Tomorrow, the Assisted Dying Bill returns to the Commons chamber.

It is not safe to become law and I will vote against it.

Here's why 👇

[Jess Asato MP @Jess4Lowestoft]

The Assisted Dying Bill is not progressive.

As I argue in the @DailyMirror, the cracks of inequality will become chasms in a world where an assisted death hangs over the most vulnerable - and they will fall through.

It's still not easy for politicians to change their mind about things once they've got a publicly-stated position. Kudos to @MPGeorgeFreeman for doing so in relation to the assisted dying bill - explains his reasons here.

@wendychambLD -  I agree there needs to be a Royal Commission on end of life care. Voting no to #AssistedDyingBill should be the start, not the end, of the conversation on end of life in the UK. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

@wendychambLD -  2/3rds of the public want you to be sorting out palliative, social and end of life care, and NHS waiting times. #AssistedDying is not the priority. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

@wendychambLD -  We need to start building a palliative care system that's fit for the future. #AssistedDying will undermine that. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

[PK @TheDocPK]

@wendychambLD - There's widespread misunderstanding among the public about what the term #AssistedDying means. A much longer national conversation is needed. Don't rush this through. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

@wendychambLD - It's ‘impossible’ to create safeguards that would prevent vulnerable people from being coerced into ending their lives. If in doubt, vote NO to #AssistedDyingBill. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

@wendychambLD #AssistedSuicide hits the poorest hardest. Disadvantaged families struggle most with the costs of a terminal illness. If you're at all hesitant, vote NO to #AssistedDyingBill. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

[PK @TheDocPK]

@wendychambLD - #AssistedDyingBill will corrupt the NHS. It's cheaper to offer #assistedsuicide than to give people the care they need. If you doubt, Vote NO. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

[PK @TheDocPK]

@wendychambLD - If in doubt, vote no to the #AssistedDyingBill. If we make this legal, the current state of the NHS is going to pressure some people into #assistedsuicide. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

[PK @TheDocPK]

@wendychambLD - Please vote no to the #AssistedDyingBill - it is inevitable that vulnerable people will be pressured into 'choosing' it. Learn more at https://t.co/FpGIbbLzaT

@MaxandrewsJ I oppose both routes

[Carol Davis @CarolUHS]

Very apposite to the interface between palliative and critical care too #ukccrg24

[LizLife @LizLife1]

Instead of #AssistedSuicide, policies should be improving End-of-Life Care. Putting Assisted Suicide on the table, takes away autonomy for everyone, especially the poor, disabled and already marginalized.

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

This book review moved me to tears. For 25 years, this man has carried the trauma of misunderstanding the changes in his mum's breathing as she was dying.
We all need to understand & talk about dying. Nobody should have to carry that unnecessary burden.

[Gray Connolly @GrayConnolly]

Every slippery slope argument against Euthanasia was insufficiently pessimistic about where killing the sick & vulnerable would lead.
