I know you have a lot on your plate right now @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but this is desperately urgent. Please Please fix this before more lives are lost
Thank you for sharing Peter
Whatever your politics this is a campaign that we all need to support. It’s heartbreaking and desperately urgent for the women involved. If you share one thing today please make it this🙏
Enhertu is giving women more time in Scotland and around the world.
But NICE denied it in England, Wales & NI, saying we’re not “cost effective.”
We’ve lost friends waiting.
As of April 2026, the money is now there. We need to drug companies to resubmit Enhertu immediately.

A petition has been started by assisted dying campaigner Sophie Blake - who has incurable secondary breast cancer - to stop the Lords from frustrating bills approved by MPs.
Peers are currently debating the assisted dying bill at a snail’s pace.

I’ve taken on this petition for my dear friend Nat who sadly passed before it was launched. Please sign and share.
Nat was an extraordinary campaigner who died of terminal cancer last week.
His friend Sophie Blake promised to carry on his fight for dignity in death - and today launched a petition to stop the assisted dying Bill being blocked or delayed.

We respect the Government's neutrality on the Bill - but we are grateful that this suggests they will not be neutral on the democratic process.
We need to keep up the pressure to ensure democracy is upheld. Add your name:

BREAKING: Yesterday the Leader of the House of Commons Sir Alan Campbell confirmed that he “will find time to progress” the assisted dying Bill should it be blocked in the House of Lords and need to return in the next parliamentary session.

Emotional evening with @macmillancancer.bsky.social & the family of the inspirational Nat Dye on #WorldCancerDay Brilliant comedy from @matt-forde.bsky.social & Rhod Gilbert, powerful stories of cancer journeys from colleagues & beautiful singing. So poignant to remember Nat in this way❤️
Thank you for all the support @peterstefanovic.bsky.social
I’ll get myself more active over here 🩷
This is so important and must be fixed. @sophierblake.bsky.social is one of the most courageous and compassionate campaigners I know. Please share and give her a follow on BlueSky 🙏

“I can’t imagine a committee hearing for any other bill not having representatives from… the people this bill will actually impact.”
Sophie, a mum with incurable cancer, is disappointed the Lords Committee on assisted dying didn’t hear from terminally ill people. Peers must hear from people like her
“There’s no dignity in dying a death so shrouded in pain.”
Poppy’s mum’s final days with pancreatic cancer were harrowing. Now Poppy’s fighting for change in her mum’s memory.

“Don’t try and sabotage democracy.”
Dame Esther Rantzen notes that a flood of 1000+ amendments goes beyond scrutiny. It risks subverting the elected chamber and weakening trust in parliamentary process. The Commons has twice endorsed this Bill - Peers should respect that democratic decision.
“If they continue to push against the expressed will of the democratic majority, the Lords may find that it is their own future which becomes the question.”
Christine Jardine MP joins many arguing that time-wasting tactics risk tarnishing the House's reputation.

During PMQs, Keir Starmer indicated that it would be wrong for the Lords to use delaying tactics to block the assisted dying Bill.
The public overwhelmingly supports choice at the end of life - a small number of longstanding opponents must not block this Bill.
“I’m doing everything I can to stay alive.”
Sophie is fighting for access to life-extending drugs, and for the right to choose how her story ends.
She wants to be here for her daughter, to fight for more time, and to ensure her death, when it comes, is dignified and without suffering.
@kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social says it plainly: when the law concerns dying people, we must hear from them and their families. They know best why change is needed - no loved one should face grief and the fear of prosecution, and no dying person should be forced to suffer against their wishes.
"Show those suffering that you will not stand by while an outdated law forces them to endure unbearable pain against their wishes."
