@lushlins2 @Vee71Bobby @BazaritoDorito @MrsRieB @lewis_goodall Pair of clots 🙄

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@lushlins2 @BazaritoDorito @Vee71Bobby @MrsRieB @lewis_goodall 1. These example people can already be coerced off a bridge right now. That's easier than convincing 2 Doctors & a High Court Judge that you're terminally ill with less than 6 months to live, right?

2. And? Just continue to let people die in agony is your solution?

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@Vee71Bobby @BazaritoDorito @lushlins2 @MrsRieB @lewis_goodall And these vulnerable people aren't already?

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@PaulRomainCPFC @lewis_goodall Proves the IQ (& EQ for that matter) of this Parliament is a lot higher than the last one...

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@JudyAbel2 @Alexand64830045 @janecomben @implausibleblog Everyone knows that can never happen & your solution is cruel to the people that need this.

People need assisted dying TO DAY. Your reasons to oppose are already here too.

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@LauraFMcConnell @LenSeaside The analogy is 100% correct though. Don't take your bitterness out on people less fortunate than yourself.

@IsabelOakeshott Give Isabel her stolen phone back please...

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@sarah_owl3 @lewis_goodall There you go Sarah...

Greens were 100% in favour.

85/15% - split for the Lib Dem MPs that voted.

61/39% - Labour.

Even reform were 60/40% in favour.

20/80% - freedom-loving tories.

@Ninnytofour @davidjamessims BuT tHaT's HoW iT sTaRtS!!!

You watch! Next step will be people with names starting with N 😳🙄

Seriously though. Do we want that? No. Do they want that? No. 🤷‍♂️

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@stone3Clare @scserendipity1 @ddhitchens @danny__kruger How much more vulnerable can you be, with less than 6 months to live & a horrendously painful, terminal illness?

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@sarah_owl3 @lewis_goodall And in this case, with rightly strict checks & balances in place.

Will it be abused? Likely.

But it's that a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater? No.

Let's just not have people dying in agony needlessly.

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@sarah_owl3 @lewis_goodall I've just read 73% of the public were in favour. Has any party had a majority of public support like that lately?

I don't see it as a political issue any more than that's just the way we enact laws.

I support this bill because I support giving people the right to choose.

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@sarah_owl3 @lewis_goodall This was a free vote & it could've just as easily been a reform MP that brought this private members bill. It wasn't a party-line issue.

The state won't be killing anyone. To be blunt, the patients themselves will.

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@PhilChadwick81 @lewis_goodall Yeah cos maths & majority is what's important here eh? 🙄

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@louderry @lewis_goodall Not sure wonderful is the right adjective but it's sure as hell the right result!

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@bones_hearts @erasmus_hazel @lewis_goodall You misspelled "wibble"

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@sadietrent_92 @lewis_goodall It was a free vote as I understand it.

The majority could've just as easily been 100 by those maths.

[Graham Armstrong @ga2493]

@lewis_goodall EXCELLENT news.

They've managed to cut through all the nonsense about slippery slopes or palliative care shortfalls & arrived at what's best for the patient & family.
