BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care - Prof Charlotte Wilson Jones (@CFWilsonJones) Professor of Psychiatry:
Some people will be coerced into ending their lives under the assisted suicide Bill.
We are not ready to make assisted suicide legal, she says.

This Bill is dangerous. Please consider asking your MP to oppose.

As an NHS doctor I saw a patient with Down Syndrome be given a DNACPR simply on that basis.
That is - in part - why the euthanasia law is terrifying.
Tell your MP to vote NO on September 11th.
Beautiful inside and out. RIP Dolly Parton
Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 ā 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 ā 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 ā 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Partonās legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dollyās request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dollyās fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Partonās Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Not a single Disabled People's Organisation (organisations run by and for Disabled people) publicly supports the Assisted Dying Bill.
That tells you everything you need to know.

š„who would know better than an NHS surgeon who served in the Dept for Health & Social Care?
And, I would add, one that would have seen officials' assessment of just what this Bill will do to the NHS.

The way a country treats its most vulnerable people speaks volumes about the country as a whole. What does this say about the UK?
Children, the elderly, the disabled, immigrants, the poor, and other vulnerable groups are all at risk.
This is a disgrace for a wealthy nation.

I have had v limited faith in the police for many years. Tonight again my view was reinforced. My D was assaulted by someone. My Sās phone stolen. Useless. 2 people just allowed to run away. One of the culprits was lighting a fire on a common - hence why we intervened.
I was at St Vaast - La Manche for the 11/08/1999 total eclipse. I think you need to experience totality and the effect on the local birds/wildlife to understand how outstanding this is. Today was interesting. Beautiful but not in any way the same. Looking forward to next totality

Please repost this letter. We cannot be silent while they ignore the responses to their performative Consultation . They plough on to roll back disabled children and young peopleās rights by decades. Rights ironically brought in under successive @Conservatives governments.
