World Cancer Day 2025. 🤩 I had the privilege of spending the evening with some of the most inspiring scientists, supporters, and staff in the historic setting of the UK House of Lords. I can't quite believe that this is actually my ‘job’.

This is a significant moment with the #AssistedDying bill being passed. This is just the start of the conversation, with so much to figure out. I hope they bring in the Hospice sector early to consider the impact and viable options.

When the legendary @pauldegregorio.bsky.social tells you it's time to go, it's time to go. Bye, #X. I'm all yours, @bsky.app.

Is anyone else still actively using 'X' but feeling uneasy about whether it's finally time to abandon ship for good?

Concerns about NI increases are troubling many charities, and it seems there is little willingness from the government to exclude them from the increase.

I am so honoured to be a trustee for my local hospice. Hospices face uncertain futures due to rising costs & inadequate funding. However, I’m inspired by the executive team's resolve & the dedication of our staff, donors, & volunteers. Hospices are extraordinary places that must be protected.

I understand that it is the role of politicians to represent their constituencies. However, should the public have a direct say on a significant topic like assisted dying? #assisteddying

No one does it as well as @lewisgoodall.com, and more people like @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social are needed in politics.

A great evening at the Francis Crick Institute, hearing about the incredible research happening.
