It is 2 years since the unspeakable act of evil was perpetrated in Southport. The families and friends of Bebe, Elsie and Alice have shown such bravery and dignity since that horrific day. They are very much in my thoughts today, along with those 3 beautiful innocent girls❤️❤️❤️
Heartbreaking news. Elise was a truly inspirational campaigner. It was an honour to spend time with her during the passage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. She knew changing the law would be too late for her but she never gave up. All she wanted was choice❤️
Dignity in Dying@dignityindying.org.uk · 3w agoWe are devastated by the death of Elise Burns, a courageous, formidable and much-loved campaigner for assisted dying, who died in hospice with her mum and sister by her side on Wednesday 22 July.
Good luck to all the cyclists taking part in the 11th Jo Cox Way bike ride - a 290 mile journey from Yorkshire to London, bringing people together through cycling, remembering Jo, showing the very best of our country & raising money for @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social 🚴🏻♀️🚴🏾
Today marks a pivotal new chapter for our country. A new Prime Minister & many changes at the top of Government. Politics is a tough business, but I feel hopeful about what is to come. It has been a pleasure to work with Andy over the last decade & he has my full support.

Despite the heartbreak of last night, really good to hear the brilliant James Graham & Dame Tracey Crouch on BBC Radio4 Today reminding us of the enduring #PowerOfSport to bring us together, build national pride, unite communities & tackle loneliness.
Today, the Hillsborough Law passed the HoC. This Bill is for the 97 & their families, but it is also for every one of us. It is for the victims of Hillsborough, the Post Office Horizon scandal, Infected Blood scandal, Grenfell, Manchester Arena & others who deserve truth, accountability and justice.
Shocking news about the death of Ann Widdecombe and the subsequent arrest today. My thoughts are very much with Ann’s family and friends at what I know will be an unbelievably traumatic time.

Such positive news that the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will be reintroduced to Parliament to enable the House of Lords to finish the work they started in order to give dying people choice, compassion and dignity. Well done @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social ❤️

98 names. Not forgotten – finally found. On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings that helped secure Europe’s freedom – these names are added to the British Normandy Memorial. Every man is remembered. Each one is a hero. We shall never forget. #DDay
At the centre of the murder of Henry Nowak is a family who will feel immeasurable pain for the rest of their lives. Their response to their devastating loss has been dignified and courageous. They deserve answers and are very much in my thoughts, as is Henry.
Jenny wants choice. She has terminal cancer that has spread to her bones. She knows what pain could lie ahead. The assisted dying bill gives dying people hope. Hope that they won’t have to suffer. Hope that they can say goodbye to their loved ones on their own terms. MPs must bring this bill back.
Today is #EmergencyMedicineDay I pay tribute to the dedicated professionals working in A&Es across the UK who deliver life-saving care under immense pressure, and reaffirm a commitment to eliminate violence and abuse against NHS staff in all its forms #EMDay26
