Come with me as I commute from home in Swindon to Westminster š“āāļø
After launching the Governmentās new Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS), the journey was a good reminder of why active travel matters.

First time since 1970 that I've felt any sense of confidence in England. We can win this

I'm 68. Of course children should be restricted whilst I should have no extra tests on me to use X.
Oh wait. I'm going to have to prove I'm over 16 aren't I?

This one of the worst House of Commons in living memory. The enthusiasm of some Labour MPs for encouraging vulnerable people to end their lives is frankly shocking.

It was described as the āsafest and most robust assisted dying legislationā by **supporters** of the Bill.
Not a single Royal Medical College OR Professional Body in this country will say the Bill is safe. Let alone it being the āsafestā.

Lauren Edwards MP statement says ā[The TIA bill] was rightly described as the safest and most robust assisted dying law anywhere in the worldā
No. It was only described this way by the people trying to push it through.
Here is how others described the Bill:
1. The Royal College of Physicians said the Bill is unsafe
2. The Royal College of Psychiatrists said the Bill is unworkable, and unsafe
3. The British Geriatrics Society said the Billās safeguards are not adequate
4. Domestic abuse charities said the Bill is unsafe
5. Organisations representing disabled people said the Bill is unsafe
6. Royal College of GPs says the Bill lacks adequate safeguards
7. Lord Stevens, ex NHS CEO, said legislating for assisted dying in the current climate of hospice cuts is āutterly ridiculousā
8. MIND says the safeguards are not adequate
9. The CLADD group at KCL (DOI) have said the Bill is ānot fit for purposeā
10. The British Association of Social Workers say the Billās is not safe enough
Spot the pattern?

I was sad to see her letter actively mislead. She said the "official Impact Assessment examined it to ensure it was workable, effective, and enforceable". It did not come to that conclusion, and no minister has said it is in fit state. Nor will they say it is safe.

4 in 10 of your constituents want you to prioritise reducing immigration; almost as many want you to focus on reducing NHS waiting lists. Only 7% of your own constituents want you to prioritise assisted dying. (MRP poll of 10k voters)
Really pleased that my colleague Lauren Edwards is reintroducing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Terminally ill people deserve to have choice at the end of life, and Iām so pleased that Parliament will now have the ability to make a final decision on this Bill.

Where to even start with this, I mean there is nothing else major going on locally, nationally or internationally for us to deal with.
A big thank you to the āUnelected Minorityā in the Lords for doing their job in trying to make the first bill safe for the most vulnerable.

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.

This whole 'Vote Andy For Hope' shtick is really getting on my nerves. The only person who can give you hope is you. Outsourcing your hope to a third party means you have given away all your power. Anyone peddling this nonsense is a liar & snakeoil salesman.
