Assisted dying: MPs back bill to give some terminally ill people right to end lives in England and Wales – live

Terminally ill adults with less than six months to live will be given right to die under proposed legislation

Grant Shapps, the former Conservative cabinet minister, has complained the BBC is not giving enough prominence to the Louise Haigh resignation. He posted this on social media.

NEWS ALERT gone missing?

Whenever a Conservative minister resigned there was always a BBC news alert. Yet Starmer loses his first Cabinet Minister and somehow the BBC doesn’t think it’s relevant enough to send out an alert!
