The poster ad in the tube station shows a young fit man supporting assisted dying, bit strange as why would someone in the prime of life be thinking about having a lethal injection if/when they fall ill.

There's an article about these posters in today's telegraph. The young man in the poster is speaking about his father, who I think went in for assisted dying, so that puts it into context a bit more. There are other posters of terminally I'll people coming out to support this bill on other posters. One even has a woman with breast cancer dancing around the kitchen in her PJ's presumably joyful at the thought she can end her life whenever she wishes. Awful dystopian stuff.

I thought political advertising was supposed to be banned on the tube?

Interesting! I didn't know that. Food for thought

It would certainly not seem to be permitted by TfL’s own code for the acceptance of adverts. See 2.2(h) of https://content.tfl.gov.uk/tfl-advertising-policy-250219.pdf
