Planning is about to start at #Hove Town Hall. It's not a big agenda but there are speakers for everything.
Cllr Liz Loughran is in the chair #LDreporter

Great start to the day

Thankfully my Dad didn't suffer in this way but cancer blocked his bowel. Horrendous discomfort and a loss of dignity on top of horrific pain.

My feed is dominated by the assisted dying debate at the moment. Not good for my teeth grinding.

Dentist done. Seems the stress of dealing with my Dad's cancer diagnosis, subsequent death and being his executor has resulted in teeth grinding and damage. Still at least at 53 I still don't have any fillings.

It comes as no surprise to see the i360 is going into administration.
The i360 is to file for administration still owing £51 million to the city, the council has announced

Latest update at the @labourlist.bsky.social tracker puts 74 Labour MPs in favour of assisted dying, with 43 against (with 88 undecided and roughly 200 who have not made a statement)

Thanks to my MP @siânberry.bsky.social for voting to progress.

I will share the end of my letter to her about my Dad.

"If he was my pet I would have sent him off four days earlier when he was ready to go.

"There was no hope of recovery. We just all wanted his pain to be over on his terms."
I will be voting to progress the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill and I spoke about it on BBC SE Politics. I’m touched by all the people contacting me, and we need to continue this debate to fix the current law that leaves people making heartbreaking choices all alone and without support.

Interesting points by @jamesrball.com worthy of debate. Is it time to change contempt law.
Re-upping this as it’s relevant again given Elon’s flurry overnight. It’s not an argument not to enforce contempt now – but it is a call for it to be reformed, as it’s currently working against the interests of justice and of transparency, while boosting the far-right.
The incredibly viral stuff related to Keir Starmer and the Southport killers being pushed by far-right influencers on X is reaching a huge audience, and has the potential to be really dangerous.

Mainstream media shouldn't ignore the claims – but contempt laws may force us to do so. 🧵

I play the Tom and Jerry theme in the style of the Russian classics.

It’s been that kind of week.

Hello, this is me not on work mode. I may share amusing things or sad things. Sometimes I may express an opinion. But that's rare.
