Do you know one of the biggest triggers for male suicide, @UKLabour? Debt. Financial pressure. Being made to feel like a failure for not being a breadwinner. If you want to reduce suicide, why are you pushing male claimants below the poverty line and treating them as worth less?

Campaigners for assisted suicide are fond of telling us it has "massive public support" I disagree & in my experience as an opponent of assisted suicide, the more people learn about the subject, the less they support it Have a look at my BBC documentary: https://t.co/KOoAi5mFz7

The role of the House of Lords is to debate a bill line by line. The Commons by comparison have amendments and votes selected so sometimes chunks of a bill are not debated

LCWRA claimants are now getting journal messages saying “Would you like a chat?” about “options for the future”. All labelled “voluntary”, but built on soft coercion and the presumption that improvement is expected — just a matter of when. It’s #LCWRA nudged into LCW by stealth.
