This general election needs to be a turning point for people affected by cancer.

Great news today and now to make sure it’s implemented! @Alizee_Froguel captures it all in her blog :

[Cancer Research UK Policy @CRUK_Policy]

We were pleased to hear the UK Govt’s proposed legislation to raise the age of sale of tobacco mentioned in the King’s Speech. This is an important step towards a #SmokefreeUK.

1/4 Today, the UK Government published an initial report on its #MajorConditionsStrategy in England.  As #OneCancerVoice, we came together in March and would like to remind you of what we’d like to see in the final strategy.  👇

[Kirsten Rhodes @lifeofbees]

UK Gov’t should take action to prevent more cancers. The fact that tobacco companies in the UK make around 900 million a year on the biggest cause of cancer isn’t right .

Sign @CRUK’s petition today if you agree: https://t.co/idXfrdLBUE

1/We need more funding for tobacco control. But we’re still waiting for UK Govt to act.

A ‘polluter pays’ fund would make tobacco companies – not the taxpayer – pay for this. And MPs from all political parties want a fund introduced.

Want to see change?https://t.co/S9etaayTNj

Today on #WorldNoTabaccoDay we’re calling for gov’t to act on tobacco. You may have seen our #SmokefreeUK campaign in your local @CR_UK shop - like this little campaigner on the loose.

[Cancer Research UK @CR_UK]

Smoking remains the UK’s biggest cause of cancer and death. For each day the UK Government fails to stub out smoking, hundreds of lives will be needlessly lost across the UK.

👏👏 United as #OneCancerVoice

[Cancer Research UK @CR_UK]

We have spoken as #OneCancerVoice and handed in our petition to @10DowningStreet.

It’s time for @RishiSunak to address the cancer emergency and commit to fully funded, ambitious and focused action for cancer in England.

Retweet to show your support, and demand action 🔃

[Kirsten Rhodes @lifeofbees]

Yesterday was a moment of unity , over 60 cancer charities coming together for one objective. Will @RishiSunak respond to the cancer emergency and improve patient experience and outcomes?

[Giles Sheldrick @ExpressGilo]

You could be forgiven for thinking there was only one event in Westminster yesterday. There wasn’t. Here campaigners give 80,000 reasons to urgently address a ‘failure’ to act on the #cancer diagnosis & treatment emergency blighting Britain ⁦@CR_UK⁩ ⁦@Michelle_CRUK⁩
