I’ve cleared my afternoon to go through every single amendment later today. I am sure my colleagues on all sides of this argument will be engaging similarly. But first I’m off out on the doors #LoveNuL 🇬🇧🌹

Rachel is a GP and palliative care specialist serving local residents in Friar Park in my constituency. I am proud to have her support in raising concerns about this assisted dying bill.

✍️ Labour MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme Adam Jogee MP writes for Politics UK arguing that the current debate on the Assisted Dying Bill is imbalanced, and MPs therefore risk passing a law with damaging consequences for society newshubgroup.co.uk/opinion/assist…

Labour’s Meg Hillier on BBC Radio 4 Today explains the critical difference between campaigning and legislating with regard to the Assisted Dying Bill. She says the safeguards are currently inadequate & is clearly worried about proper scrutiny of the Bill

People have different views on assisted dying - mine are pretty clear and that’s fine because we live in a democracy. What isn’t fine is a monumental change to - and for - our society that doesn’t get the balanced and objective unpicking it most certainly demands. #LoveNuL 🇬🇧🌹

Safeguards on the Assisted Dying Bill are collapsing. Rushed, badly thought out legislation. Needs to be voted down. itv.com/news/2025-02-1…

The key safeguard that was used to persuade MPs who raised valid questions about the bill has now been dropped. To say this is worrying is an understatement. Can they explain why lawyers, psychiatrists & social workers won’t be overwhelmed? Just a farce. itv.com/news/2025-02-1…

It's not right that the goalposts keep moving. At Second Reading, MPs were promised the #AssistedDyingBill had "the most robust and strongest set of safeguards and protections in the world". It's becoming increasingly clear that the Bill is flawed, rushed and not fit for

I'm concerned that the decision to remove High Court Judges from the assisted dying process will leave vulnerable people at greater risk of coercion. We need more safeguards, not fewer 👇

Can the Assisted Dying Bill still pass? Labour's Antonia Bance MP MP tells Sophy Ridge she is helping to organise opposition to the Assisted Dying Bill. 'This Bill is not fit for purpose. It will not make good law,' she says trib.al/aEPrCpo 📺 Sky 501

I have joined with some other MPs who have concerns about the Assisted Dying Bill to put out a statement about the removal of the High Court from the decision.

Very pleased to be asked on to Sophy Ridge show last night to talk about why removing the High Court judge from the process is making MPs question their support for the assisted dying bill

Jess Asato MP (@jess4lowestoft) 's Twitter Profile Photo

This sets out the very real fears I have about the potential for the Bill to facilitate the state sanctioned death of abused women. Half of health professionals say they cannot identify domestic abuse.

“A “judge plus” panel is not an MDT, nor does it come close to being one, because no one on the panel knows the patient. Moreover, the panel’s scrutiny comes only at the end of the process, not at the beginning” thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

Andrew Pakes MP (@andrewpakes_) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I didn’t vote in favour of Assisted Dying Bill but welcomed the commitment that it would face fair scrutiny as it proceeded through the House. I worry we are not seeing that at the moment.

Promise made, promise delivered early! We promised to deliver two million more appointments a year as our first step to bring down waiting lists. We’ve delivered - seven months early! A hell of lot more to do, but the tide is turning. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Passengers have had to put up with broken railways for too long. We're kicking off the next steps to fundamentally rewire our railways and put passengers first.🇬🇧🚂
