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.

Meanwhile domestic homicide expert @jmoncktonsmith.bsky.social warned the Edwards' Bill is simply "the worst thing, potentially, that we have ever done to domestic abuse victims"

Domestic abuse victims are at especial risk from Edwards' Bill. In the largest ever poll, the public want stronger protections than the Bill has. We warned parliament that 1 in 7 of those coming forward for lethal drugs would be a domestic abuse victim - meaning hundreds will die each year.

Women with eating disorders are given lethal drugs by drs around the world - 60+ that we know of. This abominable failure of vulnerable women will be allowed in Leadbeater's (now Edwards') Bill. Charities and advocates for those with eating disorders spoke out

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 🧵

All this from the largest poll yet on the Leadbeater assisted death Bill. Now, 568 people in @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social constituency signed our petition, urging their MP not to take on the failed assisted dying Bill.

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

Now MPs placed high in the PMB ballot are coming under intense pressure to revive Leadbeater's Bill - which failed to get through the Lords in the limited sittings given to PMBs. Both @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social & Andrew George MP may consider bringing back their Bill. But their constituents say:

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.
