I’m finishing this campaign as I started it! 💪🏻

The Labour MP Ashley Dalton, who carries metastatic breast cancer, repeats her opposition to the assisted suicide bill.

Bring it on then, if you want to bring this poor, unsafe piece of legislation back. Let's see who still votes for it, Lauren. I don't think the numbers are there any more. #AssistedDying

It is utterly reckless to force through a Bill that no Royal College supports (and many explicitly say is unsafe and will harm vulnerable people). If we want legalisation of assisted dying, ok. But not this flawed Bill. Did we learn nothing? politicshome.com/opinion/art…

Lauren Edwards MP statement says “[The TIA bill] was rightly described as the safest and most robust assisted dying law anywhere in the world” No. It was only described this way by the people trying to push it through. Here is how others described the Bill: 1. The Royal College of Physicians said the Bill is unsafe 2. The Royal College of Psychiatrists said the Bill is unworkable, and unsafe 3. The British Geriatrics Society said the Bill’s safeguards are not adequate 4. Domestic abuse charities said the Bill is unsafe 5. Organisations representing disabled people said the Bill is unsafe 6. Royal College of GPs says the Bill lacks adequate safeguards 7. Lord Stevens, ex NHS CEO, said legislating for assisted dying in the current climate of hospice cuts is “utterly ridiculous” 8. MIND says the safeguards are not adequate 9. The CLADD group at KCL (DOI) have said the Bill is “not fit for purpose” 10. The British Association of Social Workers say the Bill’s is not safe enough Spot the pattern?

As front pages go, this one's so beautiful.
