'Doctors, charities and MPs' are not the primary providers of end of life care. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask nurses who actually do this work or thought to address the 50% loss of district nurses

After Friday's historic vote in Parliament to legalise the choice of assisted dying, it is equally important to improve access to hospice and palliative care - so this announcement is very welcome!

Nice to see @Bluesky is free from the reaches of a disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm designed to censor news. Its refreshing to return to much needed debate without being drowned by mean people who encourage and celebrate ignorance.
