The Times editorial is correct. The assisted suicide Bill is a shambles and is very defective. Its key sponsors, ultimately the Government, know this but are pressing on regardless.
Editorial: Assisted dying bill is shoddy and riddled with defects

It's happening again: the Gazafication of Lebanon.
Civilians are paying the price while the world just watches Israeli aggression unfold with immpunity.
Why is the Labour government still enabling UK military cooperation with Israel?
Claire Kerrison was arrested at 4:33am from her Brighton home for sending emails concerning 'israel's' genocide in Gaza to her MP Peter Kyle.
Four police officer raided her home on 17 June 2025. They seized her electronics. Held her for over eight hours with no one knowing where she was. Released her on strict bail. Charged her in late 2025 under the Communications Act.
The case dragged on for a full year. She faced multiple court hearings including not-guilty pleas.
The emails were described by those who read them as articulate and non-abusive— simply expressing horror at events in Gaza.
The man who triggered the police complaint? Her own constituency MP, Peter Kyle:
- Britain's trade minister responsible for arms exports to 'israel'.
- Long standing member and previous vice-chair of Labour Friends of 'israel'
Kyle has been accused of breaching the Ministerial Code by failing to declare his LFI membership in the official List of Ministerial Interests for 18 months despite the clear conflict.
The case was finally dismissed yesterday, with costs awarded to Claire Kerrison.
This is why British politicians who are paid/influenced by the 'israel' lobby must be banned from public office.

1 in 4 people in England cannot access NHS urgent eye care through their local optician, despite 8,000 highly trained community optometrists ready to help.
This postcode lottery is driving patients into overstretched GPs and hospitals, delaying treatment and risking avoidable sight loss.
I'm standing with the Association of Optometrists and cross party MPs, calling for a nationally funded and mandated NHS community eye care service for all.
I've raised this issue in debates, and it is central to the aims of the Glaucoma Care Bill I've tabled.
Scotland and Wales already deliver nationally coordinated community eye care. It's time for England to catch up.
An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank.
This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.
@Newareopagitica@zarahsultana The UK is not so innocent in all this. Balfour! and it’s easy to ignore a problem at a distance. Anger and despair seeds terrorism. Honest not hyperbole leads to talks. If there are statesmen left like Mo Mowlam. Integrity.
@lyonsnicholas1@zarahsultana Palestinians are not crossing borders to settleon someone else’s land. They are not operating an apartheid system as that in the Left Bank. Their aim is to stop Israel hawkism. Israel wants to revert to its version of ancient history.
Today four activists face terror-related sentences for taking direct action against an Elbit Systems weapons factory in Filton, Bristol - a factory that makes drones sent to the genocidal apartheid state of Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza.
Back in April, I warned in Parliament that jurors would not be told terrorism sentences could follow a criminal damage conviction.
No terrorism charges were ever brought. The proscription against Palestine Action has since been ruled unlawful. The defendants were even prevented from telling the jury they acted to stop genocide.
This is a Labour government defending Israeli death factories and stripping away all of our fundamental rights.
Everyone who cares about our democracy should be outraged.
@MichaelRosenYes The curriculum is boring and a switch off for many. Teachers will drop crumbs of fun where they can.
It doesn’t work. Private schools have a wealth of extracurricular because they know it makes successful rounded people even if it is at the expense of their ability to empathise.
@Sarahleigh65@labourlewis Illegals define! We have people awaiting asylum. We have refugees with varying leave to stay. We have a tiny population evading detection who must be finding surviving very difficult. Illegals is for the ignorant
@megthecollie13@labourlewis@UKLabour Makes me laugh when you say indigenous. How far back do you want to go? We are an island nation of immigrants. And that’s why until now we’ve succeeded.
Apparently I'm too emotionally connected to foxes to comment about modern farming practices destroying our wildlife. Nothing to do with washing our countryside with Neonics, thugging hedgerows, spreading infected shit across fields. No, it's all the fox and badgers fault.
Henry was a young man with his whole life ahead of him. That future was stolen in an act of pure evil, leaving his family and community in unimaginable grief.
The sickening police body camera footage must be met with real accountability and answers.
A tragedy must not be weaponised to sow division.
The Sikh faith is one of peace, service and compassion. We must never allow the actions of one individual to cast blame upon a whole community.
🚨BREAKING | Labour MP Nadia Whittome has tabled a motion to REJECT the EHRC bathroom ban "guidance".
If MPs back her motion, the EHRC guidance will be rejected and will not be implemented. Motion is co-signed by Green MPs Hannah Spencer and Sian Berry.
Listen to how outraged all the MPs are when they are told they shouldn't be allowed to drink unlimited discount booze at work.
It's time to get rid of this ridiculous benefit and all the MPs who support it.
@Midgedog@TheNorfolkLion He has autism but I guess you haven’t got enough Education to understand. Makes people clever but single minded so don’t suffer fools…
