After 22 years, as of midnight tonight I will no longer be the MP for Poplar and Limehouse. It has been an honour and a privilege to serve our part of East London. I'd like to thank my constituents, my local Party, family, friends and staff for all their support over the years.

John Wilson recently died from bowel cancer. He spent his final moments pleading with the Lords not to block the assisted dying Bill. New polling clearly shows the public are behind him.

100,000 people signing this petition is a powerful warning to Westminster: the public will not accept dying people being ignored while a handful of unelected peers talk this Bill out dignityindying.org.uk/news/public-pr…

New polling confirms every Scottish constituency backs law change on assisted dying. Three terminally ill women stand on plinths outside the Scottish Parliament in tribute to those most harmed by the ban. Ahead of the final vote, they send a clear message: Scotland’s will is unwavering.

@bletchleypark Thanks for this important message about the role played by women at Bletchley Park. Both my mother Pat Ward (nee Max) and my aunt Margaret Max served at Bletchley Park during WW2.

Baroness Alexander warns a minority of Lords attempting to block the assisted dying Bill: Scrutiny is welcome, deliberate obstruction is not. Call on the Government to ensure democracy is upheld. dignityindying.org.uk/petition

@ObserverUK reports fears of filibustering on the assisted dying Bill. Just six Peers risk blocking the will of the public - sparking calls for Government intervention. Tell the government: unelected Lords must scrutinise bills - not block them: dignityindying.org.uk/petition

@matthewsyed is fear of their extreme version of Islam not a factor here? Aren’t we just hoping the “Spanish Inquisition”will just pass?

Lord Pannick cuts to the core: if a doctor says you have a progressive, terminal illness and are likely to die within six months, you should have the choice to use this Bill. Amendments that undermine that choice strike at the very heart and purpose of the legislation.
