Assisted Dying Bill is getting yet more corrupt as it escapes scrutiny - again House of Lords committee declines to accept written evidence for next stage of Assisted Dying Bill - another dangerous lack of scrutiny

ALT Text for: #TakingThePIP Disabled People Have Faced a Decade of Neglect Black background with bold purple and white text stating: “The Truth: Disabled people have faced a decade of cuts, crisis, and neglect.” Three red bullet points list: “Austerity,” “Disproportionate pandemic losses,” and “Cuts to services are already costing lives.” Below that, text notes that in 2024, the UN condemned the UK for systematic violations of disabled people’s rights due to cuts to housing and care. It warns that the government is planning more benefit cuts, stating: “Our community can’t take more.” At the bottom, white bold text urges: “Ask your Government to STOP #TakingThePIP.”

Sadly ‘concessions’ won’t make a difference,what about people who become disabled/chronically ill/seriously ill in the future? What about mistakes the DWP continue to make?! The bill must be scrapped.

They have spoken out to raise serious concerns about the work of the Disability Unit and the current government’s commitment to listening to disabled people.

More than 1,000 doctors urge MPs to vote against assisted dying bill Supporters of the bill say it would allow terminally ill patients from England and Wales to end their lives "on their own terms", providing they have a life expectancy of six months or less.

Doctors are incredibly concerned about the 'deeply flawed' and 'simply not safe' assisted dying bill!

They don’t kill Paedophiles.
They don’t kill rapists.
They don’t kill MURDERERS…
But they’re clamouring to vote to kill Disabled people.

Connect the dots. This is the wider plan by the Labour Government.

The media will turn against us to make it more palliative for us to be the scapegoat for their failures.
