Bill would allow terminally ill adults with less than six months to live to end their lives, after the approval of a panel of expertsWhile the debate continues, we have a comment from Sam Royston, executive director of research and policy at Marie Curie. He said the government must address the crisis in palliative care regardless of what happens with assisted dying, calling for a new framework and funding to ensure everyone has access to compassionate end-of-life care.He said:Whatever happens with assisted dying, the UK government must fix the crisis in palliative care.It is devastating that nearly one in three people die without the help they need. Too many spend their final days in pain or on busy, chaotic hospital wards, while families are left fighting for help instead of spending time with the people they love.I think it’s absolutely right that, for instance, the prime minister and the government have said that improving palliative care must be a priority for him and his government. I think that’s something that we can all support.I think everybody should have access to good quality palliative and hospice end-of-life care at their final moment.” Continue reading...

IMF sees 3% global growth in 2026, warns of high risks

#cost of living #crisis #energy #fund #gas #gas price #Gas prices #global growth #Middle East #oil #prices #war #Washington #weather

WASHINGTON — The IMF said on Thursday the global economy had weathered the energy shock caused by the war in the Middle East better than feared and global economic output was still expected to expand by about 3 percent in 2026, but it cautioned that risks remained high. Julie Kozack, spokesperson for the International Monetary Fund, said oil and gas prices remained elevated and the energy shock from the war was not over. Global debt pressures were also mounting and the disinflation process over the 2022 cost of living crisis had stalled. Global inflationary expectations have risen but remain well-anchored over the longer run, Kozack told a regular IMF briefing. "So far, despite six months of war in the Middle East, the global economy has been resilient," Kozack said, adding that the use of oil and gas reserves had allowed some countries to cope with energy shocks caused by the war, while others had shifted to new energy sources or acted to curb demand. "We remain on track for world growth of around 3 percent but uncertainty, as we've been saying for quite some time, continues to remain
