The upcoming assisted dying vote in the Commons today dominates much of the news. The vote is expected to be tight and at least 100 MPs remain undecided.
MasterChef TV host Gregg Wallace has stepped down from his role following more allegations of sexual assault. The claims are from 13 people, across five shows, from 2005 to 2022. One of them was the broadcaster Kirsty Wark, a Celebrity MasterChef contestant in 2011, who said he told “sexualised” jokes during filming.
Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has stepped down from her role after she admitted pleading guilty to a criminal offence relating to a police investigation over a mobile phone she claimed was stolen.
MPs will vote on the assisted dying bill today, MPs are said to be divided over the legislation and it’s not clear if it will pass. This Friday will mark the first time MPs will have voted on such a measure in nearly 10 years.
