This has been a hugely difficult vote. There are compelling arguments on both sides and I realise my decision will be supported by some and opposed by others. But looking at the detail, I could not support the Bill tonight with the risks of coercion and lack of safeguards.

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 oppose decriminilisation of full term abortion. I have added my name to the amendment to remove Clause 191 from the Crime and Policing Bill which we will be considering next week. I have been contacted by thousands of people opposed to this move. There is no public support.

I’ve heard from dozens of Iranian students and researchers who complied with every immigration requirement and whose lives have been thrown into limbo by the Trump Administration's deportation chaos. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support my bill, the Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act.

#WATCH On the Waqf Amendment Bill, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav says, "We have strongly opposed this bill in both houses, but some secular parties and so-called secular leaders have been exposed. We have always fought the battle of our ideology, and this time, those who supported this bill will face a resounding response from the people of Bihar."

We continue to work around the clock to reach a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas with the release of hostages. But this is ultimately a question of political will. The time has come for both sides make some hard choices and some difficult compromises.

VIDEO | Delhi: On the split in the TMC, party MP Shatrughan Sinha said, “First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Asansol and West Bengal for giving me immense love, respect and support, and for ensuring my victory time and again. I first came to Asansol at Didi (Mamata Banerjee’s) invitation and on her instructions. In my very first election there, I secured a record-margin victory in what was the country’s first by-election at the time. Later, I also won a second time with a significant margin. Therefore, I would especially like to thank Mamata ji, the Trinamool Congress, and above all, the people of Asansol and West Bengal. I want to make it clear that I have always worked for everyone in Bengal, regardless of which party they belong to or whether they voted for me or not. I understand my responsibilities and will continue to fulfil them." He adds, "When I was going through a difficult phase after losing the Patna election in 2019, very few people stood by me. Mamata Banerjee was among the few who supported and encouraged me. She believed I should continue in public life without any gap in my parliamentary journey, and it was on her direction that I contested from Asansol. By God’s grace, and with the support of Mamata ji and the people of Asansol, I achieved victory. For the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation about me. Some people are speaking the truth, while others are spreading rumours. Some have claimed that I have joined the so-called rebel group. Yes, by nature I have always been outspoken. I often say that if speaking the truth is considered rebellion, then I am also a rebel. I have always spoken frankly and called a spade a spade. But I want to state clearly that Mamata ji stood by me during my difficult times, and today, in her difficult phase, I cannot abandon her. I was elected on the Trinamool Congress symbol - the ‘Jora Phool’ - not once but twice, with the blessings of God. Therefore, it is my duty and responsibility to stand with Mamata ji and the Trinamool Congress...my principle is very clear: when Mamata ji stood by me in my difficult times, it is now my duty to stand by her in this moment as well.” (Full video available on PTI Videos -

Today, I was pleased to table Bill C-260, the Care Not Coercion act. If passed, Bill C-260 would create safeguards to prevent the coercion of individuals who are not seeking Medical Assistance in Dying. This bill stands with people with disabilities, veterans, seniors, and all those who have faced, or are at risk of facing, pressure toward medically facilitated death. Visit to learn more.

I am so upset I can barely think to come up with the words to spread this information. 27 DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST MAKING INDECENT EXPOSURE TO MINORS A CLASS 6 FELONY! How can you not stand up for the only human beings on the planet who are literally defenseless??? OUR CHILDREN, these are little kids. The bill - sponsored by three Democrats and one Republican - received bipartisan support, but was only opposed by Democrats. In the House, 27 Democrats voted against the bill and only 18 voted in favor of Read the bill:

During the debate on the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill, I emphasised that, as ever with Northern Ireland, the devil lies in the detail. Until the full Bill comes before us, it’s difficult to judge whether it will ultimately prove to be good, bad, or indifferent. I raised two key concerns: first, the somewhat ambiguous nature of Ireland’s role, given its historic reluctance to extradite individuals responsible for appalling attacks on civilians and soldiers. While Ireland states it is committed to this process, I believe that commitment requires closer scrutiny. Secondly, I highlighted the issue of vexatious prosecutions. The phrase “unless there are compelling reasons to do so” risks creating loopholes that undermine the protections intended by the legislation. I have therefore urged the Secretary of State to define “compelling” clearly and ensure that this safeguard cannot be diluted through future interpretation.

Unfortunately I have covid and I can't get "paired" for the Assisted Dying vote this Friday 😪 this is because it isn't a Government bill and therefore there are no pairings. I'm really glad that I've been so outspoken on this up to now and that you know how I would have voted. Yet again, other political parties are attempting to fabricate stories about my not being in Westminster this week, but I believe in transparency. My sort of Christianity doesn't lie and it doesn't mislead. Tell the truth and shame the devil, isn't that what they say? 🙏🙏 By the way, to those saying travel with covid? Jeepers- have a bit of humanity and respect for others. I'll be fine, but others wouldn't be if they got it. Such a selfish perspective.

Not a single witness was called to testify on the Liberal decision to strip the religious defence out of the criminal code through Bill C-9. This backroom deal was not studied and is opposed by every faith community. Yet Liberals are pushing ahead with this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
