A private members bill sponsored by Kim Leadbeater proposes to legalise assisted dying - sometimes called assisted suicide - in the UK faces a free vote on Friday November 29.
In a free vote, MPs are not whipped by their party to vote in a particular way.
This means the assisted dying debate between MPs has taken an unusual course, with seemingly unlikely alliances being formed across party lines.
Andrew Marr, Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe discuss the politics of this extraordinary vote on assisted death, and the impact it could have on both the UK and Keir Starmer’s Labour government.
They also discuss the shock immigration statistics released Thursday, and a petition calling for another general election which has attracted two million signatures.
