tomorrow MPs will have their final vote on Leadbeater's assisted suicide bill. devoid of countless promised safeguards, and alongside other brutal gov't cuts to palliative care, healthcare + welfare, it represents a huge expansion of social murder against disabled ppl especially some quotes below 🧵

At the exact same time as Downing St gives the green light and support to a Bill to force the NHS to offer euthanasia to its dying patients, the Government fails to fund palliative and end-of-life care for those same patients. Frankly, this is dystopian. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
