Corbyn adds cancer survivor Debbonaire to the front bench

Thangam Debbonaire was diagnosed with the disease just six weeks after overturning an 11,000 Lib Dem majority to win Bristol West in May.
But she announced on Wednesday that she is starting her last phase of treatment and will be ready to make a staggered return to Parliament next month.
