Pleased to republish the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill so it can complete its passage through Parliament. Terminally ill people and their families deserve the chance to see this legislation debated. The Bill returns to the Commons on 11 September. Read more here: buff.ly/3yq6aJz

This report should be a wake-up call for everyone working to improve experiences at the end-of-life

BREAKING: Jersey first in UK and Crown Dependencies to legalise assisted dying. Today's victory for compassion will be an enormous relief to dying people and families across Jersey.

Content warning: discussion of suffering at the end of life. “She would have 100% chosen when to go.” Despite receiving the best hospice-care, Poppy watched her mum die a drawn-out death from pancreatic cancer. She is now fighting for change in her mum’s memory.

The Isle of Man has today taken its final legislative step towards securing Royal Assent for Dr Alex Allison’s Assisted Dying Bill, after Tynwald voted by a 3:1 majority for all remaining amendments. #YesToDignity www.dignityindying.org.uk/news/isle-of...

In Isle of Man today to support Alex Allinson MHK for what is likely to be the final stage of his Assisted Dying Bill. It’s a joint sitting of their Lower & Upper Houses, known as Tynwald Court. An efficient way to discharge democracy! #YesToDignity

Strong statement from my good friend & neighbour @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social She’s bang on The Commons settled our view after an extraordinarily high level of scrutiny & debate compared to most Bills The Lords talked it out without a single substantive vote This is now a constitutional issue

Fantastic news. Well done to @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social for doing this. No doubt all those who approved of the Lords filibustering will be affronted, but many of us will be delighted, and grateful. This Bill needs to pass. #AssistedDyingBill

"I believe it undermines public trust in our democracy more widely if we cannot deliver on a measure that is supported by a very large majority of voters in all parts of the country.” www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

"There are a lot of people living in very fearful, very difficult situations - either themselves or their family members - who are just wanting us as politicians to do our job and follow through on the legislation that has been supported already. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Lauren Edwards MP has confirmed that she will reintroduce the assisted dying bill as a Private Members’ Bill in the House of Commons. Her decision reflects the strong public and cross-party support for the bill, which passed in the House of Commons this time last year.

Lauren Edwards' decision ensures that this vital conversation can continue. Every day, dying people are forced to endure suffering they would not choose, while others take desperate measures because the law offers them no safe, compassionate alternative. They deserve better.

It is a great privilege to have come second in the ballot for Private Member’s Bills. After giving the matter a great deal of thought, I will be reintroducing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. You can read my full statement on this here or on my website: buff.ly/I78DfUX

Quite right. Every week change is delayed, people are dying without the choice and protection they need. The majority of MPs tonight made clear they agree: the Bill must come back, the Government must act and the will of the Commons must be respected. www.dignityindying.org.uk/news/mps-bac...

This is about life. About death. But it’s also about democracy. That makes it about all of us. It’s time to back the assisted dying bill again.

Ahead of the King’s Speech today, The Daily Express shared heartbreaking end-of-life stories from their readers to show why MPs must “finish what they started” and legalise assisted dying. MPs have already voted for compassion. It's time to back the assisted dying bill again.

A Westminster Hall debate has been secured after 100,000 people signed a parliamentary petition, demanding Parliament finishes what it startedwww.dignityindying.org.uk/news/parliament-must-finish-what-its-started-the-fight-for-assisted-dying-comes-back-to-the-commons-as-debate-announced-for-8-june/

MPs who opposed assisted dying seek to revive bill in face of Lords filibustering - @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/politic...

This is not the end. We won't stop fighting until every dying person has choice.

Disappointed but defiant as I stand with the loved ones of those campaigners who have died while a small number of unelected Peers have run down the clock, denying dying people choice. This issue is not going away

Yesterday I joined campaigners from @dignityindying.org.uk in support of the Assisted Dying Bill, which has been unreasonably blocked from progressing by a handful of unelected Peers. The majority of MPs and the public support this Bill - the govt must ensure it returns after the King's Speech.

A sad day with Dignity in Dying as we expect the Lords to finally throw out the Assisted Dying Bill. However, there is so much hope here. I am passionate about moving this through. In the next session of Parliament we will do all we can to bring this Bill back. Today is a 'bump in the road'.

"I live in terror at the prospect of how my final weeks of life could turn out. I know that even with the best palliative care available, there are limits to what can be done. It’s a dead weight of fear I carry around with me.” Pamela Fisher www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

It's wonderful to be surrounded by this force of support as we prepare to fight and win again

We stand in solidarity with dying people, families, those who have suffered because of the status quo, MPs, Peers and supporters. We will fight on until the cruel status quo is reformed

Now hearing from the incredible Becca, Dame Esther's daughter who tells us her mum is behind us and and wants us to fight on

Our job is to hold our MPs to account. Public support is high and Commons backing is clear. The Commons must stand with the public and with dying people, to bring back the hopes that were raised last June and to rebuild trust in the parliamentary system.

We have won the argument on the principle and the fact the status quo is not working. And across five parliaments, we have secured the largest democratic mandate for change in UK history.

This is not the end of the road. Public support is strong and enduring. Support from elected MPs is real and growing. And the need among dying Britons has not gone away for a second. If you cannot win the vote, you should not be allowed to smother the vote.

What we have seen in the House of Lords is a shameless attempt to delay a decision whose time has come. A decision that the public is beyond ready for. A decision that the elected House of Commons has already made.

When we face adversity, we do not retreat. We stand stronger than ever today, at what is Dignity in Dying’s largest demonstration in our history.

Look around you. This, right here, is what a people-powered movement looks like. This is determination. This is solidarity. And this shows very clearly that we are not going anywhere.

We are joined by the indefatigable Prue Leith who is as certain as we are that ultimately we will win greater choice for dying people

Lord Falconer calls for supporters not to be despondent and pays tribute to @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social for her tenacity and achievement, and to supporters. The elected house want this choice, and it will happen.

We are hearing @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social talking about the emotional cost of sharing stories of the status quo, and thanking supporters for coming out time and again. We will succeed.

Today we demonstrate a show of strength - @dignityindying won't rest until dying people have choice. The nation are behind us. MP's have voted for choice. Parliament must provide a resolution.

It will take more than a tube strike and a handful of unelected Peers to stop @dignityindying.org.uk people powered movement, and we are outside of Parliament to demonstrate that today

this deliberate delay has a real human cost: one that is measured in the continued suffering of dying people and bereaved families who are being denied the choice, compassion and protection they want and need, and which MPs and the public agree they must have www.express.co.uk/news/politic...

All worthwhile causes in history have had to be fought for - history doesn't stand still, and neither will we open.substack.com/pub/sarahwoo...

The fight is not over. Thousands of people all over the country have been campaigning for this change, and that work will not stop. Today’s result only hardens our resolve to keep fighting for a safer and more compassionate law.

Liam McArthur MSP's assisted dying Bill has disappointingly fallen in Holyrood at the Stage 3 vote with 57 voting in favour, 69 against and one abstention

The debate in Holyrood is now concluding and the final vote will follow.

In an emotional speech, Rona Mackay MSP concluded "The most dangerous thing Parliament can do, is nothing" Hear hear

Liam McArthur MSP "Not passing this Bill has consequences". The status quo is not fit for purpose. There is a cost for inaction
