New data shows that over 3,500 people may use assisted dying measures if they are introduced — 60% more than previously thought — as the facts change, so will public opinion | Adam James Pollock unherd.com/newsroom/rev...

🚨BREAKING BIG MOMENT! Burnham says assisted suicide debate should not take place until palliative & social care is properly funded. The PM is right, and his Labour MPs must now unite in opposition to the deeply divisive assisted suicide Bill & reject it at Second Reading.

UnHerd: Adam James Pollock explains why the euthanasia of a child under 12 in the Netherlands is a stark warning of how assisted dying laws expand, and why MPs must reject the British assisted suicide Bill before it is too late.

‘Everywhere that euthanasia has been made legal, attempts to expand the eligibility of the law have rapidly been made.’ | Adam James Pollock

If you think Lauren Edwards and this assisted suicide bill will protect vulnerable people or those with disabilities, it’s worth knowing this MP has a very coloured history of using ableist slurs

The perpetrator of last night’s attempted beheading in Belfast is reportedly an asylum seeker from Sudan. Years of discontent about immigration into Northern Ireland is now bubbling to the surface | Adam James Pollock

Hoping someone who has come high in PMB ballot might consider a Bill to ensure universal & fair access to palliative care. Desmond Swayne , Lauren Edwards MP @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social , Dr Luke Evans @drlukeevans.org.uk It would be something that unites the whole community. #PalliativeCareForAll

We're delighted that @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social is a staunch supporter of disability rights. We very much hope that she will not choose to bring forward an assisted dying bill which is opposed by every single disabled-led organisation in the UK.

Given @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social left Twitter over the use of an ableist slur, it would be a really bad look for her to bring back an assisted suicide Bill universally opposed by disability & learning disability groups, who’d be put at grave risk by the Bill.

Dear @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social As a community of disabled people across England, including your constituency, we hope you are not considering using your place in the ballot to table another Assisted Dying bill. This is just one reason why.

The Critic: Adam Pollock argues assisted dying just is another form of suicide, and, like all forms of suicide, it ought to be discouraged, not enabled by the state. https://thecritic.co.uk/rebranding-suicide/

On Wednesday, a British man was jailed for selling poisonous chemicals online to allow people to commit suicide. Will this remain illegal if the assisted dying bill becomes law? | Adam James Pollock unherd.com/newsroom/cou...
