You spend millions every year so well paid MP's and Lord's can get subsidised alcohol at work.
There are 27 alcohol serving taxpayer subsidised bars and restaurants in the UK.
ALL of them in Westminster.
It's time to make it 0.
Like/RT if you agree.

Really worth doing this - if you send a letter to your MP it will include details of MRP polling extent to which their constituents prioritise assisted dying compared to other issues (it's low salience across the board)

You may like to sign this letter asking MPs not to bring back the so called "assisted dying" bill. This bill is very poorly drafted and it would change our society and health care service as we know it.

It’s simple, treat hospital doctors fairly, we work for a monopoly employer. Since 2008 average workers pay up 68%, consultants only 30%. Our comparator professions up 79%. We’re effectively working for more than a quarter of the year for free compared to 2008.

The lack of end-of-life care is the problem.
NOT the lack of assisted deaths.

“Highly Quality Palliative Care for all”
That’s the constant political punchline but its not improving out here.
The reality is the infrastructure and staffing to provide the quality (not just quantity) is not up to the task. The issue is not new and continues everyday.

I've written this open letter to @Keir_Starmer & @wesstreeting because, though I am desperately worried about NHS patients over the next 5 days, I know this strike by resident doctors is a desperate act of last resort.
Please read.

“The prospect of a state-funded assisted dying service sitting alongside a cash-strapped hospice sector is deeply disquieting”
And yet, this is precisely what it seems we will shortly have.
