Evidence from New Zealand shows that families felt gratitude and relief when their loved ones were no longer forced into drawn-out suffering, and they no longer had to witness it. #AssistedDying

Professor Chris Whitty reminds us that end-of-life choices aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some want every extra day, others want comfort and dignity for fewer days. Both choices deserve equal respect. #AssistedDying

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

In case you missed it: Religious Education (RE) will officially join the National Curriculum in England, expected to be fully inclusive of humanism. A huge victory for broad, balanced, and pluralistic education to help children explore and discover their own beliefs. humanists.uk/2025/11/05/s...

Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #RemembranceSunday🧵
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

Ask people what changes were most significant during the 1960s and you usually hear about the counterculture and the sexual revolution. In reality the major change for many families was getting an indoor toilet.
It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

She's feeling better - she's critiquing a Minion's short for having dinosaurs and humans at the same time.
Also, apparently the 7yo sicking on me 😬
A day mostly of remembrance and respect, but also having abuse screamed at me by people who apparently think using foul language at a remembrance service (and in front of small children) makes them the best patriots ever.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.
This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.
Except... it's bollocks.

We will remember everyone.
Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too.
We will remember their sacrifice.
We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London's air pollution within legal limits.
Due to our policies, we've done it in 9.
In Brazil this week, we showed that cities are giving the world reason to hope when it comes to tackling the climate emergency.
