Keir Starmer has committed to allowing a vote on legalising assisted dying if Labour wins the next election.
As director of public prosecutions Starmer approved guidance which said that hose who compassionately help loved ones with an assisted death should not face criminal charges. "We have to respect that and find the right balance in the end. I do think most people coalesce around the idea that there is a case where it is obviously compassionate, it is the settled intent of the individual and there are safeguards with teeth to protect the vulnerable."
