Progress and Challenges in Assisted Dying LegislationAfter passing the Commons, the bill faces Lords scrutiny; full implementation may extend to late 2029 due to procedural changes.
- The assisted dying bill cleared all Commons stages and now enters detailed examination by the House of Lords.
- The final Commons vote was narrowly passed by a majority of 23 votes, indicating divided opinions.
- Members of the Lords, including medical and legal experts, are expected to rigorously review and possibly amend the bill.
- Implementation is projected to take up to four years, delaying legal assisted deaths potentially until late 2029.
Ultimately it is for the Commons to decide on whether we should have an assisted dying law, and what its shape will be.— Lord Falconer, a long-time campaigner for assisted dying, stated at a press conference.

- Despite the verdict, Lindell plans to appeal and continues to oppose the use of electronic voting machines.

Italy Referendum on Citizenship Reform FailsOnly 30% voted in a two-day referendum that aimed to reduce migrant naturalisation time from 10 to 5 years.
- The referendum to shorten the residency requirement for citizenship failed due to turnout falling below the 50% threshold.

- More than 65% of actual voters supported the change, but government parties called for a boycott and disregarded the vote.
- Following the failure, the far-right League party pledged to pursue tougher naturalisation rules, while activists vowed to continue advocacy.
Citizenship is not a gift.— Matteo Salvini, Deputy Prime Minister, commented after the referendum failed.
