Listen folks. This is worrying. Actually, it’s not worrying, it’s terrifying. I have sat with people who are about to, and are planning on ending their lives. I’ve talked them back from the edge. I’ve sat and prayed and sobbed and talked and laughed. This is not coercion, this is
Stopping a loved one from ending their life is now 'coercion', according to Kim Leadbeater MP. 🤔

Is anyone even remotely the wiser as to what @RachelReevesMP has been wittering on about for the last 20 mins?!

Or that they destroy all the records one year after death. What would they do that?
⚠Lord Falconer mentions Oregon’s annual reports on assisted suicide but doesn’t tell peers that Oregon’s reports reveal deaths have been approved for anorexia, arthritis & diabetes, one person took over 5 days to die & nearly half cite feeling a burden as a motivation.

Those poor families 😢
A former paratrooper has been found not guilty of the murders of two men and the attempted murders of five men during Bloody Sunday in 1972. Judge Patrick Lynch heard evidence across a four-week, non-jury trial into the defendant known as Soldier F. https://t.co/jx8WNnfk4K

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

How is this even remotely ok 👀
Lord Falconer says people with “learning difficulties or autism” could, with “proper assistance”, access assisted suicide. That should alarm every Peer in the Lords. Vulnerable people don’t need help to die. They need support to live.

Learning disabilities? Autistic? Downs Syndrome? Don't worry you too can have an assisted death according to Lord Falconer
Falconer: those with learning disabilities, autism... with proper care we can make sure they have that option too!

As Soldier F prepares to go on trial tomorrow, here is a reminder of what he has escaped prosecution for. Don’t be fooled by his cheerleaders at Belfast City Hall yesterday who are either ignorant of the findings of a 12 year international tribunal of inquiry, or blinded by their

There has been a 227% increase in the number of students who are registering for Irish courses at Queen’s University Belfast this year. As a result of this new demand, The Language Centre has put on extra classes. One of the most important developments is the Irish Language

Couldn’t help feeling for Norman McLeod tonight as he read about his own redundancy 😢 No bein funny @STVNews but do events in Glasgow & further south really affect the daily lives of us here in the North East? Surely it just means even fewer of us altogether will watch 🤷🏻♀️

Multiple terrorist flags clearly displayed by bands in Derry today. In full view of the ABOD marshals and the PSNI. Deliberately provocative and sectarian.

As the head of an academic department, I ensure that everyone in my team has access to a desk, computer, printing, Wi-Fi and other IT facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, and showers. I’ve never understood why all NHS hospitals can’t do the same for their resident doctors.

It beggars belief that the deputy First Minister saw fit to take a jolly to Wimbledon on the taxpayers’ dime. The DUP is clearly unable to explain or justify why the public should be picking up a £1,000 tab. Emma Little-Pengelly should do the decent thing and pay it back.

Harvey was definitely unique. But what isn't unique is the way he and other children and people with disabilities are being failed. It is up to us to stop it. When we say #JusticeForHarvey it means Disability Justice. It's time for Change. #HarrisResign

Couldn’t agree more.
Let's not tiptoe around it: Ian Rutledge was a monster. No greater sensitivity should be shown around a triple murder in the home than one of strangers in the street. Insisting it's a private tragedy & we shouldn't intrude is part of the problem. https://t.co/2jXLfaBxUt

This is truly terrifying. Truly. Terrifying. Why are the assistants not assisting @wesstreeting ?
Ah yes it's that time of year - new FY1s, joining their soon-to-be-teams and shadowing the outgoing doct-... Oh wait, no - silly me. The new FY1 is the only doctor on the ward round that is being 'led' by the PA. On complex highly morbid elderly patients with multiple current
