Patrick is Emeritus Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at LSE. If you’ve studied policy making and British politics in the last 25 years you’ll have come across him. This is his view on the legislative process for the Assisted Dying/Suicide bill
Patrick Dunleavy@PJDunleavy26 Feb 2025
This is what “railroading” legislation means. You fillet the witness list to exclude anybody negative. You vote down every single amendment - not even tiny changes. And voila, an oven-ready policy fiasco is ready to swing into disastrous action.

Silence from twitter activists Silence from Human rights charities Silence from anyone not Jewish If yesterday doesn't make people care about the suffering of Jews, nothing will thejc.com/opinion/if-the-bod…

If the bodies of babies can’t make the world care about Jewish lives, nothing can - The Jewish...

It is not the silence itself that is earth-shattering. It is the decision to be silent about this, but not of other’s suffering.

An important thread here on domestic abuse and assisted suicide. Not one I think that can be written off as “noise”.
Prof Jane Monckton Smith OBE@JMoncktonSmith14 Feb 2025
Assisted dying bill: thread 1. The most common predictors that a homicide had been staged as something else: the victim is suffering domestic abuse; the homicide is staged as a suicide; the controlling partner finds the body or is at the scene. This is research.

Twice MPs asked for the British Geriatrics Society to be called to give evidence. Twice the Committee refused. They said there was no time. But next week is now completely clear. Is 30 minutes too much to ask?

Older people make up the majority of those dying each year. The BGS is concerned about the lack of representation from older people’s healthcare specialists and older people themselves on the witness list for the Assisted Dying Bill - @JKDhesi buff.ly/4hyR0wW

We’re still seeing the new footage of the Washington air crash over and over again on TV. We’re watching the point of death of identifiable people. It will be causing untold distress to loved ones and friends. This was a hard lesson learned after 9/11.

Danny Kruger MP (@danny__kruger) shares in graphic detail the potentially horrific experience that some people may go through when they end their lives through assisted suicide. This is vital information that MPs considering this Bill should surely know about. Yet, the expert that Leadbeater chose to present evidence on this appears to know very little about this critical area.

As a doctor in the NHS I can categorically tell you that you CANNOT, especially now, trust this service to implement a suicide service safely and responsibly. Do whatever you can to oppose this hideous and catastrophic bill.

Listen in terrible moments to people that have done the job for decades not theorists
Robert A. Jensen@Robert_AJensen30 Jan 2025
Speculation, won’t help. Crisis communications is not PR; it is families getting honest &!direct information before anyone else. Once the operation moves from rescue to recovery, that action is coordinated, all follow the NTSB & Aviation Disaster Family Assistance Act. #AA5342

DC, Virgnia, Maryland Chief Medical Examiners, as well as the Armed Forces Medical Examiner should be meeting and deciding which one of their departments will take the lead, and then gearing up. Families will want to know and see action. #AA5342 #DCA

What to expect - look at response to loss of UA 736 & USAF fighter in 1958, near Las Vegas & the loss of Hughes Airwest Flight 706 & USMC F4 in 1971, near Duarte (Los Angles County). Both resulted in significant changes for civilian & military flight operations. #AA5342

Thank you to those who contacted me to get me to clarify the law on Southport survivors talking to the press I have. You can. No paywall, as a small gesture of respect open.substack.com/pub/sbarre…
