PM hints he will back crunch vote on assisted dying

THE Prime Minister has indicated he will back the assisted dying Bill ahead of a crunch vote, as opponents warned against legislation they say is not safe enough to protect the most vulnerable.

The result of tomorrow's expected vote could see the Terminally III Adults (End of Life) Bill either progress to the House of Lords or fall completely.

Sir Keir Starmer, who voted yes in November and also supported a 2015 attempt to legislate for assisted dying, said his position on the issue is “long-standing and well-known” - giving no suggestion his mind had changed on the matter.
