We are so very sad to hear of the death of Dame Esther Rantzen.
Esther spent a lifetime standing up for people who needed someone in their corner. Through Childline, The Silver Line and so many years of campaigning, she used her voice to make a difference to countless lives. 1/

Today, MPs get a chance to vote with courage and compassion, they must meet the moment and pass the Assisted Dying Bill.
Do it for Colin.
"My brother died distraught, desolate and in despair - now MPs must back assisted dying"

Yesterday, terminally ill mum Hannah Slater spoke directly to MPs about why choice at the end of her life matters.
With opponents questioning whether this Bill is wanted or adequately safeguarded, conversations like these matter.
Dying people need to be heard and respected.

Andy Burnham is right that palliative and social care need urgent investment.
But dying people should not have to wait until politicians fix problems left unresolved for decades.
Better care and assisted dying are not competing alternatives.

🗳️ La France adopte l'aide à mourir !
@JonathanDenis, président de l'Association pour le Droit de Mourir dans la Dignité, déclare ce mercredi 15 juillet 2026 : "C'est avec gravité et beaucoup d'émotion que j'ai suivi les ultimes discussions à l'@AssembleeNat qui ont mené à ce vote majoritaire en faveur de la proposition de loi relative au droit à l'aide à mourir. À cet instant, je pense à toutes celles et à tous ceux que nous avons accompagnés et soutenus."

The #AssistedDyingBill is back in the Lords today. Nearly 95 peers spoke last week. With around 190 expected to take part in total, this will be the longest debate – with the most speakers – ever held on a Private Members’ Bill in history. We'll be posting highlight clips in 🧵

All too often, the absence of a legal right to assisted dying in the UK forces families into tragic situations that could have been spared – if only they had the option to speak openly with their loved ones about this choice. As Lord Alderdice describes here. #AssistedDyingBill @AlderdiceLord

Powerful personal testimony from Lord Forsyth in Parliament today. "I have thought about that long and hard. And as a Christian, I’ve come to the conclusion my father was right and I was wrong."

A sunny morning outside Parliament right now, and people are starting to gather for the #AssistedDyingBill rally. The House of Lords debate is due to start at 10:00. Our message: Support assisted dying for the terminally ill, freedom of choice, and stop exporting compassion!
DIGNITAS retweeted
This will fill so many people with hope for the future. We will continue to support this bill as it moves through Parliament.
What a moment.

We’re here outside the Houses of Parliament at a packed rally in support of assisted dying ahead of this afternoon’s vote. We’re urging MPs to vote in favour of the Bill and give individuals choice, compassion, and autonomy at the end of their lives.

With MPs voting on assisted dying next Friday, our new study shows that 73% of Britons think, in principle, that assisted dying should be legal – only 13% say it should not - with widespread support across all social groups

Human Rights Minister Tara Cheyne said the ACT's long-awaited Voluntary Assisted Dying law would set a future standard for other parliaments.
The Legislative Assembly voted to support the law, 20 votes to five.

It's about freedom of choice.
It's about dignity, democracy, and acting for terminally ill and incurably suffering people.
It's about compassion. Legalise assisted dying.
