S2, E4: No-One Mourns the Wicked
Manage episode 454922368 series 3612845
This week, Sally and Ben discuss the recently released film, ‘ Wicked’, and in particular the film’s counter-cultural emphasis on friendship. They also survey the latest news on the Assisted Dying Bill, and how they're thinking about it now that the Bill has passed its second reading.

In the show, Ben and Sally mention that the Bill passed with a majority of 55 MPs – that means that just 28 MPs would need to shift from a 'yes' to a 'no' vote (or abstain) to see this defeated at the third reading. The article below shows that some MPs who voted 'yes' (more than 28) did so while stating public concerns. They could switch their vote if their concerns cannot be addressed by the committee stage:
