Impressive work by @uoedivinity PhD student @arthur_rankin in the IJST. 🔥
Finally got around to reading this, which is apropos given that I'm writing a chapter on demons. @arthur_rankin 's essay is not only informative, it is also an almost ideal journal article - exemplary in dealing with both primary and secondary sources. Its also open access: 👇

I wonder if pro-AS MPs who used this reasoning (i.e. I recognise the risk to others but want this as an option for myself even if never use it & my choice is worth that risk to them) are revisiting that logic, given Leadbeater committee's conduct toward @DisRightsUK & @GeriSoc?
Here is an open letter to the constituents of Stirling and Strathallan, on my decision on today's vote. I understand that there may be some who want to follow up with me on this issue, if that is the case please do not hesitate to email me at chris.kane.mp@parliament.uk

Write to your MP. It makes a difference, 👇🏻
This is the difference you can make writing to your MP. Show them what's happening in the #AssistedDyingBill Committee. And what is not. Ask them to reflect on whether this approach will lead to safe legislation.

Lots for MPs to think about from @VictoriaPeckham in @thetimes. The Just Get Brexit Done comparison is good, though AS is a far bigger change than Brexit. A future inquiry into AS will look at unjust deaths, and will ask very different questions of today’s AS-at-any-cost MPs.
Dash for assisted dying ignores palliative care Good article by @VictoriaPeckham - in which she points out that palliative care is so underprioritised that NICE recommendations made more than a decade ago have still not been implemented.
