The Assisted Death bill is revived: @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social will take the Bill under her name. Division ahead: this hastily drafted Bill was opposed by medical colleges and disability groups. And it had fierce criticism on its risk to women 🧵

The Other Half is a non partisan think tank developing policy in the interests of women.
Hoping someone who has come high in PMB ballot might consider a Bill to ensure universal & fair access to palliative care. Desmond Swayne , Lauren Edwards MP @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social , Dr Luke Evans @drlukeevans.org.uk It would be something that unites the whole community. #PalliativeCareForAll
Backers of the Leadbeater assisted dying Bill want @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social to take this Bill under her name, and push it through into law. That's why local residents in Rochester & Strood turned out this morning to share their opposition
The Leadbeater assisted dying PMB failed under scrutiny. But plans are afoot to revive it, and force it into law. Pressure is now being put on Labour MP @laurenedwardsmp.bsky.social to put her name to the Bill. We turned out with her constituents to ask her to make a different choice.

NEW MRP poll: In the largest poll on assisted death since the Leadbeater Bill emerged, fewer than 1 in 10 Brits want their MP to prioritise the assisted death Bill.
