PM Sir Keir Starmer was accused of “intimidating” Labour MPs into supporting the assisted dying Bill as it ran out of time in the Lords today.Former Tory treasurer Lord Farmer made the revelation on the final day of speeches for and against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill before the government legislation was due to fall without a vote.He said: “I’ve spoken to a number of Labour MPs since, and what was not known, possibly, is that there was considerable pressure from No 10 [to] pass the Bill.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
