We believe in choice at the end of life. Including the option of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.

It has been a year since Chris Bryant voted in favour of the bill. I hope that support continues as the bill proceeds through the house of commons.

“The elected chamber has approved assisted dying and it has the support of most voters. It will be disgraceful if it fails to become law because it is “talked out” by a clique of unelected peers.” Great piece by @andrewrawnsley.bsky.social

Exactly. A minority of members of the house of Lords must not attempt to delay a Bill backed by the public and Commons.
Sabotage by the House of Lords. And the UK terminally ill will bear the brunt of their delaying tactics.
Shame on them.
Shame on them.
“Games are being played on an issue of such public importance...It is cruel and disrespectful to those who may not live to see the outcome.”

Peers’ delay of assisted dying bill ‘could lead to constitutional crisis’
Opponents are playing with fire with 1,100 amendments, critics say, as filibuster tactics to defeat Kim Leadbeater’s law ‘threaten the upper chamber’s future’

Alarm is growing in the Lords at a minority using undemocratic tactics to stall the assisted dying Bill.
1,100+ amendments – including a “grotesque” call to film every assisted death – aim to block progress, with risks to Lords reputation if they defy MPs' will.

We welcome the announcement of extra time in the New Year for full and fair debate on the assisted dying Bill.
This time must be used properly. This Bill deserves genuine scrutiny - not further procedural manoeuvres from a tiny minority intent on delaying and derailing it.

Shafaq is a professor of chronic pain, and has stage 4 cancer.
She knows the realities - and limits - of managing pain. And amongst the varied decisions she has to make about her care, she wants to make the decision that matters most - about how she dies.

I met with Dignity in Dying campaigners for the anniversary of the Assisted Dying Bill’s 2nd reading in Parliament.
I’m proud of the strong local campaign in Bath demanding this much needed law, with 83% of residents supporting it.
We must now ensure it continues to progress through the Lords.
