MPs voting on Friday need to watch this. This gets to the heart of the first vote on NC16 - this Bill doesn't care why someone wants to end their life - and the complete exclusion of family from the process (MPs have signed that off already) credit: No Way Back





"There are not enough psychiatrists to do what the Bill requires": Royal College of Psychiatrists Yet the Bill will come into force in 4 years come what may I can't see how MPs can vote for the Bill in those circumstances. It's just not workable



🚨"I'm a legislator for the people who don't have a voice. I'm so struck by some of my colleagues, particularly the black women on our side of the chamber, who've spoken up about their anxieties for... those who are often marginalised and demeaned" Polly Billington for East Thanet



.Kim Leadbeater MBE MP you are misleading the House before today’s vote. You know the Royal College of Psychiatry - the experts in capacity & coercion - has explicitly opposed your bill. It breaks my heart that you would use a sleight of hand to mislead MPs and the public in this way.


"This is the 3rd reading... Now we have to decide whether we should send this unworkable piece of legislation to the other place, which is unelected, to make decisions for us, because we are unable to come to a conclusion. We can't let this go through" Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green #AssistedDying
