Such an important article by @doctoroxford.bsky.social having worked with people with MND for many years & lobbied on end of life care we have to break the taboo of death & dying. We need to change the language - even the media seems paralysed by fear & unable to use words like ‘death’ & ‘dying’
My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social
& Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?

Good palliative care can alleviate the pain of dying – this bill means Labour must fund it | Rachel Clarke
Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients
