CW: assisted dying, good statement from Nadia Whittome MP
"The Bill did not pass second reading. This means that it will not progress any further. I recognise that this will be of significant disappointment to some, and relief to others.
"What is vital now is that the focus on terminal illness and end of life care does not stop because this Bill has fallen. The debate surrounding this Bill has shone a light on the harrowing circumstances that many terminally ill people face. I have always been clear that regardless of what happens with this Bill, drastic improvements and substantial funding must be provided to palliative care. The government must act on this area. ...
"It is important to consider the impact of this legislation within the context of a highly unequal society, where so many people live in extreme poverty, face huge amounts of discrimination, abuse and violence, and cannot access the healthcare and social care they deserve after years of cuts and underfunding. It must be recognised that this will have an impact on the choices that people make and their vulnerability to coercion and pressure."
The whole thing is worth a read i.m.o. - lots of good points.
Content note, references to unassisted suicide as well.

CW: Filton trial, useful article from Craig Murray
This "Filton Six" trial is worth keeping an eye on.
"Every single prosecution witness who gave evidence about the melee was obliged to change their statement when confronted by the defence with video evidence which contradicted it. This included much more video than was released by the prosecution.
"The prosecution produced a misleading account of the number and location of CCTV cameras in the factory. They were obliged to present a new map showing more cameras.
"The video evidence was left in or given into the hands of Elbit. A search of Elbit’s premises in November 2025 found the USB sticks of video in their Metropolitan Police evidence bags in Elbit’s safe."
