I am disappointed by today’s recommendation on prostate cancer screening from the National Committee. Targeted screening is a natural first step - but the recommendation today is far too targeted, not including black men or men with a family history, both high-risk groups. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups - and not just the men involved, but their families too, who risk losing a loved one unnecessarily. As I know all too well, prostate cancer can be symptomless early on. That’s why screening is so essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like in my own case. I urge @wesstreeting and the government to be brave and bold on this crucial issue. Make the first step more significant than what’s being recommended. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, more families will lose a loved one. This is avoidable and can be done.

Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking truth and defending freedom. A lion-hearted friend of Israel, he fought the lies and stood tall for Judeo-Christian civilization. I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel. Sadly, that visit will not take place. We lost an incredible human being. His boundless pride in America and his valiant belief in free speech will leave a lasting impact. Rest in peace, Charlie Kirk

A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. Al-Sharif served as the head of a Hamas terrorist cell and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
