According to a poll, 94% of GPs support the Government introducing a national prostate cancer screening programme, initially targeting high-risk men. Prostate cancer is now more common than breast cancer, and experts believe bringing in screening could save hundreds of lives a year. The doctors join cancer charities and former PM Rishi Sunak in arguing that the move would be life-saving and cost-effective. Sir Keir Starmer also praised the Mail's campaign for raising awareness about this pressing health issue, noting that prostate cancer is the most diagnosed form of cancer in England with 55,033 cases identified in 2023.

Sir Alister Jack, a former Conservative cabinet minister, is expected to be awarded a seat in the House of Lords after admitting to placing three bets on the 2024 general election date. He previously served as Scottish Secretary and received a knighthood from Rishi Sunak in July 2024 but was not given a peerage at that time.

Rishi Sunak resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on July 5, 2024, following a crushing defeat in the general election held the day before. The Labour Party, led by Keir Starmer, secured a commanding victory, winning 410 out of 650 seats, marking the party's largest majority since 1997. This resulted in the Conservative Party's worst performance in history, with only 131 seats remaining.
