This is spot on. There's very little sense right now in this debate about the balancing of harms. There's the possibility of that balance altering with a change. But there's also clear harm now that isn't being reckoned with.
I would really like there to be an acknowledgment of harms caused by all our legislation (and lack of legislation). A basic, respectful honesty.
Yes, if we change the law some vulnerable person will end up pressed into ending their life earlier. Yes, if we don’t change it, dying people will suffer

Brexit – an unwelcome truth
Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange

● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

I still don’t understand why Labour is cutting the winter fuel payments back in this stark manner
No problem at all with wealthy pensioners (I’m almost at that age now) who don’t need it not receiving it obviously
But for only those on Pension Credit to receive it .. is wrong

NEW: Tens of thousands of pensioners are expected to be driven into poverty by cuts to winter fuel payments, according to forecasts by DWP published today
The figures do not factor in the increased uptake of the pension credit benefit

There may well be farmers who deserve a fair hearing over Inheritance Tax. These do not include, however...

3. Anyone who voted for Brexit, because your stupidity, quite frankly, has fucked us all.
