British ex-culture minister Tessa Jowell dies at 70

This follows a meeting Tessa Jowell had with the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary in Downing Street in February.

Undeterred, Tessa Jowell spoke passionately to Parliament several times in the last few months of her life about the importance of funding brain cancer research and high quality trials across the country.

"It is a great privilege and honour to take forward this work, which we hope will boost life-saving research and transform brain cancer care in the way that Tessa called for". They unveiled a new £45m brain cancer research fund, with new government funding of £20m over five years.

Mr Bercow told MPs: 'The embodiment of empathy, a stellar progressive changemaker and a well of practical compassion without rival: Tessa Jowell was the best of us. She had been diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2017. Jowell, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor past year, used her position in the House of Lords to campaign for better access to experimental treatment and delivered a memorable speech that moved her fellow peers to tears.
