Campaigns claim to be led by healthcare workers and disabled people are being coordinated and paid for by conservative Christian pressure groups, an Observer investigation has found.

The “grassroots” campaigns have been central to the debate on legalising assisted dying in England and Wales before a landmark vote by MPs this month .

But they in fact have concealed ties to religious lobbyists.

MPs due to vote on assisted dying need to know the honest motivations’ of groups trying to influence them.

Care described concerns about its campaigning methods as “bad faith attacks” by “some proponents of assisted suicide” Not Dead Yet ( NDY ) is also facing questions about its affiliations to religious groups.
