When my sister got a blood infection, doctors said she shouldn’t be treated. She nearly died because a doctor decided her life wasn’t worth saving. She didn’t die that day - because I fought for her care. Under this #AssistedDyingBill, others might not get that chance.

Brilliant letter in The Irish Times from Dr Jane Mahony on how Trinity College Dublin has rushed through a boycott of Israeli academic institutions that makes no sense while still maintaining links with countries with far worse human rights violations. Linda Doyle 𝑻𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒂 🇮🇪 🎗️🧡 Mark Humphrys

My latest spiked column:

Bel Mooney writes a powerful essay in today’s Daily Mail on the horror of Britain now permitting abortion up to birth. Bel supports early abortion but after 22 weeks a baby is capable of being born alive. Appalling that killing at 39 weeks is now acceptable

This appalling tragedy is not even registering in Irish mainstream media. Why are our journos deaf to these rotten crimes?

‘My 30-year-old daughter, Domenica, who has Down's syndrome – and loves life – is highly suggestible and would intuit what her interlocutor wanted to hear, without understanding what she would be agreeing to. Yet in law she has what is called 'capacity'.’ dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

Your clarification of "pregnant people" meaning "women", was not only evidently biologically correct, but also helpful in alerting pregnant women to the health advice being offered. Clear language is the essence of good communication. Bravo!

Fair play to President Macron - he does a very graceful handkiss (to the glamorous Queen of the Netherlands at the Nato summit in The Hague). The handkiss was what especially endeared Margaret Thatcher to Poland. it has a real place in diplomacy!

The F-word can be effective when used sparingly. Donald Trump’s fury at Israel was an example of a powerful use of swearing.

More people than ever are struggling to live on their current income - while just a third say they are living comfortably, according to new research. 🔗 Read more trib.al/Sqltd6V

Fair enough. N.Ireland citizens deserve the vote. The diaspora also should have a say in Presidential vote, although probably not in Dail/Seanad elections (no representation without taxation!)

Women made a huge contribution - Bletchley was run on female brains - but as women were also often modest about their achievements they didn’t always get the recognition - until now.

The tall leader of Albania (6’7”) is new to the game!
