"Hold your MP to account on whether they support choice at the end of life."

Paola was forced to travel hundreds of miles - alone - to die on her own terms.

The next generation of MPs must listen to the public mood and finally break the deadlock on assisted dying.

30 years ago I was an election official filled with excitement for our first democratic election Today I’m an election observer for ⁦@groundworkcoll⁩. Metaphor for my life ?

@PariThomson @Waterstones @elisaupsidedown @MacmillanKidsUK Another beautiful edition. I can't wait to read it. Bravo Pari!

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

We’ve never been so close to making history.

We start 2024 with Bills moving forward in Scotland, Jersey & the Isle of Man.

Change is coming and there is a realistic prospect that some British citizens will have a legal option for assisted dying as early as 2025.

"It's important that the law catches up with what the country wants. At the moment, it’s not really working, is it?"

Powerful words from Esther Rantzen.

The UK is approaching a tipping point in the campaign to legalise assisted dying.

Thank you for saying this Esther. The public overwhelmingly supports your stance. It's now time for politicians to hear our voices and get on with changing the law. @dignityindying #assisteddying
