Those religious people and lobbyists in full:
Wow: In her interview with us on Sky News just now, Esther Rantzen hit out at “religious people” and “lobbyists” for meaning the assisted dying bill is set to fail

Yesterday I was listening to music and my son came in and I said “with classical music there’s Bach and then there’s everyone else” He said “that’s so Partridge”. I felt a strange mixture of humiliation and paternal pride, which I don’t think there’s even a German word for.

Gas a granny but protect a porker: what an absolutely morally bankrupt ruling class we have.

They are prohibiting the use of CO2 in the slaughter of pigs, but under the assisted dying bill (which the Government have been covertly pushing), CO2 can still be an acceptable approved substance to kill a human being.
🚨 NEW: The Government is set to announce the "biggest animal welfare reforms" in a generation
- Ban puppy farming by reforming dog breeding rules
- Ban electric shock collars on pets pending a consultation
- Ban trail hunting amid concerns it is being used as a smokescreen for illegal fox hunting
- Introduce humane slaughter rules for farmed fish to prevent avoidable pain during killing
- Phase out colony cages for laying hens, which restrict movement and natural behaviours like nesting and perching, and pig farrowing crates, which confine mother pigs and stop them turning around after giving birth
- Ban snare traps that can catch pets and cause suffering for animals
- Reform the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs after evidence it causes distress and suffering
- Ban shooting hares during the breeding season (roughly from February to September) so young hares are not left without mothers

I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.

With the paywall down, I thought I’d reshare this one from last week about Ash Wednesday and my unexpected midlife enthusiasm for churchgoing…

Sir Edward Elgar died today in 1934
He is buried beside his wife Alice in St Wulstan's churchyard Malvern of whom he said 'All I have done was owing to her'
The Malvern Hills nearby inspired him to say 'Music is in the air all around you; you just take as much as you want'

‘O for a 1000 tongues to sing’ was our final hymn on Saturday morning’s ordination- proving prophetic as there were more than a 1000 present to encourage the 27 men and women as they step out into a lifetime of Christian service

A very happy Christmas from us all at St Andrew’s Cathedral- here we are about to enter for the 10am service this morning.

Lies! You surely know:
a) Safeguards aren't real!
b) Accurate 6mth prognosis has a 68% failure rate
c) Autopsies reveal a 40% misdiagnosis rate
d) >350 Disability groups oppose it?
e) Once informed of details, only 11% of public support it.
f) Coercion/Slippery Slope inevitable?

Well that didn’t take long… On my way home and the assisted suicide propaganda has been covered up with suicide prevention posters. Love it! 💚
Ross Cobb retweeted
If the bill does pass we will soon have a national suicide service fully funded by the NHS, while palliative care is 30% funded, at best.
