Credit where credit is due. This government proscribed Palestine Action, despite the chorus of rage from The Guardian's comment section.
Nor did they listen to various Socialist Campaign Group MPs urging them to bow to the High Court's decision.
No, they appealed and won.

As a Scotsman, I find the obsessive hostility towards the English that some of my countrymen display deeply embarrassing. The fact that it's almost entirely one-sided makes it even more cringeworthy. They don't root against us like this; you're making us all look bitter and sad.

So funny seeing some English having a meltdown bc our fans can travel for our national team to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years & are just having a good time & are loved by everyone, whereas they’re just focusing on it “coming home” & are disliked wherever they go 😂

Aside from the Rocky Horror Service Book offering for the World Cup (thanks CofE comms for the perfect sermon fodder) it is noticeable how much better liturgical books looked back in the day. Here is a BCP of 1639: Laudian beauty of holiness on the page. @prayerbook_soc

Absolutely dismayed that the Assisted Dying Bill is being re-introduced. Not a single one of our major medical or professional bodies support it. A deeply flawed and dangerous bill that poses a real risk to the most vulnerable in our society.

Stayed in Labour in '81 and, along with Kinnock, went on to save the party.
A titan. RIP

Any gardeners got an idea what this is? It may even be a weed, but my mother would like to know.

Lauren Edwards MP, who is proposing to resuscitate the assisted dying private member’s bill, has no specialist education or experience in either its clinical or legal aspects. Nor does her CV show any prior interest in issues of individual decision-making towards the end of life

Very sad to see my colleague Lauren Edwards MP bringing the deeply flawed and unsafe Assisted Dying Bill back as a PMB. If it was safe and brilliant why did the Lords sponsor of the bill bring 77 amendments in the Lords? It cannot just be brought back as it is and forced through.
