Sir Chris Bryant said he had “heard the cries of people who are absolutely miserable” and now supports the legislation express.co.uk/news/politics/…

"Fundamentally, the question here is: is it right for me to tell the person next to me that because of my moral scruples, they have to suffer, possibly, a really hideous death? Or, is it their right to decide without me interfering?" northwaleschronicle.co.uk/news/25223079.…

Thank you ⁦Kim Leadbeater MBE MP⁩ for the care you’ve taken to respond to the views of colleagues. I’ll be supporting the Bill as I believe a person should have this right & the thoughtful approach of Kim &others has secured sufficient protection from abuse theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Seven RCPsych members, including a former college president and vice-president, have written to MPs to voice their backing for the Bill. independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Fundamentals remain as #AssistedDying clocks up 100 hours Parliamentary consideration: - MPs know status quo is cruel & untenable - All passed amendments further tighten Bill (eg advertising ban) On analysis of votes today, I’m v confident it will pass at 3rd reading next Fri

"This is about helping people die in a civilised way and helping their families not go through a horrendous experience of watching a loved one die in agony." A powerful intervention in yesterday's assisted dying debate from Caroline Voaden MP

Critics of the bill have begun to frame the debate as if leaving the law as it stands does not hurt anyone. It does. They worry about speculative, hypothetical victims - but the status quo creates indisputable, real life victims. thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

‘Breast cancer will probably kill me — please give me the choice not to suffer' express.co.uk/news/uk/206935…

"Palliative and end-of-life care and assisted dying can and do work side by side to give terminally ill patients the care and choice they deserve in their final days." Last week Kim Leadbeater MBE MP made the case for choice at the end of life

The Prime Minister has signalled to reporters today that he still supports the assisted dying bill and will vote in favour on Friday. Not surprising but nevertheless influential - especially as a former Director of Public Prosecutions. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

For some, the ban on assisted dying has a devasting impact. No one should have to discover the body of their terminally ill wife, only to be treated like a criminal. But that's what happened to Peter. The law must change .

Important confirmation of public support for Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Bill ….

My friend Jack Abbott MP voted against the Assisted Dying Bill at 2nd Reading. Jack was then on the Bill committee - looking at the detail for almost 100 hours. He had concerns about safeguarding, but has been reassured. He is supporting the Bill tomorrow.

Key point by Andy Slaughter and Sarah Champion “… not to vote for Kim Leadbeater’s Bill is to decide that the status quo, with its manifest injustices, inherent cruelty and total absence of safeguards against coercion, is acceptable.” LabourList labourlist.org/2025/06/assist…

I hope MPs voting today on assisted dying read this first … theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I spoke in Parliament today about why I’ll be voting in favour of the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill. This is a deeply personal issue for me — shaped by my brother’s experience at the end of his life. You can watch my contribution below. 🎥⬇️

Following today’s vote, I am pleased to say my Private Members’ Bill has passed its Third Reading.

Huge thanks to Jenny of Manchester Airport Terminal 1 team for making sure my son and family made their flight home this morning - after delays caused by understaffing at Aer Lingus check-in would have left them stranded.

The Lords has an important duty to scrutinise, but it also has a constitutional duty to respect the primacy of the Commons, which has twice backed this Bill. MPs listened to dying people; reflected the public mood. Families up & down the country now call on Peers to follow suit.

After intense scrutiny in the Commons, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill now proceeds to the House of Lords. This is an important part of the passage of the bill and I’m very grateful for the engagement so far from peers #ChoiceAtTheEndOfLife thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
