The New Year can stir up all kinds of complicated feelings, especially if you’re already having a hard time. Add in the pressure to celebrate and it can all just feel like too much.
If you find this a hard time of year, you're not on your own – we’ll be here all night long 💚

Whatever your view on assisted dying, this Commons debate has shown MPs at their best: thoughtful, measured, respectful, non-partisan. A good antidote to those who think they're all in it for themselves.

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.

The cross party Health and Social Care Committee reported after studying Assisted Dying in Canada, Australia etc. that they found no evidence of coercion, nor of the so-called slippery slope, no adverse effects to palliative care. And no country has repealed their law.

"This is not just for the few dying horribly: everyone will die, and everyone who ever thinks about what kind of death they could face deserves to know they can go when they choose at the end." @pollytoynbee

Compassion and safety are the cornerstones of Kim Leadbeater MP’s assisted dying bill; bringing choice to those who want and need it as they die, but also introducing regulation and scrutiny where there is currently none. That benefits us all.

“I don’t want to suffer and I don’t want my family to suffer.”
Thank you @kimleadbeater for speaking with @sophieRblake who has terminal cancer and is fighting for change.
For Sophie, an assisted dying law would mean she could live her life to the full, without fear of death.

Thanks you to @kimleadbeater for bringing this bill forward.
This is a chance to right the wrongs of this cruel law. It is already too late for so many, but we need to do this for people suffering now and in the future.

BREAKING: @kimleadbeater is bringing forward a bill to legalise assisted dying.
She recently topped the ballot for private members bills. A vote is likely before Xmas.
Parliament has debated this before, but it looks more likely to pass than ever.

BREAKING: Lord Falconer has come second in the Lords private members bill ballot, wishing to introduce a bill to legalise assisted dying.
This is a significant moment, because Keir Starmer told me in March he would support such a bill (though it’ll be a free vote).

What an amazing man #DrMichaelMosley was. Friendly, open, modest, highly intelligent but also a born communicator — so rare. An adult mind, a child's curiosity. He did everything with enthusiasm. We're all going to miss him so much @BBCRadio2.

Thank you, London. It's the honour of my life to serve the city I love. 🙏🏿
Today is not about making history, it’s about shaping our future.
And I'll work relentlessly to shape a fairer, safer, greener city for every Londoner.

Today as Parliament meets to discuss assisted dying, we and @MDMDmydecision are rallying to support the right to choose when and how we die.
We're reminding MPs that well over 80% of the British public supports a compassionate right to die law.

Our supporter, Dave Sowry, on @GMB this morning ahead of the Westminster Hall debate on #AssistedDying.
Dave speaks from the heart about his dear wife’s experience of dying at Dignitas. We are glad she had a compassionate death, but she should never have had to travel abroad!
