Today (June 10) lawyers representing Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust have announced that the 34-year-old patient, known as ‘MSP’, has died in intensive care after having his life support removed.

The government is reportedly planning to suspend Sunday trading laws to boost the economy, while churches will only be allowed to open up for private prayer.

Christian Concern is calling for an urgent public inquiry into the ‘secretive’ court which authorises withdrawal of life-saving treatment from NHS patients. The appeal to the Justice Secretary, Rt Hon. Robert Buckland, was made after a judge ruled that a man in intensive care at Barnsley hospital should have his life support switched off, despite his last wishes stating that he wanted to receive the treatment needed to live.

High profile church leaders from some of the largest, fastest growing, and most diverse churches in the UK, have written to the government seeking urgent review of lockdown measures that uniformly ban churches from opening.

Last Tuesday 19 May, we exchanged the first shots in Christian Concern’s legal battle over the DIY home abortions suddenly authorised by the Department of Health on 30 March under the pretext of fighting Coronavirus.
