Most of Friday’s front pages lead on the assisted dying bill, set for a last debate in the Commons ahead of a crucial vote on Friday afternoon. If passed, it will head to the House of Lords for scrutiny. The majority of the newspapers are in support of legalising assisted dying, several papers discuss the late U-turn from some Labour MPs, and the Daily Mail makes a case against legalising the bill.
The debate will be followed by a crucial vote, expected before 14:30 BST. If the vote passes, the bill progresses to the House of Lords; otherwise, it fails, and that’s the end of the process. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill would allow terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to get medical assistance to end their own lives.
