Why didn’t Professor Chris Whitty appear in person emphatically to correct his evidence to the committee on how the Mental Capacity Act operates? What impact did his mistaken evidence have on MPs?

Most who get assisted deaths overseas are 60+. But staggering numbers of them suffer domestic abuse - society has only newly paid mind to this. We warn govt that 1 in 7 of the people assisted to die could be recent victims of abuse: 631 people a year. BUT dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

The Speaker has confirmed that only five 'non Kim' amendments will be voted on on Friday. All these elements of the Bill are now permanent. A 'yes' vote at Third Reading is to accept: 🚨Any doctor can raise ending a patient's life, no matter how vulnerable the patient,

The mixture of smugness, passive aggression, performative #BeKind while also being extremely rude and dismissive of journalists considered "hostile". Also ironic because it's clear Janet and the experts she cites understand the Bill a lot better than Kim, the actual sponsor, does

Some amazing work has been done on the Assisted Suicide / euthanasia bill. This podcast is particularly good, alongside work by Barbara Rich, Nikki da Costa, Yuan Yi Zhu, and many others. (links below)

Annually, ~130 UK women are probably murdered by a partner/relative but have their deaths recorded as suicide or an accident. Assisted dying would open the floodgates for more fatal domestic abuse. Jess Asato MP

Excellent commentary from ⁦Mark Elliott⁩, rejecting the argument that “it would be undemocratic or otherwise constitutionally improper for the Lords to vote down the [Terminally Ill Adults] Bill”. publiclawforeveryone.com/2025/06/20/wou…
