I call it disability support too. & I go for the #KillTheIllBill for Assisted Dying. Say what it is rather than hiding behind Good Death narratives, which are a myth. I've read heartbreaking stories of people in extreme, prolonged pain: 7.6% over 6 hrs, in Oregon pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
You can check when your next local election is & where your polling station is, using this website www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter... The May 1st election is the ideal opportunity to show Labour what #disabled people & our allies think of the cuts they've proposed (& the #KillTheIllBill)
We have an ageing population, but if Labour MPS show their ethics by allowing cuts to #disability benefits, and the #KillTheIllBill to go through, I fear they may propose a new way to ensure that The Workers are supported & don't have to support 'unnecessary burdens'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=USAD...
If the Labour benefit cuts & #KillTheIllBill go through (aka #AssistedDying: what about #AssistedLiving instead? Too many terminally ill people are depressed with little help & not enough palliative care/carer support) what's next for Labour? A new National Lottery? www.newyorker.com/magazine/194...
Yay! I have too, & on Bluesky publicly, to hold him to account. Turns out he's also one of the people behind the euphemistically entitled Assisted Dying bill (the #KillTheIllBill). He seems pro-sustainability/taxing rich so it's galling he doesn't seem to care about disabled people. Hope he responds
