It’ll be interesting to see the reactions of MPs who voted for AS while also saying they want improved access to palliative care and will fight for that too….
But…. 👉 with only 1 reference to palliative care.👉 only 3 mentions of hospices and.👉 no commitment to universal access to high quality palliative and end of life care. ❌ we shouldn’t even think about legalising Assisted Suicide.❌ it wouldn’t be a real choice for anyone.

Indeed. Ignoring disabled organisations and voices to vote for AS, and then claiming to be on the side of the disabled, does not work.
So why did you vote for the #PhysicianAssistedSuicide bill which puts disabled people at greater risk. Why did you not show the same passion during the @kimleadbeater debate where you betrayed disabled people and organisations who were clear they did not support the bill?.

As it seems we're back in the (surely now a bit tired?) conversation on whether politicians of faith should keep that faith "private" (or even be forced to declare it in public), here's a piece I wrote in @thetimes back in 2023 when the conversation arose around @_KateForbes. 👇
