Incomprehensible to accept that 7 months ago we had a healthy 17 year old son with a bright future ahead and now he’s in this grave. Offered no treatment for a DIPG brain tumour. Our politicians must do more for research #dipg #braintumours #doingitfordaniel
One of our MSPs Colette Stevenson @theSNP in charge of running Scotland. Unbelievable 🤡
Archie is using his voice to try and bring about change. Brain cancer kills more children and adults under 40 than any cancer. It took my incredible son Daniel aged 17 - 7 months from diagnosis. He was offered no treatment plan at diagnosis and had never been ill before this 💔
'Give us a chance to fight for our lives'
Commonwealth Games swimmer Archie Goodburn, who was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 22, made an emotional appeal on #BBCBreakfast for more funding despite the passing of the Rare Cancers Bill aimed at improving research and trials

There is nothing more unnatural than losing a child before one’s own time is up. Whatever time I have left will be spent preventing these forsaken circumstances for other families in our country.
I miss you so much Grace…in your name…… dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
This is completely wrong. These MSPs should be ashamed of themselves. Adults with a terminal illness should be allowed the right to end their suffering. I’m utterly disappointed and upset at this decision. We are a backward country 💔
Scottish Parliament votes against legalising assisted dying in Scotland by 69 votes to 57 bbc.in/4dywRIu
This petition needs just over 2,000 signatures to reach its target and have the possibility of being debated in parliament.
If you could sign it and share it I would be so grateful. Brain cancer kills more of our children than any other cancer. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

One of my best friends, Alex who is 23 years old and his family have set up a @JustGiving page to help raise money to help him access the best treatments available to him.
I was living with him at the time when he fell unwell in May so took him to hospital with another one of our friends.
We were all shocked to find out that he had cancer, which was later diagnosed as a stage 4 glioma.
Despite the standard NHS treatment, it was discovered on New Year’s Eve that there was some further growth.
This has made the need for additional funds even more important, so if you could take a moment to access the link provided, read Alex’s story that would be massively appreciated.
The fundraiser has already raised over £50,000 which is amazing, however, the costs of private treatment, travel and insurance have been quoted to be £200,000 to his family.
I know January is a tough time for everyone, financially, if you can donate that would be amazing, but sharing this with as many people as possible is just as important.
Here is the link to read more about it. Thank you🙏

If you could share this post for Alex who is 23 and hoping for treatment abroad for brain cancer which sadly often has zero treatment options in the UK. Every young person with cancer deserves hope and the chance of treatment 💛🎗️

The SNP is considering allowing babies to be aborted BECAUSE of their sex.
Sex-Selective Abortions (SSAs) are disgusting, morally repugnant, sinister and barbaric.
They cannot be allowed in Scotland - the SNP must be stopped. 👇

This poor Jewish guy was trapped on a London bus for an hour while the driver refused to give him back his bank card that he had dropped. He’s weeping in frustration and sadness. My heart hurts for him. This is outrageous. @TfL

Hamas has killed over a 100 Palestinian civilians in the last 72 hours. Some were shot or beaten to death with bricks and pipes, while others were beheaded.
These are the barbarians that the left and Islamists have spent two years fawning over. God help the West.
Such sad news about @LewisMoody7, an incredible man who has contributed so much to raising money and awareness of brain cancer. Life is so unfair 😢
This incredible man, has raised over £2 million to support research into & awareness of brain tumours through the @LewisMoodyFdn - set up in memory of a little boy with brain cancer.
Truly one of the good guys, wishing you all the very best @LewisMoody7 ❤️
Disgusting behaviour of this individual in Muswell Hill, cutting down ribbons of Jewish hostages who have been held in captivity for over 2 years. I just despair of people 😢

On the holiest day of the year we are attacked at a Manchester synagogue. Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with “what about…” This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the Holocaust, promising freedom under the rule of law. Today I pray for the victims, thank the brave who responded and wonder if that promise is fading. A community this small cannot stand alone. If you believe in Britain (wherever you’re from & whatever your faith) you must stand with us. Many Jews cannot imagine a future here and history tells us what follows when that happens.
Happy international dog day from our wonderful Alfie and Violet. If you know the love of a dog you are truly blessed 🥰💛

I found this boy on the streets of Delhi, India yesterday.
It was a very late night but we saved his life.
His rescue deeply moved me… (1/8) 🧵

Another Masterclass by Douglas Murrray! 🇮🇱
I have literally never seen a more eloquent, calm, and decisive presentation on live TV.
Douglas Murray just fit 100 books and 300 podcast episodes into this 3-minute soliloquy.
He completely shut down Pierce Morgan’s argument, clarifying that Hamas, not Netanyahu, is the true obstacle for peace.
He criticized Hamas for using foreign aid to build tunnels and enrich its leaders, rather than improving Gaza.
But most importantly, he explained that peace with Hamas is fundamentally impossible, as they value conflict and death, not peace and life; thus, unless Israel is allowed to decisively win, the cycle of violence will continue ad infinitum.
Thank you Douglas Murray for being the absolute most important voice in the world right now to defend Israel and the Jewish People!
