MPs who voted in favour of the assisted dying bill have raised concerns about parts of it and want to see changes before giving it final approval. Some are worried about the bill's provisions to allow doctors to raise assisted dying as an option without the terminally ill patient having asked for it first.

As Parliament debated the merits of enabling sociopaths to coerce the vulnerable into a premature death, a peculiar little row broke out. The Tory MP Danny Kruger – who opposes the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill – had just uttered the words “assisted suicide”.

The majority of Conservative MPs voted against (an 80/20 split, so a score of 0.60), along with most of the independents who voted, and the majority of the MPs from Northern Ireland (the DUP’s 1.0 score mirroring the Greens). And the SNP abstained en bloc.
