I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today.
Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison.
Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency.
Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it.
When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional.
This is close to becoming law.
Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.
Nearly a decade after the British people voted to settle Brexit and take back control, Keir Starmer is re-opening the debate.
His EU deal breaks every promise Labour made – on laws, borders, farming, fishing, and defence.
This deal is not the future we were promised.

Instead of waiting in long queues at passport control, Brits travelling to Europe will now be able to use e-Gates.
So you can start your holiday sooner.
@RCPsych cannot support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill for England and Wales in its current form and is once again urging MPs to look at our concerns ahead of the pivotal Commons Report stage debate and Third Reading. More here: https://t.co/wv2GqeXowE
Professor Theo Boer once backed assisted dying legislation in the Netherlands—even serving on a euthanasia review board. After witnessing the system expand and eligibility loosen,, he changed his mind.

I was one of many who recommended in written evidence that everyone requesting assisted dying should have - at minimum - a palliative care assessment.
Lack of capacity is not a reassuring reason to reject this amendment.
Palliative care can alleviate a wish for hastened death.
I believe your lack of clarity and interest unfortunately stems from a deeper problem. It became apparent to me when we met that you do not appear to know your own bill.

So many pertinent questions here for the Education Secretary!
We should all be very concerned by the direction of travel under this government! For my grandchildren - please take this on board
What problem is the Education Secretary trying to solve? https://t.co/P5t63Vv1Ov
This is really concerning. Will our new government continue the work of the last ( Conservative) government to tackle this?
Four out of five acts of religious discrimination around the world are directed at Christians https://t.co/52mYSlgywH via @CapX
Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
