Powerful words. I’ve heard similar before. The surprising truth that with the right care, environment, support and approach a ‘good death’ is possible. Far too many miss out. An avoidable tragedy. @hospiceuk @StLeonardsYork
"Those last four weeks of her life when she was in the hospice, I think it's odd to say, but were some of the happiest of her life." Sir Michael Palin reflects on the care his wife received in a hospice, as he calls for more support for hospices in the budget. #Newsnight

A treat for us today. We got to visit the former home of railway king #GeorgeHudson which amongst other things, has one of the most impressive staircases in a residential home in the country. Great timing too for #Railway200 and Yorks railway geek Sheriff @PaulDoughty1!

🗞️ Bill to scrap the bishop’s vote in Tynwald set to become law – ending centuries-old religious privilege. Well done @LawrieHooper for leading this principled democratic reform. https://t.co/p9A4WjSv83

Diversity of thought. Much sought. Rarely found. Easily lost.
Diversity isn’t just who’s in the room, it’s who’s allowed to disagree. Real equality protects difference of thought as much as identity.

Lots of laughs today with @BBCYork raising money for @BBCCiN. I never excepted I’d be doing a three legged lap around @McArthurGlenUK whilst talking to @JoanitaMusisi about @StLeonardsYork!

As we honour the victims and heroes spare a thought for the clean up crew who will now be tasked with getting the train ready for service. Often unseen, overlooked, unthanked. I hope they get looked after for what they deal with today. @LNER @DavidHorne

As a gay man, I genuinely fear for what a more strictly religious society will bring. Regardless of the hashtags they use, history or experiences from other countries doesn’t give much comfort when secular pushback fails.
"With parties increasingly willing to sacrifice secular principles to court religious voters, and faith communities mobilising politically, secularism needs to be assertive." https://t.co/XbX4b6A6AK

The most sensible thing I’ve read on here for a while.
We face a choice. We can either allow religion to be weaponised for political ends, or we can promote the secular values that underpin democracy: equality before the law, freedom of conscience, and separation of religion and state. https://t.co/yZGAfrmjFV
