eldest and his mates were was taking ket, etc in the park instead of drinking illegally but safely in a pub. This doesn't feel like progress to me.

We are witnessing one of the biggest feminist revolutions in history, and for some reason, Western feminists are completely silent.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@BradfemlyWalsh Well done for persisting! I had one 4 years ago. It was awful, no pain relief offered, didn't know that was a thing, but it definitely should be. Also a male Dr waltzed in and did it instead of the woman without consultation.
You fight like you always do, it's inspiring.🙌

@thesundaysport That petrol station Asda outside Sandbach is absolutely excellent.

[Helena Smith @HelenaBotanica]

@FondOfBeetles Donated Emma because you're so right. And also funny. Thank you. X
