Lewis Atkinson MP's 'gotcha'. Witness has none of it. 👏Prof Allan House, Emeritus Professor of Liaison Psychiatry, Uni of Leeds: "The bill just asks is this person able to make decisions. ...It doesn't cover psychological and social assessment" Why so against this?!

For Parliament to make law in this way is to shake the foundations of society. Our MPs are there to scrutinise and confront the reality of the choices they make for us. For Govt to tacitly condone - delaying assessment of the Bill's impact - is horrendous.

This is a vital thread for MPs to read about the Assisted Dying bill. The Commons only passed the bill at Second Reading explicitly - as its backers stressed - to ‘continue the discussion’ and look at the detail. Here is the detail.

Kim Leadbeater’s witness list was 80%-20% in favour of the bill’s supporters. 9 lawyers were invited (6 pro, 3 neutral), alongside 8 witnesses from other jurisdictions (all pro), academics, medics, etc. But who *didn’t* receive an invitation? Here’s an incomplete list:

1. The British Geriatrics Society. “The BGS is opposed to the legalisation of Assisted Dying…Our assessment is that the risk for safeguard failure is at least moderate in a modern, well-run AD service which we find to be unacceptable when considering the needs of older people.”

7. Paddy Stone, Professor Emeritus of Palliative and End of Life Care at UCL. “My research demonstrates that there is no reliable way to identify patients with less than six or twelve months to live... At least, no method that would be reliable enough to act as any sort of

12. Cara Bailey, Professor of End of Life Care at Birmingham University. “The proposed safeguards are not sufficient to protect the vulnerable, particularly those who are older, frail and dependent...people will feel helpless and a burden, and...will utilise the AD request.”

14. Ruth Hughes, barrister specialising in mental capacity and inheritance. “If the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is passed, then this will lead to some of the most vulnerable people dying for others’ financial gain. That is certain… “It is surprisingly easy for a

🚨🚨 9 times out of 10 Care Home residents were prescribed ‘End of Life’ medication during Lockdown What followed was 5,000 deaths in just 10 weeks at Scottish Care Homes and 50,000 in England…..

Sky have done a report on the shocking state of care homes across the country and govt health minister Karin Smyth says she can't answer questions on it because she doesn't know about the report. Except it turns out Sky gave details of the report to her team yesterday.

Can we get over this ‘I agree with assisted dying in principle’ thing? If we were living in a perfect world, where doctors didn’t kill patients, where relatives didn’t exercise coercive control, where disabled people were equal citizens, and where elderly people weren’t made to

30%-40% of public money given to England's care homes vanishes in profits, little left for frontline services. Almost all care homes forcibly closed between 2011 and 2023 were operated by for-profit companies. Profits and care can't be combined. Watch the Minister's reply.

Palliative care can alleviate the wish for a hastened death. I am beyond shocked that the committee voted against this amendment.

This morning the Leadbeater Bill committee voted to let Clause 1 go through unamended - having rejected safeguards to protect the mentally ill, disabled people, those influenced or encouraged by others or those seeking assisted suicide to save their family money. We were told at

Dignity in Dying keeps changing its position. It says whatever is convenient at a particular moment. It then deletes evidence from its website. And thinks MPs are so supportive/stupid/busy to notice.

Our submission to the C 19 inquiry is in! Thank you to all the families who found the strength to take part, for the small team of volunteers who gathered evidence and wrote long into the night and to Hodge Jones & Allen for 5 years of incredible support. Here's to accountability.
