Maybe this is the response this article was intended to elicit… but *seriously*?! Wonder what the many powerful women in politics, economics, foreign affairs and security feel about it? @RachelReevesMP @KemiBadenoch @YvetteCooperMP @pritipatel @ChiefMI6

1. This statement contains several inaccurate or confused claims. First, Edwards says the bill is only for those “at the very end of their lives.” But the bill’s “6-month prognosis” criterion is very broad: 1 in 5 of those eligible will actually have at least 3 years to live.

Labour entered government and ⬇️hiked employers National Insurance ⬇️hiked the minimum wage ⬇️loaded new regulations on businesses The result? Employers stopped hiring young people. @Conservatives will listen to business, back more apprenticeships and reduce tax and red tape.
