Lord, here are my hands
Place in them what you will
Remove from them what you will
Take them and lead me where you will
Your will be done, in everything.

The #REF2029 has called a #pause, so there's a delay in the publication of guidance modules. But the final submission deadline remains the same. Don't be tempted to stall - time to select and develop your front-running #impact case studies. Want any help? Email kristine.pommert(at)bulletin.co.uk.

I really hope that's true.

Listening to the Commons debate on the #AssistedDyingBill, I would invite MPs to consider that knowing there is a way out if life becomes unbearable may well enable terminally ill people to die naturally. I have seen it happening.
