New polling shows the public wants the assisted dying bill brought back.

7 in 10 people want assisted dying debate to continue until Parliament reaches a decision, with 6 in 10 agreeing the Government should act to facilitate this.

MPs back this bill. The public backs this bill. We demand action.

"The landmark legislation was backed by the Commons in two votes but ran out of time in the House of Lords. Dozens of supporters are entering the draw in the hope of bringing it back."

MPs must fulfil their democratic commitment to dying people, and bring back the assisted dying bill.

A warmer and more humid feel for many of us on Thursday, but will there be any sunshine to go along with the higher temperatures or will your umbrella still be required?

MPs must bring back the assisted dying Bill to restore the public’s faith in Parliament.

They have unfinished business - and a democratic commitment to dying people to back this Bill again.

Prince William has written a letter of support for two brothers who are running 33 marathons to raise funds for dementia research. 💌

Jordan and Cian Adams were diagnosed with a rare gene that causes early-onset frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Jordan, 30, is running 33 marathons in 33 days to raise funds and awareness for dementia, with help from physio brother Cian, 25.

Prince William wrote:

“Taking on such a demanding challenge, to honour your mother’s memory and raise awareness of frontotemporal dementia, speaks to your remarkable strength.

“You are inspiring people far beyond those who stood along the marathon route here in London, and those who will no doubt be cheering you on along the roads of Ireland.

“It takes great courage and generosity to turn such personal adversity into hope for others. By sharing your story so openly, you are helping to change the understanding of dementia and giving countless families strength, comfort, and a sense that they are not alone.

“I hope you are both proud of all you have accomplished so far and wish you both every success for the road ahead.” ❤️‍🩹

Late sunny spells for parts of England and Wales with some patchy rain just flirting with the south coast 🌇

Damp in Scotland with outbreaks of rain sinking southwards this evening followed by showers, possibly wintry over the mountains ☔

Did you know UK rules let companies get away with slave labour, illegal deforestation and more? A new law could end this - please join me and sign the petition to stop corporate abuses now👇 https://t.co/NeOKDlKY24 via @38degrees

Out of this world! 🪐✨

As a special surprise during His Majesty’s last engagement in Bermuda, The King was shown a video message from Canadian astronaut Colonel Jeremy Hansen, filmed during his journey around the moon on Artemis II.

Colonel Hansen thanked The King for his well wishes and reflections on environmental stewardship, ahead of their historic mission. 🌒

In a bid to ensure space is safe and clutter-free, the UK Space Agency is launching “Project Nova” – installing five telescopes sites worldwide to track space debris and support international sustainability.

🇧🇲 Bermuda is the first of those locations – and this morning, The King officially launched the project.

In 2022, The King’s Sustainable Markets Initiative launched the ‘Astra Carta’ to act as a framework to inspire sustainability across the space industry.
