It's no coincidence that under an openly pro assisted suicide prime minister in Starmer, there was a concerted push to legalise doctor assisted suicide with Leadbeater, Falconer & then Edwards to front it. There was a very clear desperation to get it over the line while he was PM
Dignity in Dying CEO says ‘the major factor’ for Labour MPs ‘staying away’ from last week’s Assisted Dying vote was ‘the signal sent by the PM Andy Burnham at the end of July’
Sarah Wootton criticises Burnham for ‘saying palliative care should be fixed before assisted dying is legalised’
She also criticises the likes of Lou Haigh and John Healey for not voting this time round (she notes some had work-related visits)

📈 Who’s really driving GI & liver research in England?
🔹 853 GI/hepatology studies, 243k+ participants
🔹 Secondary care now matches tertiary centres in volume of GI research
🔹 But hepatology remains locked in specialist hubs (71% tertiary)
🔹 IBD dominates — other conditions underrepresented
🔹 COVID exposed fragility outside major centres

An important study comparing recruitment in Gastro & hep between secondary and tertiary centres.
Some expected results and some surprises.
But the key point for me: be inclusive and diversify study trial designs.
