Today I sent an open letter to MSPs, asking them to advocate on behalf of disabled people and vote against the Assisted Suicide Bill.
The bill does not protect against numerous factors. It should not be easier to get support to die than to live.
I call on all MSPs to oppose it.
@FTLP_FTT PIP is not about relieving poverty per se it’s a non means tested benefit that helps with the additional cost of disability. People in employment will still be entitled to PIP if eligible. @elliereeves great to support disabled people to work terrible to deny them PIP.

Today's apology from the Prime Minister is an important step in addressing the historic injustices and harm inflicted upon LGBTQ+ veterans.
