#bbcaq Can't we have better palliative care as well as assisted dying? Let dying people choose how they want the end of their life to be.

It’s just a diversion to say there’s not been enough debate. As the caller says we’ve been debating this forever - and Parliamentary bills do not pass on one vote, there are many stages. I think MPs and peers need to finally bite the bullet and get on with it. #bbcaq

Come on Paddy, don’t be patronising. How do you know what the American people voted for? Surely not a bunch of nutters running government departments… #Newsnight

There is no shortage of UK infrastructure projects for pension funds. It is ridiculous that our public funds invest much of their money abroad. This is a good reform - especially if we also create city investment partnerships to link pensions and other funds to projects. #r4today
