1/ MPs have been told that Kim Leadbeater is backing Amendment 14 to address the anorexia loophole. That’s NOT what the amendment does. On the eve of the vote, many Members still don’t appear to understand what they’re being asked to vote on. An explainer below 🧵

Mr Speaker has not selected my amendments for a separate vote, meaning the Assisted Dying Bill will give Ministers enormous powers absent any Parliamentary oversight. It's a blank cheque to whosoever is in power at the time and strengthens my opposition to the Bill.

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL: "A victim of the 2016 Brussels terror attack was euthanised due to suffering from PTSD and depression" We have seen what has happened to vulnerable people in other countries, and with amendments to protect the elderly, disabled, mentally ill, and people

Speak up now. Tell your MP to vote against this dangerous bill. George Fielding BEM from Not Dead Yet UK shares his concerns about how this bill will warp culture and critically affect those with disabilities or chronic conditions. No one should be sent the message that their life

Is there really an anorexia loophole? Yes. And in this video, I explain why. If you’re as tired of hearing me go on about this as I am, you can blame Kevin Yuill for the request.

I wish you well and share your hope that you live for many more years. But this bill only needs two doctors to agree that they would not be surprised if the patient died within 6m. Esther, if reports were correct, was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2023. She was thought

Kevin Yuill Strange, my mother would have preferred a nice meal out but then I never had murdering her on the cards. I think we are all for choice and a dignified pain free death but this Bill is not delivering this.

.Ashley Dalton MP who is a Health Minister and who herself has metastatic cancer, explains why she will vote against the assisted dying bill. All MPs voting today should read this 👇

Today’s the day. I hope MPs vote for England and Wales to remain nations of suicide prevention, not suicide assistance. I hope MPs vote NO to this dangerous Bill.

Today, is the third and final reading of the private members bill on the proposal to legislate to allow #AssistedDyingBill in England and Wales. I have been clear from the outset - I will be voting against the bill. I want to thank cross party colleagues who have worked

If you saw someone on a bridge about to jump, would you stand by and let them do it in the name of autonomy? No. So why assist suicides for the sick? Are their lives not equally worth protecting? These are the questions MPs must ask themselves today.

Who is representing us? Why don't they understand that self-coercion is simply internalising the thoughts of others that your life is worthless? #assistedsuicide

Credit to Diane Abbott, she has been a voice of reason on assisted dying: "What could be more unjust than losing your life to poorly drafted legislation… …if the police fail to spot coersion during domestic violence…can they spot coersion during an assisted dying situation?"

If we brought back hanging for only a very few prisoners, just the very worst cases, would MPs support that? What about just those who agree to their fate? #assisteddying = #assistedsuicide

Disgusted that Jess Phillips, who is well informed about coercive control, domestic violence, and vulnerability voted for the assisted dying shitshow. Shame on the lot of them.

We end the day as a morally diminished nation. The relationship between the individual and the state is changed utterly. No more do we try to prevent suicide in all, to assume that life is the best option for the proverbial man teetering on the bridge. Now we yell "jump" and even

Cllr. Marc Logen 🇬🇧 Kevin Yuill Most people fight til their last breath & their biggest worries are financial. This will add an enormous amount of distress & ambivolence to an already fraught situation. Not only will it destroy trust between patients & medics but it will destroy trust between family members.
