The way this country removes agency from terminally ill people is a scandal. People have the right both to a good life and a good death. The law must change. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
My sister in law has PIP because she is living with terminal cancer. How exactly will these vouchers improve her health when the signs that her breast cancer had spread over her body were missed by delays in NHS?

A reminder that this is the same government that is currently promising to clamp down on what it describes as "immoral" waste in the civil service
Conservatives obsess over “the idle poor” yet celebrate the idle rich who live off unearned wealth.
Haven't seen any polling but my sense is the Tories have miscalculated the value of a dividing line on benefits for people with mental illnesses. Plenty of middle class professionals with depression/anxiety who are also being insulted with "pull your socks up" BS.
I’ll send the Tory Party a “receipt” for what I spend my disability benefits on when they send me a receipt for what they’re spending my taxes on. I’ll stop when they can be trusted not to waste it on bungs to their mates for dodgy PPE or shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda.
And I was only able to make any headway in recovery because I was able to get private therapy for the PTSD that was ruining my life. I find it astonishing that ministers seem to think the therapy will magically appear or people will just realise they’ve been imagining they are…
Yousaf’s termination of the agreement with the Greens must rank among the stupidest unforced errors committed by any modern leader. Politics is personal and emotional: if you shaft people they probably won’t like it and won’t then support you. None of this chaos had to happen.

Latest from me. This has bern waiting to be pointed out for quite a while theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
On the other hand, it might just terminate at Royal Oak.
Just The Mail getting fact checked by the Met Police… The fact that this rag is still treated as a ‘newspaper’ is a national embarrassment.

It's weird how accustomed to this sort of thing we are. Sunak's exasperation here comes from a flat presumption that other people have simply no right to know when there's going to be an election or a tax rise and it's inherently petty and annoying of them to want to find out.

So to summarise, the Home Office plans to detain vulnerable people for months on end, for the sake of trying to win a few more votes for the Conservative party theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/a…
The Mail sounds oddly excited by the notion of everyone in Britain being killed
On the other hand, this government can’t even manage a high speed train to Birmingham.
If this is what he's like in a pre-recorded interview, how on earth is he going to cope with an election campaign? huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tetchy-r…
There is a limit to how long someone can just stand by and watch the systematic destruction of the NHS. For Dan Poulter it appears to be 14 years.

I am haunted by my wedding photo collar gaps thanks to Derek Guy. 😭
Today I went back and looked at my wedding photos and my husband has a collar gap and I am a little bit dead inside now.
I think it’s pretty cruel that women have such a short window to have kids. Like what if you marry the wrong person and then a global pandemic happens and you get really sick and now you’re ready to go but you’re 36 and single? Like where is the room for error
@jonlis1 I don't think the Tories actually want most of us to have either. ☹️
I could use my lovely blue tick to go off on some thousand word diatribe about how beyond awful these low-lying scoundrels are, but instead I’ll just stick with: register to vote, make sure you have the right ID to vote, and vote.
Perhaps ministers could be given vouchers?

Don’t look up Humza Yousaf on this site, because all it will reveal is how the place is dominated by the racist far right, and (oddly) those obsessed with the 40,000 or so trans women in the entire UK
In fairness to Humza Yousaf he did at least accept responsibility for the mess he created. Too many leaders - in politics and beyond - don't.
@jonlis1 Still not quite at the level of Cameron promising the EU referendum. Or May implementing article 50. Or May's red lines. Or Truss's ... everything.
My sister in law has PIP because she is living with terminal cancer. How exactly will these vouchers improve her health when the signs that her breast cancer had spread over her body were missed by delays in NHS?
Vouchers not cash in an attempt to improve the health of disabled people bit.ly/4bheBPQ
Well he managed just over a year. That’s a decent innings these days.
Welcome to the day that Rishi Sunak will NOT call a general election 🤓
A dignified, yet quite emotional resignation from @HumzaYousaf. It's sad in many ways that his tenure has ended in this way, as I think he is a fundamentally decent person.
Not Lee Anderson saying he needed to take a shower after canvassing in my hometown? And he claims to be a man of the people? Blackpool South deserves better. Someone Blackpool Born and Bred who actually cares about people and place.
Having twice helped someone appeal a PIP successfully I have some limited experience of how crucial that cash is for those who simply can’t work. Both times the decision read as if it had been based on the wrong person. Full of inaccuracies. It is a cruel system.
Haven't seen any polling but my sense is the Tories have miscalculated the value of a dividing line on benefits for people with mental illnesses. Plenty of middle class professionals with depression/anxiety who are also being insulted with "pull your socks up" BS.
Will be writing more on this later. I do think there has been a diagnosis creep and an unhelpful celebrity mental health culture but besides all of that we still have a very mentally unhealthy society which we are neither trying to treat properly or indeed prevent conditions…
And I was only able to make any headway in recovery because I was able to get private therapy for the PTSD that was ruining my life. I find it astonishing that ministers seem to think the therapy will magically appear or people will just realise they’ve been imagining they are…
Is there a conscious silencing of commentators who ask hard questions about Israel. Belle Donati? Sangita? I’m genuinely perplexed.
Belle Donati was taken off air soon after this interview in January. Why are her Sky colleagues quiet? Is the threat of legal action so great they are willing to compromise their conscience? LBC commentators, I'm looking at you too. #WhereisSangita
