On the eve of this vote, the Royal College of Physicians and Psychiatrists issued a strong warning that this current bill is still deeply flawed.
I hope that enough MPs now realise that it is not fit for purpose and reject it entirely at Third Reading next week

The more the scrutiny of this particular bill, the more MPs have deep concerns about its lack of safeguards for the vulnerable.
And many other aspects were not even voted on, such as the change of the nature of the NHS and the role of the Chief Medical Officer.

It had a Commons majority of 56 last November. That was cut to 36 last month on a key amendment. Today we saw a further cut of the majority to 21 and 26 on amendments.
And the final vote - a big defeat of 43 votes against those backing the bill - just underlined how uncomfortable MPs now are.

We all desperately hope the ceasefire does not break down.
We need all the hostages out, more aid in, huge rebuilding of Gaza, and a genuine path to a two state solution.

Husam praised the Labour govt for real progress on suspending arms to Israel in Gaza, supporting UNRWA, respecting ICJ + ICC and sanctioning illegal settlements.
But he’s right there’s so much more we can do to help the Palestinian people get the justice, peace and statehood they deserve.
