Keir Starmer, the Labour Prime Minister, crossed the House of Commons floor to speak with Nigel Farage during a vote on the assisted dying bill. Their friendly exchange surprised many, given their differing political views. The assisted dying bill, which allows terminally ill adults to seek help in ending their lives, passed with a majority of 55 votes. Starmer supported the bill, while Farage voted against it. The new law requires terminally ill individuals to be registered with a GP in England or Wales for at least one year and to receive approval from two doctors and a high court judge. Further parliamentary scrutiny is expected.
