Supporters now seem keen on railroading through the Assisted Dying Bill because they argue it was filibustered in the House of Lords by a small group of opponents. The only problem is, that isn’t true. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I am sending the assisted dying bill back to the Lords – and this time, peers must do the right thing | Lauren Edwards

The will of the elected chamber – and a popular, compassionate piece of legislation – must not be frustrated again by a small minority of peers, says Labour MP for Rochester and Strood Lauren Edwards

All MPs voting on Friday MUST know this. A vote for the assisted death PMB is a vote that this Bill MUST become law. You don't get to choose if the Parliament Acts applies. Sharing constitutional law expert Philip Murray from the other place:

So refreshing to hear an MP talk about what mums actually want from policy! More choice, MORE time with young children. @swdevonrebecca.bsky.social in today's PMB debate on the Infants, Parents and Carers Bill. This Bill will be the world first to recognise the importance of the first 1001 days.

NO organisation which supports domestic or sexual abuse victims backs this Assisted Death Bill. Major women's orgs - neutral on the principle of AD- have warned the Bill can be 'a tool for femicide' and that the state will unwittingly involve itself in manslaughter:

The Assisted Death bill is revived: @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social will take the Bill under her name. Division ahead: this hastily drafted Bill was opposed by medical colleges and disability groups. And it had fierce criticism on its risk to women 🧵

Hoping someone who has come high in PMB ballot might consider a Bill to ensure universal & fair access to palliative care. Desmond Swayne , Lauren Edwards MP @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social , Dr Luke Evans @drlukeevans.org.uk It would be something that unites the whole community. #PalliativeCareForAll

The Leadbeater assisted dying PMB failed under scrutiny. But plans are afoot to revive it, and force it into law. Pressure is now being put on Labour MP @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social to put her name to the Bill. We turned out with her constituents to ask her to make a different choice.

Backers of the Leadbeater assisted dying Bill want @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social to take this Bill under her name, and push it through into law. That's why local residents in Rochester & Strood turned out this morning to share their opposition

NEW MRP poll: In the largest poll on assisted death since the Leadbeater Bill emerged, fewer than 1 in 10 Brits want their MP to prioritise the assisted death Bill.
