I have multiple sclerosis. I am a risk consultant and tend to mitigate risks. I have therefore joined and been accepted by Dignitas and if ever life is unacceptable, I know I have a route out.

🚨BREAKING🚨
MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Labour do know it. This is the issue - people know that they are being disingenuous by parroting the same old tired rhetoric. The country needs immigration and this dehumanisation will only hurt the people the country rely on. It’s shocking.
What the Labour Party used to understand was that it wasn’t that immigration was tearing the country apart, but that immigration was what was holding the country together. Immigration kept our NHS going, our transport system going, our education and much more.
It’s still true. They must know it.
