"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.

As a member of the bill committee I shared serious concerns about this bill being unsafe & deeply flawed. The House of Lords will fix it said many, convincing MP’s to let it pass. Well The ‘House of Lords’ didn’t fix it! The Assisted Dying Bill is not safe and remains deeply flawed!

"I am saying to the House of Lords, how can you be so cruel, so inhumane and so undemocratic?" Dame Esther Rantzen speaks to Sky News, following reports that the assisted dying bill will almost certainly fail due to it not being given more time in the House of Lords

The passing of the assisted dying bill is not a good moment for Westminster. Too many MPs not interested, too many not attending, too many not interested in pre vote amendments and the consequences. Sincerely hoping for better scrutiny and more rigorous endeavour at the House of Lords.
