I voted FOR the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. As did all of Cornwall’s MPs. I managed to speak briefly in the early exchanges. The Bill strikes the right and responsible balance. I don’t perceive a risk of a so-called “slippery-slope”, as any proposed change will require new primary legislation. I also don’t […]

The US President-elect told the world “God saved me for a purpose”, when referring back to the assassination attempt last July.
