Liberty director Akiko Hart said while the organisation supports assisted dying in principle, the Bill is “just not robust enough,” urging MPs to oppose it if they “find it wanting.”

She said: “It is possible to support assisted dying, as Liberty does in principle, but recognise that there are significant shortcomings in this Bill that present serious safeguarding risks which are hard to look past.

    More and more Labour grandees are coming out against the bill. Doesn’t look good for its passage.

    Gordon Brown, son of a preacher man (hooooooo), has said this morning that the death of his young daughter has proved to him that assisted dying is wrong. As if a child could consent to assisted dying. FFS. Religion.

    Not robust enough?

    I’d say there’s too many hoops to jump through.

    Also, “don’t make doctors killers”. Have these people ever heard of triage?
