Excellent by Catriona Olding on the need for greater nationwide standards of #palliativecare, as well as improved training for NHS staff. With 170k patients dying in treatable pain each year, this is something the Govt can and must fix https://t.co/VqjG66gj0R

@AshleyDalton_MP Here's a charming old tweet from #LaurenEdwards. Her use of a highly offensive #disability slur shows that she has only contempt for #disabled people. No wonder she's trying to bring back the deeply flawed & dangerous #AssistedDyingBill! #AktionT4

—Rupa Huq: “Last thing we need”
—Adam Jogee: “Insane stuff”
—Emma Lewell: “Absolutely dismayed… A deeply flawed and dangerous bill”
—David Smith: “Very sad news indeed… I can’t think of a more divisive issue”
—Kirsteen Sullivan: “I cannot believe we are back here again. With no humility about the concerns raised previously”

I don’t believe it. Not Our Andy! Surely not.

He tries again: "I've been stabbed"
Someone, I presume, the murderer, cuts in: "He hasn't been stabbed"
"I know, but we have to check" says the clipboard-voiced woman officer

The kneejerk "I know" is so telling. Her instinct is just to agree the dying boy on the ground is lying

Setting aside that Andy Burnham's new logo is a bit Che Guevara meets Wolfie Smith, let's-party-like-it's-the-1970s in the Makerfield Popular Front, if this were a Conservative candidate promoting the old torch of freedom and ‘keep the faith’ (of Thatcherism), they'd be sacked.
