We’re going to end up with the King visiting parliament on Wednesday to read out a defunct legislative programme for a prime minister who isn’t going to be around to deliver it, aren’t we?

The assisted dying bill is set to have its final day of debate today. The statistics below explain why the bill has failed to pass. 🔽
Attention now turns to whether the bill will return in the next session, and the potential use of the Parliament Act.

The assisted dying bill has just finished its 13th day of Committee Stage today. Both sides now accept the bill will fall, but why is that? Thread analysing the bill's slow pace through Committee. 🧵

This is excellent from the @danielgover QMUL’S expert on the murky world of PMBs. Don’t always agree with him as a former PMB whip for the government - but his authority on the subject is beyond doubt. Very good analysis.

Aside from the assisted dying bill, what happened to all the other private members’ bills this session? I was asked about this for Today in Parliament on BBC Radio 4.

Very pleased to have been able to contribute to the latest Commons Library briefing paper on private members’ bills. commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-brief…

It is very definitely *not* “routine” for the Lords to fail to pass PMBs that have passed the Commons. Quite the opposite.
(Of course this bill is not “routine” either - but that is beside the point.)

EXC - Senior backers of the assisted dying bill now believe it will fall in the House of Lords. It's causing fury among MPs who backed it. Opponents say this is routine for private members bills and supporters should not have misled public on bill's chances.

New piece by me for @ConversationUK, explaining yesterday’s Lords vote on under-16s’ social media use.
‘The House of Lords has voted to stop under 16s using social media – what happens now?’

A very interesting @MileEndInst event today for @QMUL students about the budget.
Frank and insightful analysis from @p_ikek @JadeFrancesAzim @LeeDavidEvansUK, chaired by @DanielGover
Very good student turnout and questions.

Additional time in the Lords announced for the assisted dying bill. Seemed inevitable this would be needed, given exceptionally large number of amendments tabled - as recently documented by @mattengland3011 @HansardSociety.
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV
BREAKING: The Chief Whip in the House of Lords has assigned an extra ten days in the new year for the assisted dying bill to be debated. This makes it far less likely that the bill will run out of time.

I've written about how recognition of a Palestinian state has been a Labour position for years.
In 2014, @grahamemorris moved a motion, 'That this House believes that the Government should recognise the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel'

The assisted dying bill begins its substantive Lords scrutiny this Friday.

“True political strength lies not in the ability to punish dissent, but in the confidence to accommodate it”

“You're picking people who you believe that you can pick on and that's bullying, that's not discipline.”
Starmer suspending MPs is “punishment” for being “prematurely correct” on government policy, says former political secretary for Tony Blair, @JohnMcTernan.
