This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week.
As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me.
His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵

If Rayner had set out to minimise her tax bill, she could have waited til her son turned 18 before buying the Hove house. She didn't because she wasn't trying to minimise her tax bill.

This is the right move. For so many reasons:
A tiny tax on people who will barely notice - £24bn a year to help fund Ukraine and keep up foreign aid - and so much more that’s crying out to be done right here in Britain.
All without putting any more on the shoulders of working people

Assisted Dying: If the aim of the Committee stage is - as has been repeatedly claimed - to ensure that the UK ends up with the safest possible legislation, then how is the bias inherent in this witness list possibly conducive to that end?

We don’t hear enough from psychiatrists in the assisted dying / suicide debate imo. Good piece by Prof @medaoh.bsky.social carefully deconstructing Kim Leadbeater’s Bill. Makes several very important points. t.co/jy6UorJIOZ
