10. To conclude: if you want accurate information on the bill, you have to look at the briefings from the Royal Colleges, legislative experts like Nikki da Costa, written evidence, MPs with integrity, etc. The bill sponsor is simply not a reliable source. x.com/nmdacosta/stat…

Only societies which put a greater value on personal choice rather than protecting the vulnerable would enact a bad Bill like this one. Dominic Lawson spells out the implications.

“When advocates for assisted dying argue that it is a lack of compassion that drives caretakers like me to oppose their agenda, we have had to constantly, compassionately, and patiently argue back with the facts.” Steve Fouch ن 🇺🇦 plough.com/en/topics/just…

The assisted dying bill is deeply flawed, unsafe, a source of danger to our most vulnerable people and of deep concern to our leading healthcare professionals. MPs must heed this joint statement of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists…

Who are you going to listen to? If it's not the most vulnerable, most affected, then ... well you're not listening.

Joint statement from Royal College of Physicians and Royal College of Psychiatrists sent to all MPs. It couldn’t be clearer: the Bill does not provide sufficient protection for vulnerable people. And yet… hundreds of MPs will vote for this Bill based on a campaigning soundbite that it’s ’safest in the world’.

Hospices have no legal protection in Kim’s bill if they refuse to offer assisted dying. To compel them government can withhold the already insufficient public funding they get. Joint bill sponsor Kit Malthouse believes this is a good thing. Do other MPs?

The Assisted Dying Bill returns to Parliament today for its final vote at Report Stage. I’ve raised serious concerns about the lack of safeguards. It should never be easier to die than to live with support. I will be voting against the Bill.

Explainer thread: Care costs and the Leadbeater Bill. Care is very expensive: around £949 a week in a care home and £1,267 in a nursing home, says Age UK. Councils can sometimes help—but that model faces an unprecedented crisis, with 500,000 people on assessment waiting lists.

The 3rd Reading of the #AssistedDyingBill is on Friday yet it remains hugely flawed. The PMB process has been woefully inadequate. - Only 12 of 133 amendments tabled have had a vote - Just 14% of MPs have had the chance to speak on it Not good enough for such a profound change.

📊 ‘Almost two thirds (65%) said the Government’s priority should be sorting out palliative and social care before changing the law’ on #assistedsuicide. uk.news.yahoo.com/poll-suggests-…

Can we trust MPs not to bring this to the UK on Friday? This is the real cost of assisted suicide. Tell them not to cross the line.🚫

"For none of our obligations to each other are well served if our laws focus on the few who wish for #AssistedDying and do too little to support the majority of those facing their final days who want – and deserve – access to the best of #palliativecare." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Mother of the House Diane Abbott: "What could be more unjust than losing a life because of poorly drafted legislation?" "It is perfectly possible to support assisted dying, as I do, but not be prepared to vote for this bill." #NotThisBill #AssistedSuicide
