UK ‘behind curve’ on assisted dying among progressive nations, says Kim Leadbeater
Kim Leadbeater, the Labour MP sponsoring a bill to legalize assisted dying in England and Wales, warns that the UK is lagging behind other progressive countries on this issue. With a crucial Commons vote looming, she argues this might be the last chance for lawmakers to act—potentially for another decade—to offer terminally ill people the choice to end their lives with dignity.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about policy—it’s about real people facing unbearable suffering. The debate pits compassion against ethical concerns, and if the UK doesn’t act now, it could be stuck with outdated laws while other nations move forward. The vote could redefine end-of-life care for a generation.

Belgian sprinter Tim Merlier snatched victory in stage nine of the Tour de France, adding to his earlier win this year.

Meanwhile, rider Jonas Rutsch is nursing a shoulder injury from a crash the previous day, showing the brutal physical toll of the race.
Editor’s Note: This stage was a rollercoaster—Merlier’s triumph, Van der Poel’s agonizing near-win, and Rutsch’s injury all highlight how unpredictable and punishing the Tour can be. For cycling fans, it’s another reminder that even the strongest riders are just seconds (or one bad fall) away from glory or heartbreak.
