Faith leaders from across Wales have issued a powerful statement against the proposed Assisted Dying Bill, legislation would allow doctors to provide lethal drugs to individuals with incurable illnesses, effectively legalising physician-assisted suicide.

Cheers, Tim! A marvellous man - a marvellous actor, husband, father, friend. On stage, on screen, on a canal boat, on the end of a pier (he loved a seaside pier!), in the garden with a glass of wine, he was just the best. He has died at 90: what a worthwhile, well-filled life.
