Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began. Why has this disappeared from the headlines? The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

"It is ethically troubling that substances used for veterinary euthanasia are subject to more rigorous evaluation and licensing than those proposed for human use in [assisted suicide]."
Extremely informative article on drugs used in euthanasia / assisted dying / suicide. So many important questions, so few answers, and so much currently being left to secondary legislation. https://t.co/LuVXLdAn8H

If you actually want to reduce #suicide, start by reducing shame. Debt. Sanctions. Food insecurity. Poverty wages. These aren’t “pressures.” They are engineered despair. No amount of awareness ribbons can offset the impact of policymaking built on humiliation.

A really important question from my excellent friend, Richard Quigley MP. The Assisted Dying Bill that went through the Commons - and is now in the Lords - has more holes in it than my sieve at home. It isn’t fit for purpose.
My colleague Richard Quigley MP today asked a question to the Prime Minister that reveals the very real possibility that those with eating disorders could be eligible for assisted dying - against NICE guidance.

SHOCKING STAT FROM NEW ZEALAND Baroness Scotland (@PScotlandKC) points out that since introducing assisted suicide, New Zealand has slid from the 3rd best palliative-care system in the world to the 12th.

This is utterly appalling. This pro-assisted suicide supporter just said it would be “discriminatory” to prevent people with mental illnesses from ending their lives. That’s the whole point of suicide prevention!
😱HORRIFIC! Paul Bowen says it would be "discriminatory" to prevent people suffering from mental illness to "take advantage of" ending their own lives...

😮 Baroness Hollins says she is "really worried" about how capacity would be assessed for eligibility for assisted suicide. "I do not think that the Mental Capacity Act is appropriate".

Heartbreaking story on cuts to hospices on @BBCNewsnight tonight. Imagine choosing a state-funded assisted suicide system over properly funded palliative care. The House of Lords have a choice here. They should vote down the wicked assisted suicide bill.

The world truly is being tested. Not only by the cruelty unfolding in Palestine and Sudan, but by our capacity to still feel. Every image is a test of conscience. The greatest danger isn’t the oppressor’s power, it’s our growing apathy.

This morning, I was supposed to go and prepare the medical tent. There was still work to be done: a few tarpaulins to fasten, some chairs and a table to find. It should have been a simple day of labor, a day of purpose. But in our land, even the simplest day conspires against

Update from the Killing Fields of Sudan: Maternity hospital massacre leaves 460 dead as patients and staff are butchered; 2,000 civilians were executed in two days. UN resolutions: zero. Protesters in London: couple of dozen. Coverage of Sudan carnage in media: minimal.
The ignored and brutal civil war in Sudan, which has already claimed 150,00 lives and displaced millions, has now taken an even more terrible turn in El Fashir, under siege and suffering famine. RSF rebels have captured the city, triggering the panicked flight of its remaining

7-year-old Ghada lost her arm in an Israeli bombing in Gaza. Now, she's learning how to write with her left hand. Ghada missed two years of school during the genocide and wants to play like any other child.

Every day since the 'ceasefire', Israel has blatantly breached it, killing scores of Palestinians. With not a word of criticism from a Labour government. Instead, we have had a defence of the rights of football hooligans to go on the rampage. Shameful. https://t.co/SfkfFPl55p
