Leaked Policy Note Sparks Controversy: Labours Stance on Assisted DyingA leaked policy note from 2023, commissioned by Sir Keir Starmers office, suggests legalizing assisted dying for terminally ill individuals would be popular. The note warns that inaction could be politically damaging. The governments neutrality on the Terminally Ill Adults Bill is questioned, with opponents raising concerns about Labours involvement. The bills sponsor and Labour leadership deny any influence. The note anticipates strong campaigns during the 2024 election and presents options for addressing the issue. The bill is debated in the House of Lords this Friday, needing approval to become law before the parliamentary session ends next spring.
