"What change would make you feel comfortable?" ＠kategarraway and @adilray discuss the Assisted Dying bill with palliative medicine consultant Dr Amy Proffitt, who says the bill should not become law as it does not contain sufficient safeguards and Dame Esther Rantzen's daughter, Rebecca Wilcox, who is backing the bill. MPs are preparing for a crucial vote on the bill to legalise Assisted Dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. The outcome of today's vote could mean the Bill goes through to the House of Lords, or is thrown out entirely.

Many people are concerned about how the Assisted Dying Bill is being handled in the Lords. Scrutiny matters, but so does respecting the will of the elected House. It’s important that this process remains serious, proportionate, and focused on the Bill.

Today I spoke in favour of a number of amendments to the Assisted Dying Bill. Fundamentally, I do not believe the safeguards in the Bill can protect people from coercion. I remain opposed to the Bill and will vote against at 3rd Reading.

I spoke against the Assisted Dying Bill again today. My concerns about vulnerable communities have only grown with scrutiny of it. MPs are elected to elevate those furthest from power. They are the people I thought of when voting. My full speech:

Dame Esther Rantzen has accused members of the House of Lords of trying to "sabotage" the Assisted Dying Bill currently passing through Parliament. She says hundreds of amendments have been put forward to deliberately slow down the Bill. Liz Summers reports.

After hours of scrutiny, and no meaningful changes to the Bill accepted, experts and professional bodies have not changed their position: The Assisted Dying Bill remains deeply flawed and unsafe. Bill supporters blame everyone else but won’t make the Bill safe.
