I was pleased to reaffirm my support for WASPI Campaign women in Parliament this week. 1950s-born women have waited long enough for justice.
Ahead of December’s High Court hearing, I urge Ministers to deliver fair compensation to all those affected.

Screening saves lives. I support Prostate Cancer Research’s calls for a targeted screening programme for high-risk men aged 45–69.
Together, we can create a future where no one has to fear losing a loved one to prostate cancer.
