On the eve of one of the most important votes this current cohort of MPs will likely ever cast, it was a bold, daring claim to make. 

 Asked by a reporter at a press conference convened in a hot, crowded room deep inside the parliamentary estate if tomorrow's assisted dying vote was likely to pass, Kim Leadbeater replied, confidently, yes, her controversial bill would be carried. 

It would take a sizeable shift to swing it the other way, and opponents of the bill have been trying very hard to convince wavering MPs to do just that. 

This week alone there have been significant interventions from the Royal Colleges of Psychiatrists and Physicians - two professions that would be at the heart of delivering this end of life care and key in making the life or death decisions. 

The setting might have been political, but the message was much less so. 

Leadbeater was flanked by supporters with the most compelling, heart-wrenching testimonies. 

Each told their own powerful story: of lonely, painful deaths, carefully planned journeys to Switzerland's Dignitas clinic kept secret from loved ones, and the life limiting deterioration in health and dreading what new misery the next few weeks or months would bring.

It was a powerful reminder to MPs that away from the parliamentary process and bill scrutiny, ultimately this is what the legislation is all about.

There was a (questionable) assurance from Lord Falconer that the House of Lords would respect the will of the people and the bill will pass through the upper chamber without difficulty. 

The timetable is tight, but it appears the country is ready for change - a historic one.

Pollsters at YouGov have just released some interesting research about the assisted dying bill.

The legislation is set to be voted on tomorrow by MPs - if passed it will go to the Lords.

It shows that most people in the UK support the principle of assisted dying - and 73% support the measures outlined in the bill being voted on tomorrow.

Some 2,003 people were asked in May how they felt on the topic.

As we mentioned, 75% supported assisted dying in principle, with 14% opposing it and the rest replying "don't know".

This is almost the exact result as in November, when the whole House of Commons voted on the bill.

YouGov also asked people if they supported the legislation in its current form.

For this, 73% said they supported it and 16% said they opposed it.

A YouGov statement said: "Kim Leadbeater's bill has clearly ameliorated the concerns of some sceptical about assisted dying in practice.

"More than seven in ten Britons support the bill as is stands, including 59% of those who say they support assisted dying in principle but oppose it in practice - and 67% who are opposed to the principle of euthanasia but are willing to back it in practice."

Dame Judi Dench, Malala and Stanley Tucci are among another 100 famous names who have added their signatures to a letter urging Sir Keir Starmer to "end the UK's complicity" in Gaza.

Sky News can exclusively reveal the Bond actress, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Conclave actor are among a host of public figures who have added their names to the letter.

At the end of May, Sky News revealed about 300 actors, bands, singers, activists and sportspeople signed the letter, organised by refugee charity Choose Love, calling on Sir Keir to suspend all UK arms sales and licences to Israel.

Dua Lipa, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Lineker were among the celebrities to also urge the PM to use all available means to ensure full humanitarian access and broker an immediate and permanent ceasefire.

Celebrities and activists also read out all the names of children killed in Gaza in front of parliament.

But three weeks later, they say nothing has changed.

The Capture redress scheme will be delivered in Autumn 2025 鈥� but why not now, or earlier?

Time is not on the side of many victims and their relatives.

They are, after all, among the oldest victims of this Post Office scandal, with many already having passed away.

This is, however, the timeline that the Department for Business and Trade have been putting forward to victims for the last couple of months.

They now have to put in place an independent panel, entirely separate from government, and caseworkers to check eligibility.

Victims though may be frustrated that it will be over a year from when the Kroll report concluded - that it was likely Capture had caused shortfalls in accounting 鈥� before the redress scheme opens.

Nothing moves quickly in government, however, unless pushed.

Separate to that is another elephant in the room, that those who were convicted on Capture evidence are still left waiting.

While all victims of Capture have been seriously affected by the faulty software, none more so than those who were taken to court.

They will not be entitled to apply for redress until their convictions are quashed, and that doesn't appear to be anytime soon.

The government has announced details of a compensation scheme for Postmasters who suffered financial shortfalls due to the Capture software.

Capture was a faulty computer system used by postmasters in the 1990s, before the Horizon scandal. 

In a statement this morning, the government said it would "provide fair compensation" for those who suffered financial shortfalls due to the Capture software between 1992 and 2000.

The scheme is expected to open for applications in Autumn 2025.

The government said it would have an "initial phased rollout" for 150 claimants to ensure the process is "fair, proportionate and accessible before wider implementation". 

Post Office minister Gareth Thomas said: "We are committed to delivering fair and swift redress for all postmasters affected by Post Office software failures. 

"Today's announcement represents another important step in righting the wrongs of the past and rebuilding trust in the Post Office."

The government said all eligible claims will be reviewed by an independent panel of experts operating entirely separately from government. 

The panel will:

• Take a holistic view of each claim, avoiding drawn out legal processes and providing fair redress even where evidence is low.
• Use a balance of probabilities standard of proof
• Recommend appropriate payment levels
• Provide claimants the right to appeal in certain circumstances

The Liberal Democrats were one of the loudest voices in opposing the Iraq war, and questioning the legal advice.

Part of this effort was a young Sir Ed Davey, now the leader of the party.

He is today calling for the government to release the advice it has received on the Israel-Iran conflict.

This follows reporting - including from Sky News - that Attorney General Richard Hermer has concerns around the legality of what is happening.

Davey said: "The government needs to publish any legal advice received around involvement in the conflict with Iran.

"The last thing we need is for the UK to be dragged into another illegal war in the Middle East by the US."

In her news conference in parliament, MP Kim Leadbeater has been asked about whether she thinks the bill will pass tomorrow.

The vote is on proposed amendments, and if passed the bill will then pass to the House of Lords.

The MP says she is confident that it will go through the Commons.

Leadbeater says there has been some "small movement" among MPs swapping from the pro to anti side and vice versa.

But she says that she does not think the majority the bill had at the previous reading will be "heavily eroded".

The bill passed by 330 votes to 275 in November last year - a majority of 55.

Leadbeater says that "it could be another decade before this issue is brought back to parliament" if it is voted down.

Tomorrow, the assisted dying bill returns to the House of Commons.

The bill's proposer, Kim Leadbeater, is giving a news conference on the legislation.

Shadow foreign secretary Priti Patel spoke to ITV earlier this morning.

She was asked for her party's stance on potential UK action being taken against Iran.

Patel said: "While we want peace in the region, we're crystal clear that Iran should not be able to obtain nuclear weapons.

"And if the government judges that such action is necessary to avoid that then we would absolutely support the government if it deemed it necessary to ensure that we can defend our country, our citizens and effectively a lot of our strategic equities in the Middle East region."

The shadow minister said the opposition could hold the government to account - even without a vote in parliament.

She also called on the government to step up its evacuation of British people from Israel.

Sky News deputy political editor Sam Coates has, as ever, given his insight on the day's news in this morning's episode of Politics at Sam and Anne's.

He highlighted just how important it is that Foreign Secretary David Lammy is meeting both the Americans and the Iranians in the next two days.

"That is just a really important moment tomorrow," he says of the meeting with Iran and European allies in Geneva on Friday.

"And David Lammy at the helm of these discussions directly with Iran, having flown directly from the US means that he is an utterly pivotal figure in what's going to happen in the next 48 hours. 

"I suppose the fact that that meeting tomorrow is taking place means the whole world is being given some breathing space because surely nothing will now happen before that meeting has concluded.

"And the consequences of that meeting have been digested. So we've got 24, 36 hours for everyone to draw breath, plan and debate what happens next."
