After 22 years, as of midnight tonight I will no longer be the MP for Poplar and Limehouse. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve our part of East London. I'd like to thank my constituents, my local Party, family, friends and staff for all their support over the years.

Jenny wants choice.
She has terminal cancer that has spread to her bones. She knows what pain could lie ahead.

The assisted dying bill gives dying people hope.
Hope that they won’t have to suffer. Hope that they can say goodbye to their loved ones on their own terms.

MPs must bring this bill back.

The most challenging @matthewsyed column @thetimes ever! Vocabulary and personalities beyond my experience/understanding (not saying a lot about me😢). But a “must-read”(Muskread?). We need visionaries like Elon Musk — and wisdom to govern them

Branding Starmer a ‘Jew harmer’ is unserious. That way lies madness

@matthewsyed @the times makes a v good case. Not doubt he will be attacked as he expects. Won’t make him wrong! I abhor Trump but he’s a genius

In his closing speech, Lord Falconer shares the words of Elise, Becky and Kate.

They are all clear that the Lords have let down dying people today and that the fight for law change will continue.

[Sarah Wootton @sarah_wootton]

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

A real indictment indeed @matthewsyed @thetimes , and on it goes! Maximum drama, minimum reality. We get the politics we deserve

Great article @matthewsyed @the times. A hugely appropriate tribute to Rory and especially his parents. Rory McIlroy’s Masters speech shows how to raise a sporting great

Peter Wilson’s wife, Beverly Sand, took her own life after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Now he is speaking out against a handful of Lords blocking the assisted dying Bill - warning that this delay will condemn more people to “...undignified deaths in all kinds of terrible circumstances.”

@TrevorPTweets and @matthewsyed @thetimes have a very similar message this weekend. Sensible analysis. Trump’s a soft target, but he’s not our enemy

[Hilary Benn @hilarybennmp]

Today is 28 years since the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, one of the greatest achievements of the last Labour government. We remember those political giants we have since lost who helped make it possible - among them the great Mo Mowlam, John Hume and David Trimble.

Positive mood for the USA from @matthewsyed @thetimes well argued. Bet against Trump and his camp, sure, but never against America

@matthewsyed @thetimes Personal responsibility Matthew? Come on! If we’re not victims, how are all those lawyers going to make a living?😂. We lambast lying tech bros, but phone addiction starts with all of us
