I know and am not a member but had to compromise as we are in a (now Reform area) Fortunately my MP has broken ranks with the leadership several times and does support assisted dying which I campaign for, supports locals who are plagued by the hunt and abstained re. proscription of PA

I last voted for Greens in the locals and tactical voted to get Tory out and avoid Reform so Lib Dem.

The trouble with this type of propaganda is that it is children who suffer....would be better if natural selection polished off the older generation sometimes😢

The vast majority of the media are morally bankrupt and merely a tool for controlling populations, so whatever they say about groups of people is usually a nonsense. Nuance is dead, and conflating issues is king.

Sorry, I didn't realise he was a member of the Green Party

I was suggesting that had an independent like AF had stood the Green vote would be diminished

Possibly because a candidate like Andrew Feinstein wasn't standing?

My daughter works in a grade 1 neurorehabilitation unit. She says that a significant number of patients are victims of drivers ignoring pedestrian crossings (and many are injured by illegal electric bikes and scooters)

It's quite likely that the vote increase reflects the fact that Andrew Feinstein didn't stand so his votes (almost 19% of votes last time) were mopped up by the Greens.

I resigned from the party soon after ZP took centre stage as environmental issues seemed to become lost.

Chemotherapy causes me the most hideous mouth ulcers but have been drastically reduced by using Parla tablets (and never eating sharp foods like nuts)

A leader doesn't leave their party conference early. Time to step aside and leave the space for those wanting the environment to be front and centre stage when policy making.

I can't vote Green because of your current leader...he should have stayed until the end of the Green Conference.

Stop constantly slagging them off then. Find some common ground to slay Reform. Please

I think he made it clear that it wasn't a priority...that people who want a choice at the end of life are not his priority. I take it very personally, and am incredibly disappointed by the man who was a very fine mayor.

When considering the size of Dartmoor 2000 ha was hardly radical. I thought Wills was meant to be helping, or is that just the little slip (3ha) alongside Wistmans Wood by 2040? 🙄

MPs who did not support the bill have let down the majority of their constituents and have done nothing to make this country a kinder, more compassionate and civilised society. What a dreadful shame. Sending best wishes Tony.

How did your MP vote on the reintroduced assisted dying bill?
MPs today voted not to approve the assisted dying bill at its second reading. The bill, which was brought back to the Commons after being blocked in the Lords, would have allowed terminally ill people...

Thanks Lizzi. I am disabled and have stage 4 cancer. I have always clear with my oncologist about my intention to shorten the end of my life. I'm not suicidal just love life so much I want the end bit to be less grim.

I don't think Andy Burnham did us any favours...when I say 'us' I mean the vast majority of the electorate who want choice.

I am disabled, have a terminal disease and have excellent palliative care. I am a vulnerable person but I know my own mind. I will be joining the many people who are forced to take their own lives, alone.

I can't believed you weren't kind enough to vote for AD. How cruel.

Thank you Caroline. I'm a disabled person with a terminal disease and am shocked that issues have been conflated. I, and many others, will continue to take our own lives or have help abroad as most politicians don't care about us. Where is the compassion?

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Well all those people with terminal illness who take their own lives alone or in foreign clinics will carry on doing so. Where's the compassion and kindness? Democracy is dead.

Shame on parliament...I hope MPs who abstained and voted against never experience my likely ending.

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Thank you for your efforts Layla. The legislation was never going to help me have a civilised death but it would have been a comfort knowing that others wouldn't have to suffer a pretty awful ending.

Shame on them. I hope they never have to experience what awaits me.

I've given up on politics...hardly democratic is it?😢

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
I repeat. I am a disabled person and have a mind of my own. If AD isn't an option I will have to die alone using a method which isn't kind. Hundreds of people a year with terminal disease do this in the UK every year.

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
This bill only covers people with terminal disease...nothing to do with autism. You are conflating issues.

If the vote doesn't reflect public opinion then I will finally realise that our political system is unfit for purpose. Choice please.

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Thank you. I'm not well enough to be there. It would be such a relief to know that people will have choice at the end of their lives
000
marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
The majority of the public want the choice of AD if they have a terminal illness; seven people in an unelected chamber put a halt to this. Nobody can convince me that that's acceptable.

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
This is precisely why I will be dying sooner than I need to, and alone. I need to be well enough to drive (away from others) in order to shorten my death. I don't want friends and family to go through police investigations. So uncivilised.

So sorry for your loss Jane and that you have been left with traumatic memories. Thank you for speaking out for people like me. Sending love.

I hear you have been banned from Israel. I went to visit relatives and was disgusted by the aggression and racism encountered...best avoided by civilised people.

marjmar.bsky.social @marjmar.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
I'm waiting for MPs affiliated to Friends of Israel to condemn fellow MPs from all parties who have been banned from visiting Israel and for the closure of UK embassy.
