Tragic. Nobody deserves to continue to suffer because of their government

Gutted. Good riddance to this lot in May. It has been debated for 20 years. The risks do not outweigh the benefits!

It's a shame that Westminster rejected theirs tbh. It seemed to have promise there and it would have covered the entire country

Westminster still debating, there is a chance that they get it in in time. But it isn't looking good

It's a shame, I don't get why they decided to torpedo a bill with such widespread public support

Edit: oh, it's the lords blocking it
