Thank you for doing this, he touched many lives.
I am proud to have created a tribute to the late Councillor Waseem Zaffar with the blessing of his family at this year's Ramadan Streets- something he was so supportive of. People left their messages alongside a huge portrait of him. We salute a true son of Birmingham

I get the feeling some MPs are voting for it because it’s “liberal” and “progressive”.
But there’s no freedom in being dead if you don’t want to be. And introducing a law that @RCPhysicians @rcpsych @GeriSoc @APMPostTweets say does not protect vulnerable people isn’t progress.

I get the feeling that some MPs haven't scrutinised the #AssistedDying bill& are voting for this because they feel that Kim Leadbeater is a good egg, which undoubtedly she is. But this is NOT voting 4 your favourite act at Eurovision, this is seismic law change at breakneck speed

For MPs who are unsure and are reading more evidence against #AssistedDying. Never too late to change your mind, as @CalumMillerLD has done. This Bill is not the right way, whatever your views.

Hundreds of constituents have written to me, expressing their views on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
I’ve written to them to explain the reasons for my voting decision:

Interesting thread
25 Nov 2024
As indicated in various tweets, I think the House of Commons should vote against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on Friday, & am going to do one thread to summarise why.
I'm a Labour member & councillor, & just did a year as an adviser, chiefly in Opposition, (1/18)

A very powerful personal argument from Sir Ed Davey @EdDaveyNews
13 Nov 2024
.@EdDaveyNews spells out the pressures that euthanasia legislation will place on the vulnerable. We need legislation to provide comprehensive palliative care and end of life support. Not lethal injections. Times: @Tanni_GT @thelizcarr @Live_Die_Well @timfarron @frankcottrell_b

Very well put

I thought MND Association Memoradum put it well: we are campaigning to ensure that the v best palliative & terminal care is available to everyone who needs it. Only then will anyone considering ending their life early genuinely have a choice.
