A child has been euthanised in the Netherlands for the first time, following an expansion of the law.
Belgium similarly expanded the law in 2014; Canada is considering it. Now, lobbyists want Britain to follow suit.
My latest for @unherd: unherd.com/newsroom/euthanas…
After changes to the criteria for assisted dying, a 12-year-old child has been euthanised in the Netherlands for the first time.
Could assisted-dying in Britain follow suit? @AdamPollock 👇

Can anyone genuinely explain why a pensioner who earns £34,999 per year should get their heating bills paid for by the government (and taxpayers)?
That is an income higher than 45% of full-time workers.
🚨 Do you support the Government's decision to restore Winter Fuel Payments to all pensioners earning £35,000 or less?

St Pancras railway station, London, built in 1868.
The past is a foreign country.
This is a recently completed British train station. It is pathetic, value engineered to a level of comatose ugliness that dispirits & dulls the mind, dissuading passengers & degrading the trains that run through it. It is not civic or sociable architecture....

You do not need an air fryer. You do not need a slow cooker. You do not need an instant pot.
All you need is a sharp knife, a wooden spoon, and a couple of good pots and pans. Invest your time in learning how to cook rather than your money in another gadget to plug in.
