Absolutely awe inspired by @ellieokwilson.bsky.social on Sky News articulating with absolute clarity on placing the shame and stigma of SA at the door of the perpetrators. Keep going Ellie. 💪

I would like people who talk about death "with dignity" to examine how appallingly ableist the notion of "dignity" often is; how often it means the ability to eat and use the toilet unaided; how rarely it means anything other than ways of being that are normal for some disabled people.

And so it begins. And rightly so. If you follow this rapist or his brands, now is the time to unfollow them… #BoycottConorMcGregor

🧵 Whatever your views on assisted dying, I always assumed we’d all agree that the topic is ethically fraught & complex. Not so Matthew Parris. For him, it’s simple. Earlier this year, he argued that old & frail people *should* be killed - to save society the cost of looking after them. 1/n

The Assisted Dying bill currently before Parliament makes worrying reading. Here's a reminder about the gaps in services recently identified by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome & Death, for people with limited life expectancy. The timing of this bill is simply wrong.

Proud to have taken part in ITV's timely investigation into the crisis in hospice funding. The film airs the night before MPs will vote on the AD bill. I hope every one of them will watch it to see how appallingly the NHS currently fails dying patients through dire funding of palliative care 😔

I have a new webinar coming up next Thursday on teens and anxiety. It’s for all parents of teens, with and without a diagnosis. It’s suitable for ages from puberty upwards. Please share if you know parents with anxious teens. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/helping-yo...

🎅 🐾 We've booked our cute golden retriever into Santa's Grotto at the Garden Centre and I've never felt more middle class. Need to shake that nonsense off and get back to my roots!
