Charity leader - South London boy now living on the Isle of Wight
The general public support the assisted dying bill, it was passed by a majority of our representatives in the HoC. If this bill is frustrated by the unelected second chamber it should mark the point where we take a real look at how “democracy” in the UK works www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Peers to mount fresh offensive to halt assisted dying bill
More than half of the 942 amendments have been tabled by seven lords in move which could filibuster legislation

This is racism, and it should be called out as such.

Twelve years ago today I lost my friend.

Today I’m going to reflect on the many many happy times, and great adventures we had, while I also use this anniversary to share the ever important message that however dark it feels you are loved and would be missed. Please stay. Samaritans 116123.

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether

The Isle of Wight may now be where I live, but London will always be home - thank you Sadiq @london.gov.uk
In London, hate will never win.

At the risk of sounding like a government spokesperson, I wonder if we're too gloomy. NHS waiting times are falling, as are net migration numbers. Growth hasn't been fast, but it's improved. Real wages are growing. Inflation is a bit sticky, but much reduced.

What an amazing evening last night was.

Go and see Ocean, take your friends, family, kids.

Change is possible and there is hope. To quote the legend that is David Attenborough “if we save the sea we save our world. After a lifetime of filming our planet I’m sure nothing is more important”

What mental illnesses are being ‘over diagnosed’ and who by? And what effect is that supposedly having on claims for PIP which uses a functional not diagnostic test? It’s so important that public & political debates about mental health, illness and social security are informed by robust evidence

Been a lot in the news today about the new AI tool Deepseek, we need to start asking more questions and being more curious about letting the Chinese government and the oligarchs in the US control the information available to us

To absent friends
To those we have met
To those we have yet to meet
To those who have left us for a while
and to those who have left us forever

Let us lift our glasses
and drink a toast
That they may abide in our hearts forever.....

Love to you all x

As a country we deserve so much better than this undemocratic system of political favours as the process of how to elect or appoint a second chamber
