Very good news on the extension of Soft Drink Industry Levy ahead of today’s budget.

Overweight and obesity is the second biggest cause of cancer in the UK.

Seriously WHSmiths, £3.29 for one small bottle of coke?

4-4–2. A glorious performance and a chance to catch up with family and old friends. We’ve gone toe to toe with the top two and look like contenders #WatfordFC

Coming home to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975 bodes well for the weekend ahead

First visit to V&A East Storehouse - what an awesome and inspiring space.

We’re getting Raiders of the Lost Ark vibes plus there’s a glass ceiling to try and break through!

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

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

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

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

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

‘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’
