After MPs voted against assisted dying legislation today, a new piece from me on the outcome:

'Why did MPs vote to reject the assisted dying bill – and what happens now?' @ConversationUK

theconversation.com Why did MPs vote to reject the assisted dying bill – and what happens now? It’s the end of the road for this particular bill.

Comparing today's assisted dying bill vote to the last time MPs voted (June 2025), turnout was key.

Only 5 MPs look to have actively switched their vote (all from yes to no).

But among MPs voting no in June 2025, 15 didn't vote this time. Among those who voted yes it was 43.

MPs have voted against the assisted dying bill, by 270 votes (for) to 286 (against).
