Some things matter more than the latest electoral bunfight. Next time there’s a sexual harassment scandal – and there will be a next time – let’s take a breath before we leap onto OddsChecker to see how the political odds have moved 🖊️ KateMaltby
The electoral experts have all dug out their psephological instruments. The political nerds are as excited as if they’d just been gifted Taylor Swift tickets. Theby the Committee on Standards in Public Life looks likely to force the MP’s resignation or recall, and thus the fifth by-election on the trot for an unpopular Tory government. Crank up the swingometer! Fire up the opinion polls!
In July 2019, I found myself sitting at the next table in a restaurant to a Thatcher-era Tory grandee who evidently, given the booming audibility of his voice, had no sense he might be sitting next to a campaigner on sexual harassment in Westminster. Halfway through dinner, the news came in thatThe Tory personage was furious.
On Thursday, the Committee on Standards published a report affirming that Pincher had committed an “abuse of power” by groping two men in the Conservative Party’s social club, The Carlton. The report only investigated the events of that night, but the findings of fact about Pincher’s behaviour at the Carlton read as uncannily similar to several stories also published last summer which alleged sexual misconduct towards junior men on the Tory Party power ladder.

Availability and affordability of anticancer medicines at cancer treating hospitals in Rwanda - BMC Health Services ResearchBackground Availability and accessibility of anti-cancer medicines is the pillar of cancer management, and it is one of the main concerns in low-income countries including Rwanda. The objective of this study was to assess the availability and affordability of anticancer medicines at cancer-treating hospitals in Rwanda. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at 5 cancer-treating hospitals in Rwanda. Quantitative data were collected from stock cards and software that manage medicines and included the availability of anti-cancer medicines at the time of data collection, their stock status within the last two years, and the selling price. Results The study found the availability of anti-cancer medicines at 41% in public hospitals at the time of data collection, and 45% within the last two years. We found the availability of anti-cancer medicines at 45% in private hospitals at the time of data collection, and 61% within the last two years. 80% of anti-cancer medicines in private hospitals were unaffordable while 20% were affordable. The public hospital that had most of the anti-cancer medicines in the public sector provided free services to the patients, and no cost was applied to the anti-cancer medicines. Conclusion The availability of anti-cancer medicines in cancer-treating hospitals is low in Rwanda, and most of them are unaffordable. There is a need to design strategies that can increase the availability and affordability of anti-cancer medicines, for the patients to get recommended cancer treatment options.
