Acts of genocide are not a thing of the past, far less racism and hatred. Please therefore join this online Holocaust Memorial Day event on Sunday Jan 18th, hosted by the Jewish Greens. We are one of the co-sponsors.

Tears. Hugs. Relief. This vote meant everything. Thank you to everyone who has supported the Bill, and our campaign for compassion, choice, and dignity. #AssistedDyingBill.

The Assisted Dying Bill has passed its Third Reading in the Commons. We’re in Parliament Square celebrating this step forward for compassion and dignity

There are many contenders for what will be this Labour Government’s Poll Tax but this Bill is going to do so much harm it ought to suffer the same fate. #TakingThePIP

For the first time, the official Judicial Attitudes Survey asked judges about faith.

The results show Muslims are three times less likely to serve on the bench — and more likely to face bullying, harassment and discrimination.

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up?

No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July.

Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

Today was the first day of the Report Stage of the Assisted Dying Bill. I believe the Bill has been strengthened through 90 hours of scrutiny, and I support giving terminally ill people the choice to die with dignity. Hoping for a compassionate debate and successful vote in June.

[Sian Berry @sianberry]

I have heard from many people in Brighton Pavilion about assisted dying, and their messages and stories have touched me deeply.

We must create the best, most compassionate Bill, and this is what I said in today’s serious and detailed debate:

Another day on Daily Mail Island.

Breaking: Harriet Harman has today put forward an amendment to the Government’s Hereditary Peers Bill which aims to end the automatic right of Church of England bishops to sit in the House of Lords. https://t.co/oFxevD4GBv

Fantastic news! The publication of the Children's Wellbeing Bill confirms that government action to shut down illegal religious schools is now very much on its way

This marks the culmination of years of campaigning from us to draw attention to the problem https://t.co/lvJ43vwKkH

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

These events remind us of what a farce it is that we have bishops and archbishops voting in the UK Parliament in the first place.

No other democracy on Earth appoints religious clerics as of right to vote in their sovereign parliament.

Very significant step forward for the important and sensitive issue of permitting assisted dying in England and Wales. The Bill was supported at its second reading today by all GPEW MPs.

[Humanists UK @Humanists_UK]

Results of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill vote at Second Reading are in:

330 AYE
275 NO

For the first time in history, British MPs have voted in favour of the principle of assisted dying.

Now follows months of line-by-line scrutiny at Committee Stage.

[Green Humanists @GreenHumanists]

We’re at a Parliament Square rally in support of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, ahead of its 2nd Reading later.

Humanists have campaigned to permit assisted dying for over a century. We urge support for the Bill, to uphold compassion, choice, and dignity.

[Sian Berry @sianberry]

Pleased to join a packed out rally of a powerful cross-party, multi-campaign coalition in Parliament for the Climate and Nature Bill! #CANBill
