Show Notes
Esther Rantzen, a TV star with terminal lung cancer, implored the House of Lords to support the assisted dying bill for terminally ill adults. Despite the bills passage in the House of Commons and strong public support, a small group of peers are delaying its progress. Over one hundred fifty MPs urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to prevent any obstruction in the Lords, emphasizing that elected lawmakers should decide. Rantzen, who described the bill as compassionate and thoroughly reviewed, pleaded with peers to let it move forward without sabotage.
