In a Talking Politics exclusive, the architect of the assisted dying bill Kim Leadbeater joins the podcast as MPs prepare for a crucial vote on the era-defining legislation.
She explains to Paul Brand why she is "positive and optimistic" a majority will support the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in Friday’s defining vote.
And while Health Correspondent Rebecca Barry outlines the concerns from sections of the medical community – and the many unknowns that remain on how assisted dying will be implemented – Kim argues why MPs are ruling on "the most robust assisted dying bill in the world".
Meanwhile, Robert Peston shares his analysis after grilling Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the G7 in Canada on splits among world leaders over the Iran-Israel conflict and the handling of the grooming gangs inquiry.
