There's a clear link between the deprivation ranking of an MP's constituency and their vote. On the index of multiple deprivation, where 1 = most deprived, the higher the level of deprivation in their constituency, the more likely the MP was to vote No to assisted suicide.
@colindharte great to know you are still speaking out on behalf of disabled & terminally ill people. We want help to live - not to die. Alison is much missed but she would be so happy that you are continuing her work.
If ever a case merited assisted suicide it would have been that of my friend, Alison Davis. But her story, told by me below, also provides a compelling reason never to legalise it. #AssistedDying

@AngelaRayner thank-you for listening to & respecting the views of disabled people. We want help to live - not to die! Everyone who believes they would be better dead needs help & support. We shouldn't be abandoned if terminally ill or disabled. @notdeadyetuk@NotDeadYetUSA
You can oppose assisted suicide & be compassionate
You can oppose & be an atheist - or not
You can oppose & support choice
You can oppose & not be cruel
You can oppose & have witnessed suffering
You can oppose & have empathy
You can oppose because you're concerned about this Bill
Thank-you @wesstreeting for speaking up for terminally ill & disabled people. We want help to live - not to die! Many people experience inadequate health & social care. I know you are determined to fix that. Assisting us to die is not the solution. @notdeadyetuk@NotDeadYetUSA
More shame for @PO_Ferries. As per @CompaniesHouse they don't file accounts on time! They broke the law by sacking @nautilusint & @RMTunion members. Now they break the Companies Act. Disqualification of their incompetent Directors is long overdue.

Sooo… I can’t believe it’s finally here. My documentary ‘Finding My Secret Family’ airs 9pm Thursday on ITV. The film explores the correlation of disability & adoption, and also tells the story of my own adoption, which is something until now only my close friends & family knew.
