My plea to MPs: this is the final chance to save the assisted dying bill. Make your mark on history | Polly Toynbee
By Polly Toynbee

Any MP not voting for it on Friday will condemn thousands of us to die in agony. The public is hugely in favour too, so do the right thing

I am sending the assisted dying bill back to the Lords – and this time, peers must do the right thing | Lauren Edwards
By Lauren Edwards

The will of the elected chamber – and a popular, compassionate piece of legislation – must not be frustrated again by a small minority of peers

As assisted dying bill returns to Commons, families recall loved ones’ battle to ‘go out on own terms’
By Caroline Davies

Elise Burns and Keith Williams appeared in campaign filmed by Rankin this year – both were denied their wishes, but their relatives are picking up the baton

Bizarre statement by #AnasSarwar! 🙄

It's about his decision to eff to London, to a seat in the unelected #HouseOfLords. He will also be a minister for trade, but as a Minster Of State, he will have no power. The prize here is the Lords seat for life

At the end, he refers to his successor, in a context that can only refer to the party leadership. But he never actually says that he is resigning as leader of #ScottishLabour. Is he still leader?

#scotpol#ukpol

A tough 5 years for Scotland's silliest clown show. Traditionally, every other year the leader of #ScottishLabour would be humiliatingly defenestrated, and replaced with someone even less competent.

#AnasSarwar cheated by staying for 5 years, almost a million times the average tenure. The comedy cane from losing elections with increasing severity.

Now he restores the humiliation by crawling to the #HouseOfLords.

#SLAB Leader #11 due soon. Don't blink, or you'll miss them 😅🤣

#Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.

It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".
