Life is what you make it but family, friends, good music, good food and a generous dash of volunteering make it even better! Opinions are all my own!

Despite incredible advances made in the treatment of #HIV, there is still far too much stigma and misinformation surrounding the subject. Here are five facts about HIV which are vital to understanding this #WorldAIDSDay #UequalsU #CantPassItOn

Susan’s daughter Fiona ‘suffered an agonising and prolonged death.’ An assisted dying law would have allowed her to die peacefully, surrounded by the people she loved. 'We are only prolonging death, not life.'

We are prolonging death, not life.

These are the people at the heart of the assisted dying debate. We need real change.

Let’s talk about the role of emotion in debate. I'm struck by some opponents of assisted dying dismissing the voices of those affected by the ban as presenting “emotional” rather than "rational" arguments for law change. Here’s why it’s so important these voices are heard 🧵
