Tonight, the Palace of Westminster is lit up for #WorldCancerDay. In the UK alone, more than 360,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. We must all work together to make faster progress on our goal of 3 in 4 people surviving cancer by 2034.
Transgender people... are people. Not a political stance, not an ideology, not an agenda... human beings, across a spectrum of beliefs and experiences.
