Hello and welcome to the political party.

Today's guest is Dr. Scott Arthur, the Labour MP for Edinburgh, Southwest.

He won his seat at the last election.

And I got him on to talk

about his proposed private members bill, the rare cancers bill, which is obviously as a subject

very close to my heart. We talk about what's going on with that. I don't just want to talk

about myself in this interview. So I am interested as to why he's chosen it, how that process works,

what the bill would actually do, what it would

actually change.

So this is a fascinating insight into private members' bills, whether the government

supports them or not, and the parameters of a private member's bill, the Parliament places

upon it, and crucially, what this bill would do,

because it would potentially mean that people like me who get a rare cancer,

like a cordoma, mine only one in a million people get,

that there would be far, the past sort of earlier detection of these things,

and far more research, which would mean that hopefully one day,

if you are lucky enough to get what I got, you might not need the surgery that I had, which

would be wonderful.

Thank you for all your kind comments about the mooch episode, and thanks to everyone again.

It was an absolutely incredible night.

And the political party is back on stage, And it's just so good to be back.

Obviously, the last three, Rachel Reeves,
