Amid the chaos, uncertainty and destruction across the globe, some things remain reassuringly constant #WatfordFC

In Stuart Andrew's 'The Big Health Vote' at #CPC25 members voted "Prevention is better than cure" as their favourite policy proposal Con members of the Lords can back that vote by supporting the Tobacco & Vapes Bill when they return after recess www.conservatives.com/news/the-big...

Thanks @jamescleverlymp.bsky.social for coming to see us at #CPC25 today. It was great to discuss the pioneering research that’s shaping the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment - we’re very grateful for your support.

On the last leg of this year’s party conference season - looking forward to the very necessary health kick diet and detox that follows

This is a really critical and timely inquiry from @chionwurah.bsky.social and the Science, Innovation & Technology Committee "How competitive is the UK’s life sciences sector? Committee issues call for evidence" committees.parliament.uk/work/9365/li...

Thank you @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social for visiting our stand at #Lab25 to discuss the National Cancer Plan for England. The NCP must deliver for people affected by cancer, with bold ambition and dedicated funding #TurningPointForCancer.

Thanks @skinnock.bsky.social for coming to see us at #Lab25. It was great to discuss the pioneering research that’s shaping the future of cancer diagnosis and treatment - we’re very grateful for your support.

Thank you @zubirahmed.bsky.social for visiting us at #Lab25. It was great to discuss how we’re taking our cutting-edge innovations from lab bench to bedside to improve cancer outcomes for patients. #TurningPointForCancer

Strong start to the day…

Great to see @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social at #Lab25 With a Cancer Plan for England expected this year, the Tobacco & Vapes Bill progressing through Parliament and an opportunity to back research - The period ahead really can be a #TurningPointforCancer Just a shame my lab coat doesn’t fit…

DHSC has launched a call for evidence to inform the development the 10 Year Workforce Plan for the NHS This is an important complement to the forthcoming cancer plan - as @crukpolicy.bsky.social manifesto highlighted - NHSE needs to fill around 16,000 FTE posts in cancer services👇

Excellent news - provisional dates announced for Lords Committee Stage of The Tobacco & Vapes Bill @crukpolicy.bsky.social #SmokefreeUK 🚭👏

This weekend, we'll be at #Lab25 talking to MPs about what they can do to make sure the National Cancer Plan is the #TurningPointForCancer we need. There's just a few days to go- make sure you've invited your MP to join us! action.cancerresearchuk.org/page/177663/...

Good to be in the Senedd today to launch @crukpolicy.bsky.social manifesto calling on the next Welsh Government to make a national commitment to reduce the cancer death rate in Wales by 15% by 2040, preventing around 5,500 cancer deaths between now and 2040. #LongerBetterLivesWales

[email protected] #LDConf speech on cancer: Make cancer a top priority A promise to keep pushing on 62 day wait guarantee Will boost funding for cancer research in the UK Set up a dedicated Fellowship scheme for US researchers UK leading the world in the fight against cancer

It's v encouraging that @eddavey.libdems.org.uk speech will outline his commitment to "leading the world in the fight against cancer" Cancer is a cross party issue. It's critical all parties back research - by working together we will beat cancer. #LDConf www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If Denmark can do it, then why can’t we? ‘Back in 2000, the UK and Denmark performed similarly poorly for cancer survival. Now, the Scandinavian country has leapfrogged ahead, outperforming the UK in survival rates for all but one major cancers’ www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Thank you to Baroness Northover for raising our report in the House of Lords. Now that Parliament is back, it is vital that the Government prioritises the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in the legislative timetable to ensure its passage.

‘Cancer Research UK says ministers need to deliver ‘ambitious’ strategy as rates of disease are forecast to rise’ www.ft.com/content/04be... via @financialtimes.com @michellecruk.bsky.social #turningpointforcancer

"We should spend more on cancer, and are behind the EU average. But for real change we might try copying Denmark, where cancer survival looked similar to the UK in 1995, but has dramatically improved." observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

2-2 and a glorious game. Even enjoyed the guy behind me screaming ‘it’s too easy Watford ’. This will tire by the end of the season, but for now it is a familiar welcome home #Watfordfc

I am proud to join #OneCancerVoice - a coalition of more than 60 charities uniting to urge the Government to deliver a bold, fully funded National Cancer Plan for England to improve diagnosis and treatment helping to save and improve more people’s lives. 1/3

By 2040, someone in England will be diagnosed with cancer every two minutes. New projections from #OneCancerVoice show 6.3 million new cancer cases are expected between now and then. A National Cancer Plan must deliver change for everyone affected.

Fantastic to join friends across the #onecancervoice coalition today. We project 6+million cancer cases by 2040 - 1 diagnosis every 2 minutes It’s why the Govt’s cancer plan is welcome but reinforces why it needs to be ambitious, funded & backed by strong political leadership

Widespread coverage of #OneCancerVoice coalition projections of 6m+ new cancer cases in England by 2040 That’s 1 diagnosis every 2 minutes It’s why the Govt’s welcome commitment to a cancer plan must be bold, ambitious & funded @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Two weeks off bumming around the beautiful beaches of Cornwall finally comes to an end.

‘The number of people surviving cancer has improved hugely in the past 50 years, but experts warn progress has been uneven with some cancers with the worst survival rates falling further behind’ #cancerplan #turningpointforcancer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Decades of research has meant that patients are more likely to survive their cancer today than ever, but progress in survival for all cancers is slowing. I spoke about these new findings on BBC Radio 4 Today, you can listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
