There is so much to remember Dame Esther Rantzen for, from the many brilliant episodes of ‘That’s Life’ to founding Childline & The Silver Line, to her tireless campaigning for Choice at the End of Life. Her legacy will live on through the lives she changed and the causes she championed.

So sad to hear of Dame Esther Rantzen’s passing. She was a remarkable woman who meant so much to so many and she will be greatly missed❤️

I have reflected at length about what happened in Parliament on Friday. Thank you to everyone who has contacted me with their heartbreaking personal stories and campaigned on this issue for far too long. I am so sorry. Please see my statement below. Many thanks, Kim

NEW: 100+ peers have urged MPs to pass the assisted dying bill when it returns on Fri. They accuse a minority of peers of ‘filibustering’ last time and say Lords must complete scrutiny. They include former cabinet secretary Gus O’Donnell & Burnham’s political hero Neil Kinnock.

Such a powerful testimony from Hannah this week❤️ Like many terminally ill people all she is asking for is #Compassion #Dignity & #Choice at the end of life. Huge thanks to Hannah, @humanists.uk @andrewcopson.bsky.social @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social, the brilliant Dr Clare Gerada & everyone.

Excellent piece from my colleague GP & MP @simonforstroud.bsky.social ‘Assisted dying is not something people receive instead of palliative care. It provides patients with choice at the end of life - it is not a choice between life & death, it’s about how you die, not if.’ #Choice #Dignity

Great work by the Select Committee on this👏🏻 I was very proud to have pushed the Government to retain @sport-england-se.bsky.social as a statutory consultee when it comes to planning. Thanks to the committee, Sport England - and to Minister Matt Pennycook for listening to us all.

It is 2 years since the unspeakable act of evil was perpetrated in Southport. The families and friends of Bebe, Elsie and Alice have shown such bravery and dignity since that horrific day. They are very much in my thoughts today, along with those 3 beautiful innocent girls❤️❤️❤️

Heartbreaking news. Elise was a truly inspirational campaigner. It was an honour to spend time with her during the passage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. She knew changing the law would be too late for her but she never gave up. All she wanted was choice❤️

Today marks a pivotal new chapter for our country. A new Prime Minister & many changes at the top of Government. Politics is a tough business, but I feel hopeful about what is to come. It has been a pleasure to work with Andy over the last decade & he has my full support.

Today, the Hillsborough Law passed the HoC. This Bill is for the 97 & their families, but it is also for every one of us. It is for the victims of Hillsborough, the Post Office Horizon scandal, Infected Blood scandal, Grenfell, Manchester Arena & others who deserve truth, accountability and justice.

At the centre of the murder of Henry Nowak is a family who will feel immeasurable pain for the rest of their lives. Their response to their devastating loss has been dignified and courageous. They deserve answers and are very much in my thoughts, as is Henry.

Jenny wants choice. She has terminal cancer that has spread to her bones. She knows what pain could lie ahead. The assisted dying bill gives dying people hope. Hope that they won’t have to suffer. Hope that they can say goodbye to their loved ones on their own terms. MPs must bring this bill back.
