Politics latest: Starmer votes in favour as assisted dying bill advances after historic vote

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 UK Parliament has seen a historic advancement in the debate over assisted dying, with a bill proposed by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi passing its first hurdle in the House of Commons. The vote, which took place on April 29, 2023, resulted in 205 votes in favor and 111 against, allowing the bill to proceed to a second reading. This legislation aims to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults, with stringent safeguards in place. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer voted in favor of the bill, highlighting a shift in political support for the issue. The bill's progression marks a significant moment, as it's the first time in nearly two decades that such a proposal has moved forward in the UK Parliament, reflecting a growing public and political interest in reevaluating the laws around end-of-life choices. However, the bill still faces a long legislative journey with potential amendments and further votes before it could become law.
