Rochester and Strood MP Lauren Edwards has sparked a new civil war in the already fractious Parliamentary Labour Party with an announcement that she plans to reintroduce a bill to legalise assisted dying.
Ms Edwards came second in the ballot for private members bills in the new session of parliament and now plans to reintroduce Kim Leadbeater’s highly controversial Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill which would allow assisted deaths in England and Wales.
