"It was a classic filibuster." Lord Charlie Falconer, who led the assisted dying bill through the House of Lords, said the failure of the bill is "terrible." Those who opposed the bill were concerned it included too few safeguards.

🚨BIG ADMISSION FROM LORD FALCONER! Lord Falconer admits that his assisted suicide Bill would require amending the constitution of the NHS since the current obligation of the NHS is “to provide treatment and care”. Is this what the country wants?

Lord Stevens, former NHS CEO, always chooses his words with care. So it’s striking to hear him describe Clause 41 of the Leadbeater/Falconer bill as “a Trojan horse clause for fundamental change to the National Health Service by the back door”.

At 1.10 on Friday 13 March, after months of deliberation in the Lords and Commons, we get to the very crux of the misunderstanding that has underpinned the AS debate throughout. In answer to Lord Deben's question to Lord Falconer about whether he agreed with Baroness Murphy that assisted dying is part of palliative care, Falconer replied: "Assisted dying is about giving somebody a good death and I think palliative care is about exactly the same thing." Unsurprisingly, Lord Deben and others were visibly taken aback. In one sentence, Lord Falconer has revealed the intention behind this Bill, which is to bring assisted suicide into our palliative care system and forever remove the distinction between the two.

WATCH: Today, Lord True argued for proper Parliamentary scrutiny of the Prime Minister's policies. Having changed the programme in the House of Commons to avoid Parliamentary scrutiny, the Government has once again blocked Parliamentary scrutiny in the House of Lords with the support of the Liberal Democrats. Only the Conservatives are standing up for Parliament's right to hold the Government to account.

OUTRAGEOUS! The Welsh Health Secretary confirms that Kim Leadbeater & Lord Falconer will change the assisted suicide Bill so only privatised assisted suicides could happen in Wales if the Bill passes & today’s motion fails. This is blackmail, pressuring MSs to support the motion!

Lord Moore, former Telegraph and Spectator editor, on how AS lobbyists are trying to shift the parliamentary debate: “I know very well what happens—how to recognise when we’re being pushed to do a story. “In the last two weeks all the British media have been pressed very hard, by lobbyists in favour of this bill, to produce a series of highly contentious arguments which attack anybody who tries to debate this bill fully. “I think this is very much at odds with the spirit of legislation of this sort, and also very much at odds with what Lord Falconer keeps trying to do.”

WATCH: Baroness Luciana Berger rightly implores Lord Falconer to ensure that no one can request an assisted suicide on behalf of someone else. It is extraordinary that the Bill doesn’t currently make this clear! No wonder so much time is being required for debate in the Lords.

🤔Kim Leadbeater wants you to believe that House of Lords’ scrutiny of her assisted suicide Bill was Parliament at its worst & MPs’ scrutiny was “Parliament at its best”. But the reality was the opposite. Watch these clips from Leadbeater’s Bill Committee & make your own mind up!
