That’s despite being told to remain neutral on the issue.It’s another example of Keir Starmer and Labour doing politics poorly. Kamal and Camilla ask: Why let such a contested subject be rushed through via a private members’ bill? And can we really have an informed discussion about assisted dying when palliative care in the UK is so bad?Plus, 2 million people have signed a petition calling for another general election. Kamal and Camilla take a look at the reaction and why voters feel betrayed.We want to hear from you!
