Starmer wants to legalise assisted dying in next parliament

The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said that he wants assisted dying to be legalised after the next election.

Speaking in a phone call with broadcaster and campaigner Esther Rantzen - who has expressed her own wish for an assisted death – he said he was “personally committed” to a change in the law.

It is currently illegal to help someone take their own life in the UK.

However, there is growing political momentum in favour of allowing assisted dying, also known as assisted suicide.
