I understand the feelings on different sides of the discussion but now is not the time to bring the assisted dying bill back to Parliament.

Bad news: Last thing we need is rerun of this deeply divisive issue that is genuinely dangerous, threatening so many of our vulnerable communities when government has so many pressing priorities.

Breathtakingly ham-fisted of @LaurenREdwards to seek to exhume the rotting corpse of the Assisted Dying Bill, given that just about every disability group opposes it

For avoidance of doubt: every disability charity, Assn for Palliative Medicine, British Geriatrics Society, Royal College of Psychiatrists and even EHRC don't support it. Oh, and all but 7% of your own constituents think you have more pressing priorities, see theotherhalf.uk/mega-poll-as…

4 in 10 of your constituents want you to prioritise reducing immigration; almost as many want you to focus on reducing NHS waiting lists. Only 7% of your own constituents want you to prioritise assisted dying. (MRP poll of 10k voters)

Very sad to see my colleague Lauren Edwards MP bringing the deeply flawed and unsafe Assisted Dying Bill back as a PMB. If it was safe and brilliant why did the Lords sponsor of the bill bring 77 amendments in the Lords? It cannot just be brought back as it is and forced through.

RT @antoniabance: Absolutely infuriating that one of my colleagues has decided that what Parliament should focus on in the coming months -…

From the MRP poll of more than 10,000 UK voters: "Lauren Edwards; came second in PMB ballot) - legalising assisted suicide came bottom of 10 possible priorities for constituents; only 7% of her constituents included it in their top three priorities for what they would want her to prioritise if she had a chance to bring forward a change in the law"

Full polling results here. We will find out in 20 mins who is going to champion this lethal divisive Bill through parliament again. theotherhalf.uk/mega-poll-as…

Bonkers

Rejected in Holyrood. Rejected in Westminster. Country in an utter mess. Party at all time low. Colossal misjudgement.

This will come back to bite @UKLabour - shows complete tin ear to voters' concerns

As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool returns to his folly #assistedsuicide

We have debated this deeply divisive and flawed Bill for over a year and nothing has changed nothing. This Bill will hand sweeping, unchecked powers over life and death and our NHS to future governments..whoever they are. Insane stuff.

It is literally insane simultaneously to think that 16 and 17 year olds are mature enough to vote but not mature enough to look at Instagram at 8:30pm. This is comically absurd.

We have been governed so badly in the past 20 years.

Very good from @PigsAndPolling: Voters 'ask a brutally simple question: why are politicians talking about helping people die when they seem unable to help people live well?' telegraph.co.uk/gift/cc8aef2…

"Recent @WStoneInsight MRP research across every constituency in Great Britain found that assisted suicide did not rank among any of the top priorities voters wanted MPs to focus on in any seat surveyed. Not one." telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06…
