Today I gave evidence at the Tobacco and Vapes Bill Committee in UK Parliament. At Cancer Research UK we fully support the legislation to help create the first #SmokefreeGeneration and I urged the MPs present to back it in full. Together with supporters, this is what we’ve been campaigning

Brilliant to see Keir Starmer at The Crick, reiterating the enormous value of medical research and the need for continued investment, as we emphasised in our calls to the next UK Government in our manifesto for #LongerBetterLives
