As the Assisted Dying Bill continues to be scrutinised there are increasing concerns that several amendments to protect certain groups are being rejected by the Committee
STOP PRESS: Assisted suicide Committee rejects amendments designed explicitly to prevent people with anorexia from being eligible for assisted suicide as they have been elsewhere. Earlier today, eating disorder support groups and campaigners urged MPs to support this amendment.

Great expectations for Lecanemab – and great disappointment at the decision by NICE. But was that a good decision? https://t.co/9EIyM1dSjj

This is a vital service for those affected by this type of dementia
And so do the people living with the disease and their carers. For such a small cost saving we are losing a globally recognised resource led by global experts that transforms the lives of people affected by #PPA @DHSCgovuk @DHSCmedia

What a great picture!
Mum's artwork today with her carer, just dabbing in colours, she so loves it & her carer added the black squiggles, they looks like flowers. Proud daughter here, stuck on fridge💜 Can't believe she did most of those on her own, her carer Claire is amazing #dementia #art #carer

Thank you Ronald!
Despite all the supposed benefits, The world has to offer. And I agree. Nonetheless I’ve reach a tipping point, Where I’d rather just sit alone for a while. And bread. As the benefit of sitting alone with a smile Can far outweighs the benefit of interacting with society Ronald

Very sad events in Manipur and misunderstanding of all that is going on there
Wondering whether the misreporting of what's happening in Manipur is due to religious illiteracy or fear following the Indian govt raid on the BBC office? https://t.co/McTM1WYjE1

Good to have been with Manoj and his family on this special occasion. A person of vision, faith and commitment, as well as an entrepreneur and great motivator. Very happy for Pinner Baptist Church.
This Sunday gone I was ordained as a Baptist Minister. Pinner Baptist Church took me on as a minister-in-training back in 2019 and now I look forward to serving them full-time from September this year. Thankful to God and all those who have been on this journey with me!
