A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

So proud to see this bill go through! Congratulations to our friends @dignityindying.org.uk- we’re now a step closer to people having greater choice at the end of their life. Centre will now start working on our submission to the bill committee- so if anyone wants to talk on this, let me know.

The assisted dying bill has passed its first major hurdle in the House of Commons. This is a step towards greater choice at the end of life. @dignityindying.org.uk

Whilst this is good news, I’d also like to see government focus on the health of spiking, and how we can increase the capacity of spiking tests/supporting victims. I was spiked in the Parliamentary bar last year, which shows more police presence isn’t everything. www.thesun.co.uk/news/3190832...

Some MPs opposed to assisted dying bill have raised questions on drafting & whether it is sufficiently watertight. Turns out it was drafted by Dame Elizabeth Gardiner, who retired this year after almost a decade as first parliamentary counsel, govt's top legislative drafter.

Excellent column. Public engagement could have been better but the politicians involved can be proud of spending political capital to save lives. “Evidence-based policy does work, but you have to own it, explain it and stay the course. It costs political capital, and politicians need to be brave”

There’s one of young me that’s super cringe- so don’t listen to that one 😭

Yesterday, there was a major change in the criminal justice system that’s largely sneaked under the radar: the doubling of magistrates’ court sentencing powers. What does that actually mean, and is it good or bad?

I love how starter packs have reduced in scope as they’ve proliferated a few weeks ago it was like “Members of NATO” and now it’s “boys only on the third table from the left of the right hand window in my GCSE history class”

Exciting to see that assisting dying could feasibly be passed by this Parliament. There’s some detail that needs to be worked out by the department of health and chief medical officer, which is laid out in the bills provisions, so it’ll be interesting to see how the process works if enacted.

Love all these starter packs, but also my feed so cluttered already 😭 Bluesky feels very chaotic- wondering how this will play out in the long term!

Would read a novel about a writer who gets included in a Starter Pack with a load of other writers he considers inferior.

I’m seeing more people from different political camps on here and other platforms now. Which is great. As I said to @zoecrowther.bsky.social, this shouldn’t be an echo chamber, we need to have good arguments, not foul ones. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
