No matter your position on the #AssistedDyingBill the unelected HoL should not be able to fillibuster it.

Today the Lords start the process of debating over 900 amendments (579 of which laid by just 7 peers) to the assisted dying Bill. As they do, lets hope they have people like Ed front of mind.

Prof Sam Ahmedzai says the Bill can help ensure people can access all the end-of-life care and treatment available to them as well as providing much-needed choice.

@kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social describes the world-leading safeguards in assisted dying Bill - incl. many eligibility conversations, a multi-disc. panel for extra oversight, and new offences on coercion. None of which exist under the status quo. #YesToDignity

1: Reflecting on his own Jewish faith, Lord Winston said he could not impose his religious views on others.
In a compassionate, pluralistic society, we can each hold our own beliefs - while trusting others to make the choices that are right for them.

Mick has a message for Peers today:
He made his best friend, Bob a promise to fight for choice, compassion and dignity here at home after he felt his only choice was to travel abroad for an assisted death.
We want to help him keep his promise.

“If we work together in good faith, we can show Parliament at its best,” Kim said.

No one's beliefs should limit another's right to choose.

A group of campaigners from Dignity in Dying stand outside the Houses of Parliament in London, with Big Ben visible behind them. They are wearing pink shirts and holding signs that read “My dying wish is…” followed by words such as “dignity,” “closure,” “control,” “autonomy,” “humanity,” “love,” “kindness,” “peace,” “compassion,” and “choice.” Behind them, a large blue and pink banner reads, “We’re connected by a dying wish: let us choose.” The group is smiling and standing together on Parliament Square, calling for the right to choose assisted dying for terminally ill people.
Assisted dying is about compassion — ensuring terminally ill, mentally competent adults can choose a peaceful, dignified end on their own terms. #YestoDignity
Over 300 million people now have access to safeguarded assisted dying.
The direction of travel is clear — compassion, choice and safety are winning out. #YestoDignity
“For me, it’s a much simpler matter of choice.”

A group of assisted dying supporters stand outside Parliament holding signs. One person’s sign reads, “I’m here in memory of my mum and the woman that was in the hospital bed opposite her.” Another reads, “My life, my death, my choice. Please.” Others hold placards showing photos of loved ones and messages calling for choice and dignity at the end of life.
For many, simply knowing the option exists brings comfort and peace of mind.
Assisted dying is about restoring control at the hardest moment, not taking it away. #YestoDignity

“It was his choice, his autonomy, how he died and when he wanted to die.” — Louise Shackleton
