Jeremy Corbyn is right. Veggie. Reader. Draws a bit. Means well. Usually.

@BBCPolitics Finish the job is very unfortunate terminology but at least let's us know how they're thinking

[The Fraud @StarmertheFraud]

Your reminder today, as no one will report it, that the leading children's protection charity in the UK, NSPCC, opposes a blanket ban on social media, along with many other children's safety groups.

This is what they've said:

"But for countless children, especially those who feel shut out or unheard offline, social media isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline – a source of community, identity, and vital support.

“A blanket ban would take those spaces away overnight and risks driving teenagers into darker, unregulated corners of the internet. Everyone involved in this debate will have the best interests of children at heart, but children’s fundamental right to participate safely in the digital world, to access information, to connect with peers, and to have their voices heard must be protected. They should not be stripped of those rights because tech companies have repeatedly failed to build platforms that protect them."

So a deeply dangerous bill that intends to remove safeguards once it’s through the door is being forced AGAIN and refuses to ensure safeguarding.
Anyone who gives a damn about people being able to make a decision on AD without coercion being a factor, will oppose this bill.
Unfortunately, many will still back this bill because it’s the cheaper solution.

They would rather let you, your loved ones suffer to the point of asking for AD rather than fund proper palliative care. That’s already coercion. It’s also cheaper to people being on benefits. In a country that let a mass disabling virus let rip - this is a cost saving bill.

But we knew this was the agenda since the committee stage when we first heard them vote away safeguards for non terminal disabilities. No one needs AD for autism, Down’s syndrome, anorexia or diabetes. But that’s what they voted on. Any safeguards in place to get this bill through the door is smoke and mirrors to allow state sanctioned death via the back door.
It must fail. This bill is completely unsafe for all. Even those they’re hiding this appalling bill behind. They’re using these terminally ill people to get this through. They do not care what happens with them at all.

@10DowningStreet They will regard you with utter contempt and get round it.
But you know that.

The reintroduction of the Assisted Dying Bill by Vichy Labour suggests they’re deadly serious about reducing the Welfare Bill so that arms manufacturers can have nice things.

[Kate Hampton @ahdidyo]

@shearernorthern Especially as it's in lock step with deep proposed cuts to benefits and pensions

[Kate Hampton @ahdidyo]

@kimleadbeater No, it's monstrous news that is terrifying people.
Why the zeal?
Why the obsession?
Who's making money from this?

[Disability Rights @TalkThatTalk_K]

The rest of the country isn’t grateful, Claire. The HoL did their jobs and you’re circumventing the law. All to give the government a cheaper option than palliative care. And no, the country doesn’t support this bill. Only old polls conducted by Dignity in Dying (the ones who poured millions into getting this done for the government) actually suggest that.

A deeply dangerous bill that intends to remove safeguards in the coming years once it’s through the door is being forced AGAIN and refuses to ensure safeguarding.

Israel killed little Riyadh in Gaza.

He died of his injuries today.

Tearing my hair out watching news today 🫠

Any journalist covering the “social media ban” but not HOW it works is miserably failing + missing the story.

It won’t be remembered as a policy that kept kids off SM (it won’t) - but as the policy that introduced IDs for the internet.

[Jen Wood - est optimum simpliciter @unojen_wood]

The welfare bill can be cut instantly - Make employers pay a living wage so that the 40% who claim while in work do not have to.
Govts will do ANYTHING but address this.

@SaulStaniforth Othering the vulnerable to give money to the arms dealers is despicable stuff

[Roger Gall @Shambles151]

It's pretty damned obvious that it's not possible for a defendant to mount any form of adequate legal defence against offences they are not charged with.

Please RT this until this injustice is corrected.

Thank you.

The Rich will always choose getting richer over making things better.

It doesn't matter how much money they have, it will never be enough.

This is why you do not want the rich in charge and why Capitalism is the worst possible system

Reward intelligence or hard work, not GREED

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance.

The NHS correctly costs £200bn a year.

In the USA Health Insurance is £14,000 a year per person

£14,000 x 50m adults is £700bn a year. £500bn a year profit

If you can't afford that you are dying
