FLINT-FACED Keir Starmer with his Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall proclaimed in the Commons this week how they will cut benefits that help disabled people live in dignity.
Down the corridor and up the stairs sits a committee considering Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying Bill. Its handpicked majority has seized upon people’s fears of living out their last time, alone and lacking human dignity, in order to ram through ill-considered and fatally flawed legislation.
Fear of being unable to clean yourself is cited as reason for an assisted death, while the government sees it as no reason to provide the social care that can give people a good quality of life.

A lot of discussion about how the left should currently organise – including debate on whether the Green Party is a useful vehicle for advance – runs the risk of refusing to engage with or learn from the reasons the left was defeated previously, argues KEVIN OVENDEN
