Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey will vote against a bill to legalize assisted dying in the UK.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey plans to vote against a bill that seeks to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill individuals in England and Wales. He expressed concerns over the potential psychological pressures on elderly and disabled people, fearing they might feel like a burden to their families. Davey advocates for enhancing palliative care instead, believing it would address fears of painful deaths and reduce the need for assisted dying. The bill will be debated by MPs in November.
