The Independent says the prime minister will stay away to avoid "unduly influencing the debate"; Toynbee says staying away will "condemn thousands of us to die in agony"

MPs vote on Friday on a bill The Independent calls the assisted dying bill and The Guardian calls the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill. Two readable reports, and neither of them names the prime minister.

Andy Burnham to miss crucial assisted dying vote as legislation remains on knife edge

Anglosphere United Kingdom

Two names for one bill. MPs debate from 9.30am on Friday and vote by 2.30pm, The Independent says. It calls the measure the assisted dying bill; Polly Toynbee, in The Guardian, calls it the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill. Both say the vote is close. Neither says how many MPs will turn up.

Where the accounts part:

The Independent The Guardian (Toynbee)
Not voting the new prime minister, to avoid "unduly influencing the debate" "Any MP not voting for it on Friday will condemn thousands of us to die in agony"
The public 70 per cent say fix care first; 78 per cent say judge on current evidence "The public is hugely in favour", with no figure
The arithmetic a majority of 23 last year; 12 MPs switching would sink it none given

The man who is not named. The Independent's headline says Andy Burnham will miss the vote. Its body then says "the new prime minister will not be voting" and never names him.

Not settled. Whether the prime minister is abstaining, or whether those two sentences describe two people. The 12-MP figure is one paper's arithmetic; nothing here corroborates it. Neither report gives a number for support for assisted dying itself. Neither estimates attendance — The Independent's own bigger question.

What this is about. MPs are voting on whether dying adults in England and Wales should be allowed to seek help to end their own lives.

How it got here. - Helping someone take their own life has been a crime in England and Wales since the Suicide Act 1961. - In 2015, MPs threw out a bill that would have changed this. - Labour won the general election in July 2024. That November, the Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed its first Commons vote. The prime minister, Keir Starmer, voted for it. - The Independent says the bill later cleared the Commons by a majority of 23. It then went to the House of Lords and did not become law. - A bill with the same title is now back in the Commons. The Labour MP Lauren Edwards is bringing it. Friday's vote is its second reading, which is the first vote on the principle of the bill.

Who is involved, and why. - Backbench MPs. This is a private member's bill, not a government bill. On matters of conscience like this, parties usually let MPs vote freely rather than telling them how to vote. - The government. It has stayed officially neutral. The Independent reports that the new prime minister will not vote. The two reports disagree over who that is and what it means. - The House of Lords. It must pass the bill before it can become law. - Scotland. Holyrood has been considering its own separate bill. Northern Ireland is not covered by this one.

What is at stake. If the bill passes, the Commons will start detailed work on who qualifies and what safeguards apply. Polly Toynbee writes in The Guardian that if it fails, "that's the end of it for the rest of this parliament". Opponents argue that care for the dying should be improved first. The Independent reports that 70 per cent of people polled say the same.

Where it stands. Debate starts at 9.30am on Friday and the vote comes by 2.30pm, The Independent says. Both reports say the result is close. Neither says how many MPs will turn up.

The bias in this coverageBias

The count of voices runs one way

The news report quotes four MPs and a party leader against the bill and one MP for it, its sponsor. Its polling — 70 per cent for fixing palliative care first, 78 per cent for reconsidering — comes from a single survey, and the report does not say where the think-tank that paid for it stands. The comment piece runs the other way and states its case without a figure.

5 named voices against the bill in the news report 1 named voices for the bill in the news report 1 surveys cited

Hedged one side, flat the other

The projection that four people a week could die where money played a part is hedged three ways — "suggested", "could", "if". The comment piece states that MPs who stay away "will condemn thousands of us to die in agony", with no hedge and no source. Both reports say the vote is close; neither says how many MPs are expected to attend.

Claims and verdicts

unverified The new prime minister will not vote on the assisted dying bill on Friday, to avoid "unduly influencing the debate".
The Independent alone reports this, and its own account is confusing: it names Andy Burnham as missing the vote and separately says "the new prime minister" will not vote. The Guardian column we hold urges MPs to turn up but says nothing about the prime minister.

unverified Just 12 MPs would have to change their minds for the bill to fall.
The figure appears only in The Independent, worked from last year's majority of 23 and the loss of two MPs who backed the bill. No second report we hold gives a count, and the Independent itself says attendance, not conversions, is the bigger question.

disputed The public is heavily in favour of legalising assisted dying.
Polly Toynbee asserts in The Guardian that the public is "hugely in favour", without citing a poll; The Independent carries Whitestone Insight polling for The Other Half finding 70 per cent want palliative, social and end-of-life care sorted first and 78 per cent want MPs to judge on current evidence. Neither report we hold gives a figure for support for the principle itself.

Who is named as acting: the prime minister's position given, his name withheld in the body — “Though the new prime minister will not be voting to avoid “unduly influencing the debate”, he said in July that he believes the funding of palliative care needs to be fixed before consideration can be given to legalising assisted dying.”
Which measure was chosen: the margin converted into a number of switchers — “This means it will take just 12 MPs to change their minds for the bill to fall.”
Polling attributed: pollster and commissioner named; the commissioner's position on the bill is not — “The survey, carried out by Whitestone Insight for think-tank The Other Half, also found that 78 per cent agree MPs who supported the previous bill should judge the current bill on the evidence now available, rather than feel bound by how they voted before.”
What is hedged: a projection about money and death, hedged twice — “New analysis of government figures has also suggested four people a week could die an an assisted death in which money played a part if the bill became law.”
Who is named: the prime minister is described but never named in the body — “Though the new prime minister will not be voting to avoid “unduly influencing the debate””
Which measure was chosen: polling framed on the priority question, not on the bill itself — “New polling shows 70 per cent of Britons believe parliament should prioritise sorting out palliative, social and end-of-life care before considering whether to introduce assisted dying.”
What is attributed: a projection carried without naming who made it — “New analysis of government figures has also suggested four people a week could die an an assisted death in which money played a part if the bill became law.”
What is hedged: peers' role given as accusations, not stated — “as peers face accusations of blocking the bill despite it being passed by the Commons”
