Conservatives for Choice at the End of Life

We are an independent group of Conservatives campaigning to give mentally competent, terminally ill adults the right to choose an assisted death.

Jersey joins the Isle of Man in legalising assisted dying for terminally ill adults. In Wales, the Senedd gave legislative consent for law change this week. Westminster must enact the will of the Commons and change the law #AssistedDying

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

Jersey passes assisted dying legislation but bill for England and Wales remains blocked https://t.co/73R5IWkZVr

The Lords should send a Bill back to the Commons. If a few anti-choice Peers try to use procedural shenanigans to talk it out, it will just reappear in the next session. So they’ll achieve nothing and put the reputation of the Lords at risk.

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

NEW: In a joint letter, senior peers including 3 former cabinet secretaries and 3 former Lords speakers have warned peers not to use procedural manoeuvres to thwart the assisted dying bill.

With 1,100+ amendments tabled, they warn the reputation of Parliament is on the line.

@ToryReformGroup What are you talking about? It’s a PMB not a Government Bill.

[Conservatives for Choice at the End of Life @Cons4Choice]

Exactly

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

If you've been given six months left to live and passionately want to end your own life before you experience the most debilitating pain, embarrassing delirium, and unedifying decay - why should the state forbid you from doing so?

[YouGov @YouGov]

73% of Britons support the assisted dying bill as it stands, ahead of its final Commons vote tomorrow

Support: 73% (no change from 19-20 Nov 2024 to 15-16 May 2025)
Oppose: 16% (+3)

Opponents of assisted dying make it up as they go along.

[BBC Newsnight @BBCNewsnight]

“You had a principled position, big societal changes cannot be... rushed”

#Newsnight asks Polly Billington if she really has a principled position on assisted dying after supporting changes to abortion laws where “backbench MPs could only speak for 46 minutes” prior to a vote

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

NEW: Leader of the House Lucy Powell has responded to Labour MPs who called for more time to debate the assisted dying bill, refusing to extend the timetable.

She says it’s not a matter for govt but the house and the debate has already lasted as long as a major govt bill would.

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

“The process has been incredibly thorough…there was over 90 hours of Committee stage debate.”

Important clarity from the Leader of the House – the assisted dying Bill has received more scrutiny than most government bills.

[Conservatives for Choice at the End of Life @Cons4Choice]

Around the world, politicians are giving dying people more choice and control https://t.co/jvoDxDSvcE

[Conservatives for Choice at the End of Life @Cons4Choice]

@KEdge23 Yes. It gives dying people more choice and control. A

[Líse McNally @LiseMcNally]

NEW: Parliament's newest MP @SarahForRuncorn confirms she WILL back the assisted dying bill.

The Reform UK MP says she knows not all her constituents will agree, but "we have been elected to give our opinions, and I've considered all the facts"

A significant debate and step towards solving problems with the status quo and giving dying people more choice and control over their lives.

[Dr Neil Shastri-Hurst MP @DrNShastriHurst]

The End of Life Bill must be clear in purpose, cautious in application, and compassionate in impact. Watch my speech from today’s Report Stage:

[PoliticsHome @politicshome]

We support the assisted dying bill because of our medical backgrounds, not despite them, write @DrNShastriHurst & @BeccyCooper4Lab https://t.co/QThrIwQoKB

[Conservatives for Choice at the End of Life @Cons4Choice]

Ruth Davidson says voting against assisted dying is “without doubt, my biggest regret in politics”. This week, both MSPs and MPs have a chance to support giving dying people more choice and control. #AssistedDying #AssistedDyingBill

An historic moment for terminally ill people in the British Isles

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

BREAKING: The Isle of Man’s Parliament has become the first in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying.

It will be available to residents of the island with a terminal illness and less than 12 months to live.

The service is expected to begin running in 2027.

A timely reminder for MPs of all parties that public support for giving terminally ill, mentally competent adults the choice of an assisted death remains high and stable: 79% support, only 17% oppose #assisteddying https://t.co/bGY0AjBBey
