Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
SIR KEIR STARMER claimed that the local elections being held tomorrow will be a verdict on Kemi Badenoch’s leadership of the Tory Party.
Speaking in the Commons, the Prime Minister pretended that voters would not also be passing judgment on his government in the polls, which include four metro mayoralties, 23 local authorities and a parliamentary by-election in the Cheshire seat of Runcorn and Helsby.
“Tomorrow is the first opportunity the country has to pass their verdict on the leader of the opposition [since the general election],” Sir Keir told MPs.
