Assisted dying bill 2.0, Makerfield by-election and Starmer's plan to ban social media

On today’s episode of Cross Section, Peter Lynas, Alicia Edmund and Danny Webster try to make sense of Lauren Edward’s decision to reintroduce the assisted suicide bill, t-up the political permutations ahead of Thursday’s Makerfield by-election and discuss the government’s latest announcement about a social media ban for under 16-year-olds. The team bring a Christian perspective to each story, helping us engage and pointing us to pray.
