If I was still in Parliament, I would be voting today to legalise assisted dying. This is a long overdue reform

Disastrous, shortsighted decision to end funding for scheme to get bright graduates into mental health social work. We set this up when I was minister. Mental health social work had been a neglected area. Mental health social workers play a vital role. www.communitycare.co.uk/2025/04/30/f...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Powerful report of terminally man choosing an assisted death. Died in dignity with his family by his side. Very clear in his determination to end his life.

Legal experts, including two former Directors of Prosecution, back @kimleadbeater 's proposal to include senior legal experts, social workers and psychiatrists as "sensible and practical". A clear improvement on the status quo - hope MPs act to support it.

www.libdemvoice.org/ive-seen-ass... I so strongly believe in the case for assisted dying. @julianhuppert is absolutely right. It should be my right, not the state’s, to decide if I want assistance in dying when faced with terminal illness.
