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.

My step sister was given 3 months to live with aggressive cancer. She stopped doing chemo and she has been cancer free for several years now. Doctors did not know how she suddenly got rid of cancer after stopping chemo. My point is doctors can be very wrong.

Farcical. It should never have been a vote for Holyrood, it should have been a referendum for the people of Scotland. Next time your in a hospital go and explain your decision to people terminally ill and dying painfully…

I understand the argument but walking into a care home environment whereby these people have no standard of life. At the same time, carehome bosses, empty these people's bank accounts, take their homes when many, given the choice would rather end it. Thats control.

Those who voted against euthanasia are monsters who have no empathy and zero sympathy. Just wait to see if you or a loved one is in excruciating pain and suffering 24/7 with only death to look forward to. Let's see if you are still against it.

Because the Liverpool care plan where a patient is deprived of water & food is so humane but a peaceful death chosen by the patient obviously isn’t

Except, of course, vulnerable patients can currently be coerced into declining antibiotics, chemotherapy, diuretics, food… It is lawful to refuse care “for any reason or no reason at all”. But the resulting death causes avoidable suffering.

What is interesting is that, adults can make a decision to terminate a birth, (I am pro abortion) yet those adults can’t terminate their own life at a time when they are facing end of life. You can take your pet to end their life, yet those people can’t choose to do the same!

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.

Today, I shared the most personal of stories publicly for the first time about my Mum’s impossible bind and lack of real choice in the late-stage of her terminal illness last year. I will let my speech, and her story, speak for itself here. This vote today was on whether we continue our work on this or not — not a final vote that would have seen this Bill come into law. I voted for the Bill to proceed for further consideration, like last time, but this was not the majority vote, this time. I’m disappointed that we cannot continue our consideration of this at this time, and then have been able to take a final view, like last time. I want to be clear that I fully respect and appreciate that there are different views on this issue. I’m grateful to every fellow resident who has been in touch to share theirs, and engaged with me and one another with care and consideration on this. My lived experience has made my belief in the principle of choice for terminally ill adults crystal clear. But regardless of my experience, my job is to be legislator. I would never vote for a Bill if I felt it were unsafe. Indeed, amendments of mine to the previous version of this Bill were accepted unanimously by MPs, with different viewpoints and from different political parties. I will always listen, and consider such decisions deeply. I hope that no matter whether we share the same view on the principle of this issue, this approach is welcome. It’s impossible for any two people to agree all of the time, but that’s doesn’t mean any of us have anything other than the best of intentions. I’m glad that I did what I could today to speak up for my Mum, and others with terminal illnesses who want to have choice over their life and their death. It was tough, but I know it’s what she would have wanted. The hardest part, though, is knowing that more people will now have to go through this same experience as my Mum, me, and my whole family, before this next comes back to the Commons - and I truly wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support my bill, the Iranian Temporary Immigration Relief Act.

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 -

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.

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision that I’m going to walk away from journalism. This is not a decision I’ve made lightly. It has been coming for some time, and it has been something I’ve been thinking about for months. However, a number of things in recent times have significantly contributed to me reaching this point. I spoke briefly about some of this with these two lovely young lads on the podcast below. We didn’t have a huge amount of time to speak about everything, so I’ve added a little more context here following the recording. I want to start with the situation surrounding Jason Arday. It genuinely left me in a whirlwind of emotions. I was incredibly upset and, honestly, it made me cry. I was left feeling shocked and confused by what had happened. At the same time, I have to admit that I knew something like this was coming. I really did. I’ve written before about my experiences with the media, and about the effect that being targeted or misrepresented can have on you personally. For me, it has gone far beyond simply being upset by something I have read. It has affected me physically and mentally, and in the past it contributed to me self harming. I wrote a long piece about those experiences when discussing misinformation, which you can find at the top of my profile. So while this particular situation came as a shock to many people, I cannot honestly say that I was completely surprised. My experiences over the past year have made me increasingly aware of the direction in which parts of the media, and wider society, are heading. Then there is the situation involving me and Robert Jenrick, the people around him, his wider political circle on the right and his media circle, and the way I have been portrayed by them. In all honesty, I have found the way I have been portrayed deeply upsetting. It has not been an isolated incident or something that happened once. It has been consistent and, in my view, has often felt like an attempt to undermine the work I was doing by challenging and questioning people in positions of influence. The impact of that has been significant. To be completely honest, it has made me ill. What has also been difficult is seeing people accept a portrayal of me which, from my perspective, could not be further from the truth. And unfortunately, this is not something I have experienced only in relation to this particular situation. There have been numerous occasions where I have felt misrepresented by sections of the media. This particular situation has simply gained a significant amount of attention, which is why I have chosen to address it. There are many more reasons behind my decision to leave journalism. There is a lot more I could say, but I don’t want to sit here and list every single reason. Those two situations have, shall we say, been the cherry on top. The reality is that this decision has been developing for months. It has been on my mind since earlier this year, and I have gone backwards and forwards over whether walking away really is the right thing to do. But the wider culture surrounding the media has also made me question whether I want to be part of the industry at all. The media industry, in my experience, has become incredibly divisive. Sadly, I think that reflects wider society too. There is so much fighting, so much division and so much focus on scoring points against one another. I have received support from some people, and I will always be grateful to those who have stood by me and helped me. But, in my experience, that support has often been outweighed by indifference, division and people looking after their own interests. It can sometimes feel as though everyone is fighting everyone else, rather than trying to build each other up. It reminds me of politics itself: constant point scoring, competing interests and a desire to win rather than a desire to understand. 1/2

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.
