A very thoughtful interview with the wonderful Kim Leadbetter. @lewisgoodall.com put it so eloquently, and I agree - whatever your political views & your own thoughts about assisted dying, we need more people like Kim in politics - compassionate, listening, balanced. Thank you Lewis & co. - ThreadSky

Kim is very impressive

I’ve chosen to not listen to a single political podcast since Trump’s win, for my own mental health, but this may pull me back in…

Kim Leadbeater is also a liar. She said she'd spent her pre-politics life in the NHS. She was a part time lecturer at Bradford College and personal trainer. We really DON'T need more liars in politics.

No, this legislation is very crudely thought out. Take a step back from your privileged position and think about how this scenario would play out amongst the poor and desperate.

This discourse, more than any, requires listening, not telling others how to think & behave.

Good one coming from people who block replies to their Tweets to block debate. Ledbetter has been appallingly throughout.

Every single organisation representing disabled people is opposed to it. Who is listening to them?

For what is worth I support assisted dying for those with terminal illness's if that is their wish. No doudt the MP's will vote against it.

Thanks so much for listening Alice

I never miss it. Best news digest anywhere. Brilliant interviews. Thank you for your fearless journalism. We need it more than ever!

davidscottbrown.bsky.social•94 days ago

Agreed. They are all brilliant!

grahamxroy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Oh yes, now they are freed from the shackles of the BBC they are free to do what they do best.

Ah so kind Alice!

Just catching up on yesterday’s very serious offering - with a brilliant laugh-out-loud moment! “The idea that he’s got to T… seems unlikely”!

Completely agree some of the horrible deaths that people have had is shameful. Not only do they have painful deaths families are left traumatised. I wish my mother-in-law could have had a larger dose of morphine 48 hrs before she died would have made it so much less traumatic for this who watched.

Agree. I wish she was my MP. Unfortunately I still have a Tory and now he's some sort of defence spokesperson.

You say eloquent, many would say garrulous. I say he’s just an educated northerner.
