I hope MPs will vote today to give power back to those who feel powerless at end of life. Yes we need better palliative care, but best chance of that is by passing this bill. Whatever happens, big shout out to

RT by @CarolineLucas: “Although I’m a great believer in hospice care, sadly there are limits to what palliative care can achieve.”
Hospice CEO Mark Jarman-Howe supports assisted dying because ‘it will make things safer, better and more compassionate for patients and families’ at the end of life.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The fur trade isn't only cruel. It's also a public health risk because of the way wild animals are caged & treated
Scientists warn that zoonotic diseases from fur farms could trigger the next pandemic
It's time for a #furfreeBritain

“I don’t believe anyone should be forced to endure terrible suffering that could be prevented, & I also believe in arguing for increases in resources …to help everyone to have the freedom to choose what their lives & deaths look like”

RT by @CarolineLucas: The words we use are so very important.
Dying people want to live. And they want to have autonomy at the very end.
This is NOT about suicide. The title of the bill: Terminally Ill Adults end of life bill.

RT by @CarolineLucas: This Friday, MPs will vote on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
This is a historic opportunity. MPs must remember that dying people are depending on them to do the right thing; to vote for choice, for safety, and for compassion.

The question is - raising tax on whom? Wealth tax, anyone?

Catherine Sonquist Forest, based in Santa Cruz where assisted dying was legalised eight years ago, says proposed British law is ‘impressive'.

RT by @CarolineLucas: I will be voting to progress the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and I spoke about it on BBC SE Politics. I’m touched by all those contacting me, and believe we need to fix the current law that leaves people making heartbreaking choices all alone and without support.

RT by @CarolineLucas: The ICC arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant and Mohammed Deif make clear that to continue selling arms to Israel is to aid and abet war crimes. It is utterly indefensible.
The Government must recognise that their approach to the war in Gaza has failed. They must consider far more direct measures to incentivise a ceasefire including an end to arms sales, the introduction of divestments, boycotts and sanctions, prosecutions for all those who have committed war crimes and a plan for a viable Palestinian state.

My thoughts are with John Prescott’s family & loved ones this morning. His impact on British politics was immense & he made a real difference to global climate action as one of the main architects of the Kyoto protocol. RIP

Evidence shows importance of greater access to nature, so cuts to England’s national parks are short-sighted & self-defeating. Instead Govt should reform them, give them a strong nature recovery focus & recognise their contribution to health & wellbeing

RT by @CarolineLucas: Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve are the new Co-Presidents of European Movement UK, leading a cross-party push to rebuild UK-EU ties.
With 23,000 members and a strong grassroots network, they aim to drive meaningful change for Britain’s future.

RT by @CarolineLucas: It was a privilege on Saturday to be elected co-President with Caroline Lucas of the U.K. European Movement.
We come from different political traditions but are united in believing that our country's wellbeing is dependant on rebuilding our relationships with our European neighbours who share our values. I look forward to working with Caroline and Mike Galsworthy it's Chair in furthering its work.
We were also given a rousing valedictory address by Michael Heseltine. His long career spans the entirety of the life of the EM since its foundation. It gives us confidence that the dismal consequences of Brexit for our country are a transient phenomenon that we can and will overcome.

Delighted to join Dominic as new Co-Presidents of European Movement. With election of Trump, it’s more urgent than ever that UK government puts its values before narrow short term economic interests, & rebuilds relationship with EU
