New documentary on assisted dying airs tonight (Monday 13th Nov). It features our friend @PhilNewby5 and our @KillPhilPodcast gets a mention too. Read more about it here:

Kim Whiting is one of five people who share emotional personal stories and explain why they want to see assisted dying legalised in the UK.
I highly recommend watching A Time To Die (10.45pm tonight ITV1 or ITVX). A heartbreaking documentary that tells the stories of five people who want access to assisted dying - and follows one to Dignitas.

After a long battle, Portugal passed a law on Friday legalising euthanasia for people in great suffering and with incurable diseases, joining just a handful of countries around the world… https://t.co/G4V3nRIARO

@KillPhilPodcast @PhilNewby5 @PrueLeith @danny__kruger Well done to Phil for continuing to speak so eloquently. I believe he is right. The UK, following international examples, can enact a safe and compassionate law that offers choice at the end of life whilst protecting the vulnerable.

Co-host of the Kill Phil pod, @PhilNewby5 was interviewed by @PrueLeith and @danny__kruger for their programme on assisted dying. It airs tonight. Well worth a watch!
"If somebody else wants to end their life they can, but Phil can't without somebody helping him." Phil Newby has Motor Neurone Disease. He talks to Tory MP, Danny Kruger and his mum Prue Leith about why he wants the UK law to be changed to legalise assisted dying in the UK.

Will a trip across North America help @PrueLeith & her son @Danny__Kruger resolve their differences on an incredibly divisive topic, assisted dying? Watch Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip tonight at 9pm.

My terminally ill Dad shot himself; legalised assisted dying would have spared us so much pain:

If we really want to protect vulnerable people at the end of their lives, we need to give them choice over how they die

What happens when you disagree with your son over assisted dying? Watch 'Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip' on Thursday 16th February at 9pm on @Channel4 #PrueAndDanny
.@PrueLeith supports assisted dying. Her son, @Danny__Kruger, is against it. Can a transatlantic trip, meeting people on both sides of the debate, resolve their differences? Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip airs Thursday 16th February at 9pm on @Channel4. #PrueAndDanny

.@soniasodha has a point. But any law coming here will be for the terminally ill (like in the USA, Australia, NZ, Switzerland). So the same risk isn’t there.

Phil Newby talks to @aliciakearns about why he is campaigning for a fair #AssistedDying law in the UK. Phil talks about his "needless suffering" and his wish to choose how and when he dies “when life has no value and a huge amount of suffering”.

Phil Newby tells his Tory MP Alicia Kearns his reasoning for pushing legislation in favour of euthanasia is because there is a point at which someone spends more time suffering “than doing anything...

A great honour to be joined by the inspiring @PhilNewby5 today as we discussed his campaign for #AssistedDying. To shorten suffering, and death, is a choice surely we as a society can give to those whose bodies now fail, and even torture, them.

"It may not be something you decide to do in the end, but having it there is a comfort." - Wise words from @ToniaAntoniazzi For terminally ill people, an assisted dying law would act as a safety net. It could guarantee a dignified death if their symptoms became unbearable.
