'What Batley and Spen taught me about standing up to divisive politics' - LabourList What I learned in my by-election in Batley and Spen is that you must stay focused on running a positive campaign, you must not be distracted from standing up to your opponents, whoever they are.

One of the best things about football (and sport generally) is its ability to bring people together from all backgrounds, enjoy fierce rivalry, debate different opinions, celebrate shared passion and find common ground. Dreadful comments from Jim Ratcliffe.

A petition has been started by assisted dying campaigner Sophie Blake - who has incurable secondary breast cancer - to stop the Lords from frustrating bills approved by MPs.

Peers are currently debating the assisted dying bill at a snail’s pace.

MPs should override Lords on assisted dying, says former top UK judge David Neuberger says the unelected House of Lords should be circumvented to pass the controversial bill if it runs out of time.

Former President of the UK Supreme Court backs using the Parliament Act to force the assisted dying bill through the Lords.

Peers debate the bill again today with little chance of it passing before time runs out.
