Pro-assisted dying group has its origins in eugenics – and it all revolves around your favourite chocolate company
What does a sitting Labour MP, a multimillion charitable trust, and the most prominent UK-based pro-assisted dying lobby group have in common? It turns out, quite a lot actually – and all of them may be about to ruin your favourite confectionery treat forever.

In particular, it revolves around one famous family who is still a key backer of the group, and also supports other organisations that grew out of the eugenics movement.
