Dignity in Dying
@dignityindying.org.uk
We believe in choice at the end of life. Including the option of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.
As 2025 draws to a close, we want to thank you for being part of a transformative year for choice at the end of life.
Courage, compassion and persistence turned decades of advocacy into real progress.
Together, let’s make 2026 the year the UK delivers true choice at the end of life.

There is strong backing for the assisted dying Bill.
When people hear what the Bill actually does, more than seven in ten support it.

I met Maddie this week. She is an inspiration & spoke so eloquently about the importance of the Assisted Dying legislation.
The current law is unsafe & unfair.
It’s time to give everyone the opportunity for a dignified death where the terminally ill r in control
The Lords must not try to wreck this

‘Cruel’ amendments are being used to thwart assisted dying bill, says lead MP
Lords’ demand for 1,150 changes include many that are ‘unnecessary’ and likely to run down clock, says Kim Leadbeater

UK politics live – latest updates
Members of the House of Lords have proposed “totally unnecessary” and “very cruel” amendments to the assisted dying bill in a bid to scupper it, the MP leading the campaign has said.
Kim Leadbeater said on Friday she believed that peers opposed to the bill were trying to block it by putting forward hundreds of changes, including one to film terminally ill people as they undergo an assisted death. Continue reading...

behaviour of some Peers deeply distressing. just met with people directly affected - those dying & those who have watched family die.
This is no longer genuine scrutiny & attempts to improve. Denying dying people right to travel, exempting anyone with a family member who has a fraud conviction. 😡

Peers’ delay of assisted dying bill ‘could lead to constitutional crisis’
Opponents are playing with fire with 1,100 amendments, critics say, as filibuster tactics to defeat Kim Leadbeater’s law ‘threaten the upper chamber’s future’

It has been a year since Chris Bryant voted in favour of the bill. I hope that support continues as the bill proceeds through the house of commons.

Exactly. A minority of members of the house of Lords must not attempt to delay a Bill backed by the public and Commons.
Sabotage by the House of Lords. And the UK terminally ill will bear the brunt of their delaying tactics.
Shame on them.
