Really pleased that my colleague Lauren Edwards is reintroducing the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. Terminally ill people deserve to have choice at the end of life, and I’m so pleased that Parliament will now have the ability to make a final decision on this Bill.

NEW: The Assisted Dying Bill is returning to Parliament this week.
Labour MP Lauren Edwards will reintroduce it on Wednesday after coming 2nd in the private members’ ballot.
“The process has been frustrated by a small minority”, she argues.

🚨Breaking - Lauren Edwards will bring the assisted dying bill back.
The Labour MP says the process has been “frustrated” and she will use her spot on the private members bill ballot to return the bill to the Commons
Breaking: Right to Life's numbers show a massive majority in favour of assisted dying in the Lords ✅

This is not the end.
We won't stop fighting until every dying person has choice.

“This is so out of step with what normally happens, it feels quite clear to me that the intention is to delay or block the bill. “I think it’s outrageous that a small group of people in the Lords is doing this.”

ALT Front page of The Observer newspaper from Sunday, 1 February 2026. The masthead reads "THE OBSERVER" in large black letters, established 1791. The main headline in bold red and black spans the top: "The plot against democracy" with the subheadline "Inside the campaign to kill off the assisted dying bill" and a quote from Esther Rantzen: "These lords are not being honest". A large central photograph shows the backs of several elderly peers in traditional red robes with white ermine collars and gold detailing, standing in the House of Lords chamber, facing forward as if in debate or ceremony, with one holding papers

I was one of 291 MPs to vote against the assisted dying bill at its final stage in the Commons; I still have concerns about it.
But the idea that the House of Lords could block it by ‘talking it out’ is wrong. This is not a democratic way to deal with big questions like this.
David Pearce retweeted
MPs and Peers - from both sides of the debate - are recognising that some Peers are risking the reputation of the House by by continuing to delay progress.
The people and MPs have spoken. It’s time to legalise assisted dying.
Community notes on assisted dying content are nothing but a confirmation bias engine for opponents . One quick Google proves @HarrietHarman is right.

Public opinion is in favour of Assisted Dying Bill. It seems too that a majority of peers want Assisted Dying Bill to be thoroughly scrutinised and then get sent back to Commons. It is therefore not “The Lords” which is blocking the Bill, but a minority of peers who are frustrating the will of the majority of peers, public opinion & The Commons by filibustering .
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No evidence that public supports this bill. in fact, strong evidence that while they might support AD in principle, they oppose this bill. There is also no evidence that peers support the bill. static1.squarespace.com/static/63725a1…
No amount of shouting at people who support assisted dying life will change the facts.
This Bill has overwhelming public support and did so before, during, and after the Bill's progress through the Commons.

Today the Lords start the process of debating over 900 amendments (579 of which laid by just 7 peers) to the assisted dying Bill. As they do, lets hope they have people like Ed front of mind.

Lord Carey warns the Bishops Bench and the House of Lords about the profound consequences of rejecting a Bill with such a strong democratic mandate.

After intense scrutiny in the Commons, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill now proceeds to the House of Lords. This is an important part of the passage of the bill and I’m very grateful for the engagement so far from peers #ChoiceAtTheEndOfLife thetimes.com/uk/politics/art…
