We were down in Rochester & Strood today - where MP Lauren Edwards is under the most pressure to revive the failed assisted death Bill and push it through into law.
Local residents turned out with The OH's @fionamacmac & @TheNotDeadYetUK, to ask her not to return this Bill.
In 100 years, if Christians are identified as those who do not kill their children or their elderly, we would have been doing something right.

Incredible how quickly Zack becomes enthusiastic for government databases of migrants, border controls and “you wouldn’t want to live next to em’” rhetoric as soon as Israelis are involved
It’s appalling to see people like Jenrick & Braverman - both of whom are intelligent and know Kemi very well- actively lying about what Kemi said.
They know she has been rock solid on identity politics forever. They have seen the full quote from which this nonsense has been extracted and warped. They know this attack is based on something that is not only wrong, it is the opposite of the truth.
They insult their members, who they presumably think aren’t capable of spotting the obvious lie. And they position Reform as just another grubby grasping lying political entity.
They should retract and apologise
The various posters are right today. Raising children with Down syndrome *is* hard. It gets harder as they get older and I get older.
What the posters don’t understand is that we ought not snuff out people who are burdens to us. That’s the hard truth of being human I guess.
Every life matters.
One law. One standard. For everyone.
This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.
What is the point of this beyond the State wishing to wantonly flex its muscles in the face of the Church? Any faithful priest is already going to ask any person (regardless of their age) to report any criminal matters to the relevant authorities!
Ten Flotilla land convoy members were detained by Libyan militias TEN DAYS AGO and just had their imprisonment extended by the repressive regime there. I haven’t seen a global outcry or obsessive coverage by media. I wonder why.
