Disabled people feel betrayed by John McDonnell attitude to the #AssistedDyingBill. A toothless advisory group does nothing to protect disabled people. He said he recognises disabled peoples' organisations are against the Bill, yet he chooses to vote for it anyway.


A powerful intervention by Jess Asato MP against the #AssistedDyingBill. We include anorexic people, and some want this Bill to pass so that they can legally demand suicide. But they are seriously mentally ill, needing protection from themselves. This Bill strips that away.


Very poor arguments from Paula Barker in the #AssistedDyingBill debate. The non-judicial panels proposed by the Bill do not have investigatory powers, or even a duty to investigate. They are simply tick-box exercises that procedure has been followed. They are not safeguards.



An appalling speech from Lewis Atkinson MP in the #AssistedSuicideBill debate. This Bill does not require people to be at the end of their lives, it only requires two doctors to say that they might die within 6 months. MPs need to vote according to what the Bill actually says.


Vet surgeons like Neil Hudson are very familiar with euthanasia, and we welcome his opposition to the #AssistedDyingBill which would introduce euthanasia for humans too.
