Map of What happened to the 12 Apostles?

A child living in state care, with a disability, told Dame Rachel de Souza: "The Government will pay for me to die under this Bill, but it won’t pay for me to live". Vulnerable young people deserve so much better than this.😡

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

What Steve sees is a beautiful, warped distortion of human nature. He’s also getting confused about the huge difference between ‘punishment’ (not mentioned in @tombennett71’s plan) and consequences. We *all* need to experience meaningful consequences for our actions. The real

When middle-class children fail through discovery learning, their parents hire tutors who teach them explicitly. Working-class children just fail.

New old streets in Dresden. The city’s recreation of its traditional heart is utterly beyond the comprehension or imagination of most British planners, developers, architects or “heritage experts” & yet is profoundly popular, sustainable. It is the people who made this happen.

This is a recently completed British train station. It is pathetic, value engineered to a level of comatose ugliness that dispirits & dulls the mind, dissuading passengers & degrading the trains that run through it. It is not civic or sociable architecture....

So it’s @tombennett71 time, and here’s his 9 point behaviour plan for Scotland’s schools. It’s based on visiting schools around the world and finding out what works best. #rEDEdinburgh

Coercion isn't only a risk from immediate family. @age_uk said there is a wider "moral hazard" with older people at real risk, especially because of issues around inheritance, as well as the growing issue of romance scams.

At @hadron_energy, we have just revealed new details about the engineering and safety innovations powering our flagship 10 megawatt-electric ("MWe") Micro-Modular Reactor (“MMR”), the “Hadron Halo”. The Hadron Halo is a compact, factory-built light-water reactor that will

Our Lady,Mother of Africa, pray for all the nations in distress in Africa

🧵 It is helpful to remember that for the busy teacher, it is perhaps not realistic, feasible, time-fair or even useful to ply them with huge volumes of theory.

“The prospect of a state-funded assisted dying service sitting alongside a cash-strapped hospice sector is deeply disquieting” And yet, this is precisely what it seems we will shortly have. https://t.co/EM2QmjSXLj

This is appalling. Every person with Down’s syndrome would be given help to end their lives under the proposed assisted suicide legislation. Vulnerable people don’t need help to die. They need support to live.

Constantly amazed by: 1. The people who don't think children are capable of anything beyond self-directed play, when they are capable of so much more. I've seen hundreds of schools and thousands of primary classrooms. They rise or fall to our expectations. If you think a kid

This is sickening. As someone with a family member suffering from dementia, it is worrying that under the proposed assisted suicide legislation they could be encouraged to end their life. I am appalled.

🔥 Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson drops a bombshell stat. In 20 countries without assisted suicide, palliative care funding rose by 25%, BUT in the Benelux states where there is AS, it has only risen by 7.9% in the same period. Legalising assisted suicide weakens REAL care.

This bill just strikes me as sinister, insidious, quite dark…. to have so many, in fact all, disability charities and advocacy groups oppose it, and an apparent agenda to kill the vulnerable….

Years ago I did a benefit appeal for a client with Downs Syndrome. He was so suggestible he agreed with the benefits assessor that he could successfully navigate across town. I got the same positive answer when I asked if he could fly an aeroplane

“There is no organisation of or for disabled people that supports this legislation!” Baroness @Tanni_GT outlines her deep concerns about legalising assisted suicide for disabled people. Despite contrary claims, this is the overwhelming view of groups representing disabled people.
