  • MPs have voted in favour of the assisted dying bill. Louise Haigh has quit as transport secretary after Sky News revealed she pleaded guilty to an offence connected with incorrectly telling police that a work mobile phone was stolen in 2013.

The article from Sky News discusses several key political developments in the UK. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has indicated that a vote on assisted dying could be part of Labour's agenda if they win the next general election, following a significant petition with over 120,000 signatures. This comes amidst ongoing debates about the legalization of assisted dying, with public opinion showing strong support. Additionally, the article touches on the upcoming budget, with expectations of tax cuts and economic measures to address the cost of living crisis. There's also mention of internal Conservative Party dynamics, with Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch's comments on the party's direction and leadership. Furthermore, the piece covers reactions to recent political events, including the fallout from the Gary Lineker controversy and its implications for free speech and political impartiality in broadcasting.
