Somewhat numerate on a good day. Unpaid carer. Covid cautious, it’s not over. We only have one planet, our only home. Tweets all IMO. No evidence provided - sometimes you have to rely on gut feel. In UK. No DMs

Leaf blowers. What is that all about? Kicking the can (or leaf) down the road for instant gratification? News flash: they keep coming back, folks, unless you do the job properly.

There’s a scene in Round the World In 80 Days where Phileas Fogg is on a boat and is told that they have to turn back because of lack of fuel. So he buys the boat and gets it dismantled so they can throw the wood into engine room to keep moving forward.
This js a metaphor for everything right now.

He makes a very good point. When you see people dying in TV dramas they usually look well nourished and slip away gently. That's how most people imagine death will be. The true horror of many deaths is rarely talked about and never seen in drama.

I can promise you, when you are going through this with a family member, eroding family assets is the last thing on your mind. What is on your mind is their suffering and the lack of medical help. Especially when they have signed a DNA.
Abbot now makes what I think is the strongest argument against the bill. She talks about people who worry that "assets they had hoped to leave for their grandchildren are being eroded by the cost of care" and "there will even be a handful who think they should not be taking up a hospital bed".

OK we're off. The Speaker has *not* selected a wrecking amendment, which would have effectively killed the debate. Good. This matter can be rejected or accepted it shouldn't be denied.

To all those MPs voting against the assisted dying bill, have you actually witnessed a relative going through a lingering death? I agree that there needs to be more research and the bill is being rushed through too quickly but this subject cannot be hidden away.

I experienced bitter failure recently but here are some words that help:
