I have reflected at length about what happened in Parliament on Friday. Thank you to everyone who has contacted me with their heartbreaking personal stories and campaigned on this issue for far too long. I am so sorry. Please see my statement below. Many thanks, Kim
Assisted Dying is regrettably killed, denying people in England and Wales a basic right unless they can afford to fly to Switzerland and book into the Dignitas clinic.
Assisted Dying: Same bill, same parliament.
The different result was not on principle but a procedural issue caused by a tiny number of unelected peers who think themselves more important than the rest of us - elected or not. So self-reverent any means are justified to them.
