Great to see #France take this important step towards giving terminally ill people choice & control in their dying days🇫🇷 Around the world countries are recognising that compassionate patient-led care for dying people must include #ChoiceAtTheEndOfLife france24.com/en/france/2025…

Dr Chloe Furst is a dual trained geriatrician and palliative care physician with first-hand experience of how assisted dying works in Australia. This is her message to MPs #YesToDignity

Powerful cross-party piece from Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst MP & Dr Beccy Cooper MP “We have a chance now to legislate with care, with humanity, and with integrity. To respond to evidence. To honour compassion. And to give dignity to those for whom time is running out.” #ChoiceAtTheEndOfLife

It is revealing long standing opponents of assisted dying attack the process of the Bill. They can no longer defend the status quo. But they also misrepresent the Government, which remains neutral while ensuring the Bill is workable and operable.

This is the benefit of assisted dying - the option being there gives people peace of mind and allows them to make the most of the time they have left. express.co.uk/news/uk/204675…

Heartbreaking: “Voluntary Stopping Eating & Drinking is not an easy death but with the current law in England this is the only way I can have control over my death.”💔 This country’s law allows self starvation but not the choice of assisted dying. mirror.co.uk/news/health/mu…

"It's very clear we need palliative care and assisted dying." James is supporting law change in memory of his mother, who was unable to have the choice here at home.

If Drs can be satisfied that someone is able to make a clear, settled decision to hasten their death by starving & dehydrating (which can take weeks),with far fewer safeguards than those proposed in Kim Leadbeater MBE MP's Bill, it is simply untenable to maintain the ban assisted dying.

Dr O'Brien is a GP and a voluntary assistant dying practitioner in Australia. "Planning for death when it's imminent is just as important as planning for birth, I feel, the two certainties in life. Please share this video and let MPs know it's time to vote for dignity."

The Assisted Dying Bill: - More evidence than any other Private Members Bill (PMB) - More hours of scrutiny than all 49 PMBs that became law last parliament - 55 clauses, nearly 8x the abortion act - More time to consider than most gov bills politicshome.com/news/article/a…

“The process has been incredibly thorough…there was over 90 hours of Committee stage debate.” Important clarity from the Leader of the House – the assisted dying Bill has received more scrutiny than most government bills.

Commons Leader Lucy Powell MP's response to Steve Race MP 💙💛 on Parliament’s consideration of Kim Leadbeater MBE MP assisted dying bill: “the process has been incredibly thorough” “more time than to most substantial pieces of government legislation”

Lucy Powell MP Steve Race MP 💙💛 Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Already, a day of scrutiny at 2nd Reading, 90 hours at Committee Stage, a day at Report Stage. Now it will see two more days of scrutiny by MPs this month, before going to the Lords, and then back to MPs. The strong process has resulted in the safest Bill in the world.

"Yes the assisted dying debate can be emotionally challenging and complex, but the legislative process has been serious, innovative, and sustained—laying strong groundwork for careful reform which is genuinely cross party." Paul Blomfield
