DOZENS of MPs, including government ministers, were condemned after an analysis revealed today that people in their constituencies are “suffering avoidable ill-health and living shorter lives than they should.”

Leading health equity expert Professor Sir Michael Marmot has written a damning letter to 58 MPs across England to highlight “particularly concerning health trends” in their constituencies.

The list includes Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove, former prime minister Liz Truss, former health secretary Steve Barclay, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer, Conservative Party chairman Richard Holden, Justice Minister Edward Argar, former immigration minister Robert Jenrick and former health minister Maggie Throup.
