@PeterStefanovi2 He’s worried about splitting his party when there are terminally ill people suffering? As usual he doesn’t give a fuck about us peasants.
“Although I’m a great believer in hospice care, sadly there are limits to what palliative care can achieve.”
Hospice CEO Mark Jarman-Howe supports assisted dying because ‘it will make things safer, better and more compassionate for patients and families’ at the end of life.
@Islandcroft@Orishman1@STVNews Do you believe that people should have autonomy over their bodies when they are dying? You’re denying them that. It’s a much kinder end than what some experience. Have a little empathy.
@STVNews Thereby driving the terminally ill to take matters into their own hands or criminalise family members for supporting their loved ones wish to die with peace & dignity. Yes, improve palliative care but denying the right to choose one’s imminent death is abhorrent and regressive
@JeremyRBalfour did you vote against the assisted dying bill based on disabled people feeling the pressure to end their lives? My understanding is it was for the terminally ill, NOT the disabled. You’ve let us down and pushed countless people to take matters into their own hands.
Hey @wesstreeting if you’re planning to improve cancer outcomes I’m afraid you’ll have to dig deep and invest in the NHS and research. That doesn’t come cheap. Are you willing to put your (our) money where your mouth is?

Just heard news from pro Palestine activists that they’ve ended hunger strike in the context of the Government denying contract to Elbit. They’ve also secured meetings with prison officials about their health and conditions. I pay tribute to the dedication of the hunger strikers.
The Black Panthers have re-entered the chat! The Panthers are a revolutionary socialist group that fed & protected the community. They were such a threat to the dictatorship of capital they were falsely labeled “terrorists.” Their reemergence is necessary.
Mark Ruffalo on Trump:
“The world's not better with this guy, this madman in office who just told the world that there is no international law concerning him. He has no morality. He's a rapist. He's a pedophile...”
“We have to get out and stop it..”
