I've been thinking about the reason that Sir Keir put forward for the assisted dying debate:
"I made a promise to Esther Rantzen before the election that we would provide time for a debate and a vote on assisted dying."
This is not the same as:
1. We think it is in the public interest to have this debate.
2. We have done the appropriate legislative planning for how this could possibly work.
3. We are convinced that our palliative care system is properly resourced so that people have the right support they need.
4. We are convinced all the right safeguards are in place to permanently protect the vulnerable.
This is too important a topic to be rushed through.
"I made a promise to Esther Rantzen before the election that we would provide time for a debate and a vote on assisted dying," Keir Starmer says
"I'm very pleased" that I'm able to "make good" on that promise, the prime minister adds

Glad to contribute for @careorguk to this question set by @Theosthinktank. Clearly lots of shared hopes and expectations from various contributors regarding Labour’s relationship with faith communities.

Very lucky to have amazing supporters @careorguk who, alongside donations, send us cards, letters, and sometime cakes for encouragement.
Watching the election results, are you feeling schadenfreude?

I don’t often share my blog posts from the @careorguk site but thought I’d lean into this confession of a guilty secret that’s now public…

Plenty to say about the budget but I’ve first tried to step back in my latest @careorguk blog and consider what we want to achieve. care.org.uk/news/2022/11/sev…

Another great article speaking to Christians in the public square and beyond from David French, not just because I kept agreeing with his analysis!

Two exciting graduate jobs @care.org.uk that would put you at the heart of the action. If you are interested in the interface between faith, politics and leadership there's no better place to start.

We sang these words on Tuesday morning in Parliament. This is not a time for crying or whooping. It's a time to pray them again.
