Quite literally peak House of Lords
NEW: 942 amendments have been laid down in the House of Lords ahead of the Assisted Dying Bill's committee stage in the chamber, which starts tomorrow.

This is believed to be a record for a bill at committee stage. It's going to be an intense debate.

This was discussed at the community assembly at the Green Phoenix event in Exeter on Sunday too. Although the discussion emphasised using risks to crops such as coffee & cocoa to focus minds. We already see increased price volatility due to weather in line with climate forecasts in these items.
