The UK's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which passed the elected House of Commons with a majority of 23, failed on 24 April 2026 after seven unelected peers in the House of Lords tabled over 800 amendments and ran out the parliamentary clock across 120 hours of debate. The bill's collapse — without ever facing a formal vote in the upper chamber — has ignited a constitutional crisis over the Lords' legitimacy and left terminally ill Britons without the legal right to an assisted death that polls show 65–79% of the public supports.
