98 names. Not forgotten – finally found. On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings that helped secure Europe’s freedom – these names are added to the British Normandy Memorial. Every man is remembered. Each one is a hero. We shall never forget.

At the centre of the murder of Henry Nowak is a family who will feel immeasurable pain for the rest of their lives. Their response to their devastating loss has been dignified and courageous. They deserve answers and are very much in my thoughts, as is Henry.

Jenny wants choice. She has terminal cancer that has spread to her bones. She knows what pain could lie ahead. The assisted dying bill gives dying people hope. Hope that they won’t have to suffer. Hope that they can say goodbye to their loved ones on their own terms. MPs must bring this bill back.

Today is the 13th anniversary of the heinous murder of British Soldier, Fusilier Lee Rigby. Lee was killed in a brutal terrorist attack and his memory must never be forgotten. Thinking of Lee’s family and friends and everyone affected by that dreadful day.

Becky says her brother Nathaniel Dye, an inspirational campaigner who died of cancer, would’ve been furious to know that the Bill will fall due to delays. She feels betrayed by the system - that Lords are not reflecting the public will, but are instead “able to serve their own agendas.”

Very emotional to meet Tony Marra on the 2nd anniversary of his sister Paola’s assisted death in Switzerland. Paola had terminal bowel cancer and died at the age of 53. All she wanted, like so many other terminally ill people, was choice & dignity in her dying days.

Absolutely right from Lord Pannick. Scrutiny & debate is welcome, but having sat through many of these long debates in the unelected chamber what we have seen repeatedly over the last few months has gone far beyond this. All terminally ill people want is choice & dignity😔

The move to remove hereditary peers is welcome. The next logical step should be to remove the Lords Spiritual. There should be no reserved seats in Parliament for any one religion. It’s time to remove bishops from the House of Lords.
