So proud of my wonderful year 11s. You did yourselves proud! #CHS #DreamBig #gcseresults

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results tomorrow! 🎉

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@norchcity Not in our school. Our school fill our year 11 time with a set project. Then we have to show/explain what we accomplished during cpd at the end of term.

@Xris32 That is crazy! 🤣

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@criminographer Thinking of you ❤️

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@criminographer Happy birthday Isabelle. Thinking of you on what just be an extraordinarily difficult day. ❤️

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@dave_mcpartlin I am thinking about going for an ADHD diagnosis myself and the more I research it the more I realise that my other symptoms were probably this. Can I ask - how long did the referral process take & did you start by talking to your GP?

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@Jenny_1884 I think you are crazy if you think 14 years of systemic degradation is surpassed by 6 months!

@marcuschown I'm sorry but only last year I witnessed my mum die in agony.She had trip neg breast cancer that has metastasised into skin cancer (boils, open lesions all over her front and back).The pall team could only say 'we don't know what else we can try'. Morphine didn't touch the sides.

@BiologyAwesome @kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight Again it is not a terminal diagnosis. The bill is for people with a diagnosed terminal illness who have approximately 6 or less months to live.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@BiologyAwesome @kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight Being old is not a terminal diagnosis! This bill isn't about looking at old people and saying there is a high chance you might die soon so we can help you commit suicide! I'm afraid you are making total hyperbolic comments that don't have a link to reality.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight The truth is that people who choose this will definitely die by the hands of their disease&are considered to be in the very late stages. Also 2 drs have to agree. I saw my mum die in agony in her last 3 weeks. The pall team had nothing else they could try to keep her comfortable.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@kennedy2324 @BBCNewsnight This bill is only for terminal ill patients who have been diagnosed as having 6 months or less to live. It is not an assisted dying scheme for the elderly.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@GlasgowPam The bill only applies to people who have a terminal diagnosis with less than 6 months to live. It has nothing to do with disabled people.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@BBCNewsnight Having watched my mum die & seeing how the cancer ravaged her skin and left her with painful open blisters and boils that left her in pieces (even with high doses of morphine). This type of experience really gives you a perspective. My mum shouldn't have had to die like that. 😥

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@SamanthaTaghoy Try watching someone you love more than anything die a slow agonising death because palliative drugs don't minimise their pain. Going through something like that really changes your perspective on things like this. No one should have to die like that.

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@yuanyi_z @polblonde How is this state suicide?It is not a system where you can just opt in if you want to commit suicide. These people have less than 6 months left to live. Some will get a peaceful end with the use of pall drugs, but drugs don't work for everyone. Their end will be agonising & slow

[Mrs A @HolgateMiss]

@polblonde The bill is only for people who have a terminal diagnosis and have less than 6 months left to live. My mum's last 3 weeks were spent in agony that morphine could not touch. People in this position should have the right to choose how they spend their last few weeks/months.

@sleeepysandy I can't respond to your tweet within X's word count limit, but here is my rebuttal and the reason why I passionately disagree based on my own personal circumstances.
