Delighted to collaborate with our friends at @ADFIntl in setting the record straight on Amnesty's terrible dystopian attack 'report' on 117 organisations who don't agree with their narrow, myopic view of what 'rights' are important today. CMF were also named in the report.

[ADF International @ADFIntl]

@AmnestyUK's “anti-rights” report was so bad, they took it down. But we saw it — and we saw its deeply anti-Christian bias.

Yesterday, we sent a letter to @ChtyCommission together with 10 Christian charities targeted by the report, to set the record straight on our mission, values, and contributions to society.

Such a pleasure to meet @BishopAngaelos and a nice surprise to pass @GavCalver in the lobby!

[Archbishop Angaelos @BishopAngaelos]

Pleased to welcome two good friends and faithful stewards at @TheSanctuaryCDL today in @GavCalver, CEO of the Evangelical Alliance [@EAUKNews], and Mark Pickering, CEO of the Christian Medical Fellowship @UK_CMF, discussing possibilities of serving society through shared witness on a number of shared issues.

So thankful for the friends we make, and the opportunities that our Lord presents us with.

@NoahKeate Very wise. He listened to his constituents. I was surprised how low down their priority list an assisted dying bill was.

@nicolelampert After seeing the story about attacks on Gail's, I went straight to my local Gail's and bought some bread - thank you Guardian for reminding me of the excellence of their produce!

[Mark Pickering @lockedupdoc]

This is an incredible summary of the massive concerns raised by a whole range of experts about the assisted dying bill currently before the House of Lords. Well worth five minutes of anyone's time!

[Right To Life UK @RightToLifeUK]

📹HIGHLIGHTS REEL! Watch almost every professional body that gave evidence & numerous groups representing vulnerable people express profound concerns with major aspects of the assisted suicide Bill at the recent House of Lords select committee. Essential viewing for Peers! 🧵1/

Rev Bernard Randall's story is shocking. I have met him - a lovely man who appears to have been very poorly treated. Please support his case for reinstatement - https://t.co/ATkH5EPOkz

Pleased to support the brave and inspiring @IsabelVSpruce and dream of a new generation of healthcare works who support both lives in pregnancy.

This is a very good article. I was pleased to be quoted in it. Hoping that the BMA will soon return to its roots.

[SEEN in Journalism @JournalismSEEN]

Fantastic piece exploring where the BMA has gone wrong, including the concerning extent of anti-Semitism and gender identity absolutism.

Kim Leadbeater's backtracking on what was a key plank of her assisted suicide bill simply underlines the massive problems that many of us have been highlighting all along.

"If I had a pressure sore that didn't heal I'd be able to find a doctor who'd say I had 6 months to live... We've got doctors in the UK already talking about terminal anorexia.

"It's about having those protections in place and I don't see it in this bill." @Tanni_GT tells @LBC

@BBCNewsnight @vicderbyshire Brilliant questions, awkwardly avoided and fumbled by a key supporter of current assisted dying proposals. This is so instructive to watch. Thank you, @vicderbyshire

[Mark Pickering @lockedupdoc]

This is a brilliant interview, where a key supporter of the current assisted dying proposals is systematically dismantled by careful questions. Please watch!

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

FULL INTERVIEW

@vicderbyshire presses assisted dying bill supporter Christine Jardine, Lib Dem MP for Edinburgh West, about the proposed new law and concerns around its safeguarding measures.

@marcogiann @ShakdamC Thank you for a very insightful piece. UNRWA needs root and branch reform.

[Mark Pickering @lockedupdoc]

Indeed…

"The department said NHS England would be implementing Cass’s recommendations... It added, “NHS England has full confidence in the Cass report and we are committed to taking forward its recommendations.” Pressure on the BMA Council increases .... https://t.co/gdgY63vAaF

@gefrin11 Hello Susie
Where did this conversation take place, please? Many thanks.

[Mark Pickering @lockedupdoc]

Good to be on @SkyNews this morning with @DrJackyDavis - what really needs fixing is patchy access to palliative care…

[Sky News @SkyNews]

MPs are set to debate assisted dying today, after a campaign backed by the journalist and campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen.

@DrJackyDavis of Dignity in Dying and Dr Mark Pickering (@lockedupdoc) of Care Not Killing discuss with @WilfredFrost.
