LABOUR MP Thangam Debbonaire has revealed that she had to turn down an invitation to speak at the Tolpuddle Martyrs’ Festival this weekend because she is being treated for breast cancer.
Ms Debbonaire was chosen to deliver an address on behalf of the Labour Party at the annual Dorset rally on Sunday after being elected MP for Bristol West.
But she was diagnosed with the disease just six weeks after the general election and is now undergoing her first cycle of chemotherapy.
