“It’s like waking up from a nightmare.” The news that the assisted dying bill failed in the House of Commons has left campaigners with a “tangible” devastation, and a feeling the democratic process “really let us down”, says TV presenter and daughter of Esther Rantzen, the broadcaster who has terminal cancer and is a supporter of legalising assisted dying, Rebecca Wilcox.
