MPs vote in favour of historic bill after emotional debate
www.bbc.co.uk
The bill passes the first stage in the Commons but will be followed by months of parliamentary activity before it becomes a law.

Some progress, finally.

Edit: for the benefit of the tinfoil hat wearers, assisted dying is not the same as euthanasia.

    Setting the moral discussion aside. I think Starmer will be worried that this will define his first term and absorb his ministers’ bandwidth as it is being implemented. He would have wanted to focus on the economy and his plans for “rebuilding” but that will get less oxygen in the media now.
