What is the background to the MPs’ vote on assisted dying? | Assisted dying
Labour MP Kim Leadbeater is introducing a private member’s bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales. The bill is expected to allow terminally ill adults with a limited prognosis to have the option to end their life.
There would be strict eligibility criteria, including mental competence, assessment by two independent doctors and a likely requirement for drugs to be self-administered.
Leadbeater’s bill will get its second reading, involving an MPs’ vote, on 29 November. If it passes, the bill will be scrutinised by a parliamentary committee, when MPs can table amendments. It will later be voted on by the House of Lords, before returning to the Commons.
What is the current law?
At the moment, assisting a suicide in England and Wales is a crime with a maximum sentence of 14 years. A similar law is in place in Northern Ireland. In Scotland, there is no specific crime but helping a person to die could lead to prosecution for culpable homicide.
Why is there a move now to change the law?
Momentum has been building in recent months. Dame Esther Rantzen, the television presenter and campaigner, triggered a national debate last December when she said she may travel to Switzerland for an assisted death after being told her lung cancer was terminal. Within days, leaders of the main political parties at Westminster said they would allow parliamentary time for a bill.
Campaigners for assisted dying say the UK is lagging behind many jurisdictions in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, and the time has come for the UK to enact this major social change. Parliaments in Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Man are all considering laws allowing assisted dying.
Is the Westminster parliament expected to back the bill?
There will be a free vote on the issue, meaning MPs will not be told by party whips whether to support the bill or oppose it. The last time parliamentary opinion was tested in a vote was in 2015, when a bill was overwhelmingly rejected by 330 votes to 118.
In the past nine years, hundreds of new MPs have entered parliament, and it is thought that many support a change in the law. Keir Starmer has previously indicated support for assisted dying although he has declined to be drawn on how he will vote on Leadbeater’s bill.
There are both supporters and opponents within the cabinet. Both candidates for the Conservative party leadership have suggested they would vote against change. In the House of Lords, opinion is also divided.
What does the public think?
A survey of 10,000 people by Opinium on behalf of Dignity in Dying earlier this year found that 75% backed the legalisation of assisted dying, with 14% opposed.
A recent poll by Ipsos found that 66% said it should be legal for a doctor to assist a terminally ill person to end his or her life, against 16% who said it should not be legal. Opponents of assisted dying say such polls do not reflect people’s considered opinions once they are presented with more detailed information.
What are the main arguments in favour of assisted dying?
Advocates say people facing a death involving extreme pain and suffering should be allowed to have control over the end of their life, and be able to die with dignity, surrounded by loved ones at a time of their choosing.
Many campaigners say they have witnessed appalling suffering and loved ones begging to be released from pain. They argue assisted dying is about autonomy and shortening a process that is already under way. Assisted dying is seen by many supporters as a new frontier in progressive social change and self-determination.
What are the main arguments against?
Opponents argue that legalising assisted dying inevitably leads to a loosening of criteria, pointing out that in some jurisdictions the option has been extended to people with mental health issues or conditions that aren’t necessarily terminal – the so-called slippery slope.
Legalising assisted dying could put pressure on vulnerable people to end their lives for fear of being a financial, emotional or care burden, with disabled, elderly, sick or depressed people especially at risk. First-class palliative care should be available and properly resourced instead. The state should not be sanctioning suicide, opponents say.
What is happening elsewhere?
The Isle of Man may become the first place in the British Isles to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill residents. Jersey, which also has its own parliament, is expected to pass a similar law. Legislation on assisted dying has been proposed in the Scottish parliament.
More than 30 jurisdictions across the world have some form of assisted dying. They include 11 states in the US, some states in Australia plus Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and Switzerland.
Unusually, Switzerland allows people from other countries to have an assisted death. Dignitas, the Zurich-based organisation, told British MPs last year that it had helped 540 Britons to die. A Dignitas-assisted death costs about £10,000, and those accompanying a loved one face the risk of investigation and prosecution when they return from Switzerland.

UK and Germany to sign landmark ‘defence’ treaty
![Is Reform UK's plan to get Farage into No 10 mission impossible?](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/grey-placeholder.png)
![Getty Images John Healey shakes hands with Boris Pistorius](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/7c13/live/8c199da0-90a4-11ef-9a6f-f168a30a8766.jpg.webp)
Britain and Germany will sign what the UK government is calling a “landmark defence agreement” aimed at boosting security, investment and jobs.
Under the agreement, German defence company Rheinmetall will open a new factory in the UK to manufacture barrels for artillery guns – supporting 400 jobs.
Both countries will work together to develop drones and a new long-range missile.
German maritime surveillance aircraft will also periodically fly patrols of the North Atlantic from RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland.
Labour promised to build closer military ties with Germany while in opposition and this is part of a wider push by this government to reset relations with key European allies post Brexit.
The German Ambassador to the UK, Miguel Berger, said the European Commission will have a very strong focus on defence in the next five years, and there is space for the UK to be involved.
“Obviously the question is – what can the role of the British defence industry and of the capacities of the United Kingdom be in this joint endeavour?” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
The UK already has a defence pact with France – the Lancaster House Treaty signed in 2010 by David Cameron and Nicholas Sarkozy – but this is the first with Germany.
Germany and the UK are the two largest defence spenders in Europe and the biggest European military donors to Ukraine.
Defence Secretary John Healey said it was a “milestone moment”, bringing the two countries’ militaries and defence industries closer.
In reality the two nations already co-operate as members of the Nato alliance.
In a joint venture, they are also building new tanks and armoured vehicles for the British Army, Germany’s Rheinmetall and the UK’s BAE Systems-formed RBSL to manufacture the Boxer armoured fighting vehicle and the latest Challenger 3 tank in Telford, Shropshire.
![PA Media A man in a helmet standing in the Forge Shop at Sheffield Forgemasters](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/4f13/live/145ae700-90a5-11ef-89ae-5575c76d98e6.jpg.webp)
Under the new Trinity House Agreement, Rheinmetall will build a factory in the UK to produce barrels for artillery guns – something the UK stopped doing more than a decade ago.
The site for the factory has not yet been announced, but the Ministry of Defence (MOD) says it will support more than 400 jobs and use British steel produced by Sheffield Forgemasters.
The steelmaker was recently acquired by the UK Government. The first artillery gun barrels are expected to roll off the production line in 2027.
The Trinity House Agreement also includes a commitment to develop a new long-range missile, which the MOD says will be more precise and can be fired further than any current systems – the UK’s Storm Shadow and Germany’s Taurus. Unlike the UK, Germany has refused to supply Ukraine with its Taurus cruise missile.
The UK and Germany will further co-operate on developing drones that might be able to fly alongside Typhoon jets operated by both countries.
German P8 maritime surveillance aircraft will periodically operate out of RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland to help patrol the North Atlantic. Other Nato allies have been doing the same for a number of years.
There is also a promise to bolster the defence of Nato’s eastern flank; both the UK and Germany have already sent hundreds of troops to the Baltic states as part of Nato’s enhanced defence plans following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Germany’s Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said the agreement would strengthen Europe and Nato.
“We must not take security in Europe for granted,” he said, adding the projects being undertaken would be open to other partners.

Government to revive police firearms review
![Government to revive police firearms review](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/c7593890-9102-11ef-b3c2-754b6219680e.jpg)
The government will revive a review into how police officers who take fatal shots in the line of duty are held to account following the shooting of Chris Kaba, the prime minister said.
The probe was initially launched by the previous government, but will now be completed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Sir Keir Starmer said it was important that the public have confidence in the police and that police have confidence in the government.
It comes days after police officer Martyn Blake was cleared of the murder of Mr Kaba.
“We are going to pick [the probe] up and complete that accountability review because it is important that the public have confidence in the police including of course the armed police,” Sir Keir said.
“It’s also important that the police know that we have confidence in them doing a very difficult job, so we will pick that up.”
He added that more details would be available later on Wednesday when Ms Cooper makes a statement in the House of Commons.
Under the current law, every armed police officer is personally responsible for their actions. Officers cannot use more force than is necessary to neutralise a threat.
A superior officer cannot tell a police officer to pull the trigger – nor can there be a pre-emptive tactical decision to shoot a suspect whatever the circumstances.
On Monday, police officer Mr Blake was cleared of murdering Chris Kaba, who he shot in the head during a police vehicle stop in south London two years ago.
It has since been revealed that Mr Kaba had shot a man in a nightclub days before his own death.
Reacting to the verdict Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said no police officer was above the law but said the force had been clear “the system holding police to account is broken”.
“I worry about the lack of support officers face for doing their best, but most of all, I worry for the public,” he said.
“The more we crush the spirit of good officers, the less they can fight crime – that risks London becoming less safe.”
Abimbola Johnson, a barrister on a scrutiny board set up by the National Police Chiefs Council in the summer to boost confidence among minority ethnic people, warned against using the Kaba case to push for legislative change.
“It is already extremely rare for us to see police officers being prosecuted under the criminal justice system for action they have conducted whilst in the line of duty,” she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
She added: “This is not a typical case, therefore, using this as a reason to push for legislative change, it doesn’t make sense, because this isn’t normally what would happen throughout the process.”

Labour volunteers in US helping Harris ‘in spare time’
![Labour volunteers in US helping Harris 'in spare time'](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/d83381b0-90d6-11ef-88cc-4d9c57e8582b.jpg)
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has sought to play down the significance of alleged interference by the Labour Party in the American presidential election.
The Trump Campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission in Washington seeking an immediate investigation – after the Head of Operations for the Labour Party, Sofia Patel, posted on social media that she had “ten spots available” for anyone willing to travel to North Carolina to campaign for Kamala Harris, adding “we will sort your housing”.
She said she had around 100 current and former party staff heading to America before polling day.
The post, on LinkedIn, has since been deleted.
Foreign nationals are permitted to serve as volunteers on campaigns in the US as long as they are not compensated, according to Federal Election Commission rules.
The complaint from the Trump Campaign is both pointed and theatrical.
“When representatives of the British government previously sought to go door-to-door in America, it did not end well for them,” it read.
That is a matter-of-fact reference to US independence around 250 years ago.
On matters more contemporary it requests “an immediate investigation” into what it calls “blatant foreign interference”.
Speaking to reporters while flying to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit in Samoa in the south Pacific, the prime minister said: “The Labour Party has volunteers, [they] have gone over pretty much every election.
“They’re doing it in their spare time. They’re doing it as volunteers. They’re staying I think with other volunteers over there.”
The Trump Campaign letter to the Federal Election Commission also says: “Morgan McSweeney, the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, director of communications, attended the (Democratic) convention in Chicago and met with Ms Harris’ campaign team.
“Deborah Mattinson, Sir Keir’s director of strategy, also went to Washington in September to brief Ms Harris’ presidential campaign on Labour’s election-winning approach.”
Ms Mattinson no longer works for the Labour Party.
Party sources say Mr Doyle and Mr McSweeney went to the Democratic Convention in their own time, and that the Democratic Party didn’t pay their travel and accommodation costs.
It isn’t clear who did.
Asked if the row risked jeopardising his relationship with Donald Trump, the prime minister said “no” – pointing to the dinner the two men had together at Trump Tower in New York last month.
“We established a good relationship. We’re grateful for him for making the time… for that dinner,” Sir Keir said.
“We had a good, constructive discussion and, of course as prime minister of the United Kingdom I will work with whoever the American people return as their President in their elections, which are very close now.”
Sir Keir has never met the Vice-President Harris, Trump’s Democratic rival.
But he has met President Biden several times since becoming prime minister in July.

Reeves confirms Budget spending deals struck with all departments
![Is Reform UK's plan to get Farage into No 10 mission impossible?](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/grey-placeholder.png)
![BBC Rachel Reeves speaks from her office sitting on a chair amid the grand surroundings of the Treasury, including gold leaf furniture and red wallpaper.](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/16b6/live/b85ca700-90a8-11ef-b3c2-754b6219680e.jpg.webp)
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she has now reached spending settlements with all government departments ahead of her much-anticipated Budget on 30 October.
It comes after reports of Treasury rows with multiple departments over the expected scale of spending cuts.
Reeves told BBC Radio 5’s Matt Chorley she had struck deals with all her cabinet colleagues – and in line with tradition, popped all balloons put up in the Treasury to represent each department’s funding agreement.
While sympathising with “the mess” her colleagues had inherited, Reeves insisted departments needed to find savings to balance the budget.
In recent Budgets, chancellors have adopted the tradition of hanging balloons in the office of the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to represent spending deals that must be negotiated with government departments.
As settlements are reached, the balloons are popped.
In the exclusive interview, Reeves said: “There are no balloons left in the Chief Secretary’s office – the balloons have been burst.”
In the run-up to the Budget there have been growing reports of unease in the Cabinet over the spending cuts needed to meet the Treasury’s target of finding £40bn of savings.
Sky News reported that the Treasury missed its initial 16 October deadline to finalise all major Budget measures for submission to spending watchdog the Office of Budget Responsibility ahead of the Budget.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner who runs the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, as well as Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood and Transport Secretary Louise Haigh have all been reported as writing to Sir Keir Starmer to complain about the scale of cuts their departments were facing.
Haigh has since told the BBC she did not write a letter, but had been having Budget negotiations with the Treasury “in the normal way”.
Addressing reports colleagues had gone over her head to take their concerns about budget cuts directly to the prime minister, Reeves said, “I wouldn’t believe everything you read” in the media.
But she went on to say it was “perfectly reasonable that Cabinet colleagues set out their case – both to me as chancellor and to the prime minister, about the scale of the challenges that they find in their departments”.
“I’m very sympathetic towards the mess that my colleagues have inherited”, Reeves said.
“But any additional money, in the end, it has to be paid for either by taking money from other departments or raising taxes.”
Taxes on ‘working people’
The Labour manifesto promised not to raise income tax rates, national insurance or VAT to protect “working people”.
Labour also campaigned on a pledge not to “return to austerity” – the programme of deep spending cuts and tax hikes aimed at reducing the UK’s budget deficit pursued by the 2010 Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition.
“All of those things mean that we do need to find additional money,” Reeves said.
Reeves admitted this meant she was considering tweaks to “other taxes to ensure the sums add up”.
“We were clear during the election campaign, you can’t undo 14 years of damage in one Budget or in just a few months,” she said.
“It is going to take time to rebuild our public services to ensure that working people are better off and to fix the foundations of our economy and our society as well.”
![Getty Images Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves sit in a parliamentary office in front of leatherbound books going through files as they prepare for the Tory Spring Budget in Parliament.](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/480/cpsprodpb/9bf0/live/5f1047f0-90a9-11ef-89ae-5575c76d98e6.jpg.webp)
As she looks to balance the first Labour Budget in 14 years, Reeves admitted she speaks to several major political figures.
“I speak to Gordon regularly – I also speak to Tony Blair regularly,” she said.
She also maintains a “good relationship” with her predecessor Jeremy Hunt, regularly messaging the Conservative shadow chancellor.
“I may not be particularly impressed with the state of the public finances that he left me, but I do recognise that after Kwasi Kwarteng, he had a tough job to do as well,” she said.
The one person she wishes she could “pick up the phone to now” is Alistair Darling, the last Labour chancellor to deliver a Budget – who died last year aged 70.
Lord Darling served in cabinet for 13 years under both Blair and Brown, and was best known as the chancellor who steered the UK through the 2008 financial crisis.
“I hope that he would be proud of what I’m doing as the next Labour chancellor after him,” she said.
Reeves spoke about her pride at being the first female chancellor in the role’s 800-year history.
Becoming chancellor was “beyond what a girl like me, from the ordinary background that I came from, could have ever dreamed of,” Reeves said.
Now in her “dream job”, Reeves said, “one of the wonderful things in the first few months of doing this job is to meet female finance ministers from around the world” – such as US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian finance minister.
“I take a lot of inspiration from those amazing women and so many others,” Reeves said.

Trump accuses UK’s Labour Party of ‘foreign interference’
![Trump accuses UK's Labour Party of 'foreign interference'](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/88740f10-90c1-11ef-a00b-bf90e82124be.png)
Donald Trump’s campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the UK’s Labour Party, accusing it of “blatant foreign interference” in the US election in aid of the Harris-Walz campaign.
The complaint cites media reports about contact between Labour and the Harris campaign, as well as apparent volunteering efforts, arguing that this amounts to illegal “contributions”.
The BBC understands that Labour activists campaigning in the US presidential election are doing so in a personal capacity.
The Labour Party has not issued an official response.
Specifically, the complaint cites newspaper reporting that Labour-linked individuals have travelled to the US to campaign for Harris.
That reporting, the complaint alleges, creates a “reasonable inference that the Labour Party has made, and the Harris campaign has accepted, illegal foreign national contributions.”
The letter refers to Washington Post reporting that communications were exchanged between the parties and that senior officials have met in private.
Additionally, the complaint cites a social media post on LinkedIn in which a Labour staff member said that “nearly 100” current and former party members will be headed to battleground states in the US.
The post, from Labour Party head of operations Sofia Patel, added that 10 “spots” are available and that “we will sort your housing”.
It appears to have since been deleted.
The complaint makes comparisons to an international programme in 2016 in which the Australian Labor Party, or ALP, sent delegates to help with Bernie Sanders’ campaign.
In that instance, however, the ALP paid for flights and daily stipends. The party and the campaign were each handed down civil penalties of $14,500.
Labour activists’ trips were not organised or funded by the party, it is understood from party officials.
Foreign nationals are permitted to serve as campaign volunteers as long as they are not compensated, according to FEC rules.
It is considered normal for party officials from the UK to be in contact with counterparts in the US.
It also has taken place previously between the UK’s Conservative Party and US Republicans.
The BBC has contacted the Harris-Walz campaign for comment.

Starmer warns Russia attacks in Ukraine risk global food security
![Starmer warns Russia attacks in Ukraine risk global food security](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/c54e1f90-90b0-11ef-abfd-93fdbbdc7adf.jpg)
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has warned that Russia is stepping up attacks on Ukrainian ports in the Black Sea – delaying the export of agricultural produce, including aid intended for Palestinians caught up in the conflict with Israel.
During several days of strikes in early October, Russian weapons hit at least four cargo ships, including one reportedly carrying 6,000 tonnes of corn.
Sir Keir said that Russia’s President Vladimir Putin was willing “to gamble on global food security in his attempts to force Ukraine into submission”.
The prime minister’s remarks came as he travels to the Pacific Island of Samoa for a meeting of Commonwealth heads of government.
During several days of strikes, Russian missile strikes on the Odesa region hit a Panamanian-registered ship and a Palau-flagged cargo ship were also attacked, killing one person on-board.
Several people in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia were injured as 29 homes were destroyed and pictures released by regional officials show a giant crater in the mud, with bricks and wood strewn all around.
A wave of strikes on Ukraine’s Black Sea ports coincided with a European tour by President Volodymyr Zelensky – who visited leaders in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.
But Sir Keir pointed out the increasing number of Russian attacks coincided with harvest season.
Despite the war, Ukraine is still a significant supplier of agricultural goods.
But British intelligence suggests a growth in what officials call Russian “risk appetite” when attacking Ukrainian ports – with grain ships becoming what is described as “collateral damage” in Russia’s campaign.
Sir Keir said the “indiscriminate attacks” were “harming millions of vulnerable people across Africa, Asia and the Middle East”.
According to Ukrainian figures, more than 20 civilian ships have now been damaged in Russian attacks since the start of the war in 2022.
Grain silos and other port infrastructure have been badly damaged too.
However, Ukraine has succeeded in creating a maritime corridor to ensure the safety of grain exports, after Moscow pulled out of a Black Sea grain deal last year.
Some 962,000 tonnes of grain were exported in the first ten days of October, according to the agriculture ministry in Kyiv – double the volume shipped in the same period last year.
Speaking to journalists travelling with him to Samoa, Sir Keir said Russia’s recent recruitment of troops from North Korea was “an embarrassing and desperate act.
On Tuesday, the British government announced that it would give Ukraine an extra £2.26bn using the profits from Russian assets held in Europe.
The one-off payment is an addition to £3bn already pledged by the government to fund Ukraine’s war effort.
So far, the UK has given more than £12bn in military aid and has promised to match that level of support in the future.
Announcing the funding, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said it showed the UK’s support for Ukraine was “unwavering and will remain for as long as it takes”.
