The Independent emphasizes the importance of accessibility in journalism, funding their reporting without paywalls. A key issue currently is the assisted dying bill led by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater. Despite calls from 52 Labour backbenchers for a delay to scrutinize the bill further, Sir Keir Starmer has decided to move ahead with the vote. Polling indicates that a majority of voters, especially within the disabled community, have concerns about potential coercion related to assisted dying, which adds an ethical layer to the impending legislation discussions.
Polling revealed that 63 per cent of voters believe disabled individuals may feel pressured to opt for assisted dying under Kim Leadbeater's proposed bill, raising ethical concerns.
Sir Keir Starmer's decision to proceed with the crunch vote on assisted dying has faced backlash from 52 Labour MPs advocating for more scrutiny of the bill.
