This is a bit embarrassing for Zack Polanski. Imagine being leader of the Green Party! 😂 #hereallweek #trytheveal

Earlier this week a group of us wrote to colleagues asking for a Lords time-limited select cttee on Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Glad it has now been agreed. Witnesses include those we asked for, e.g. Ministers who will implement this Bill & relevant professionals.

Ten things we learnt from the first Lords debate on the assisted suicide bill:
