Susie Cleverly was previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021 and has been cancer-free for two years. The couple joined a running group in 2022, wearing pink and raising awareness of the symptoms and importance of early diagnosis.
James Cleverly has said his wife had a 'veto' on whether he ran for the Conservative Party leadership, after she went through 'hell and back' fighting breast cancer.
Mr Cleverly said: 'She gets a veto on my political career', and described the mother of his two sons as 'unbelievably formidable' and 'inspirational'. But after 'thrashing out' the options with Susie, they concluded he was 'best placed' to take on Sir Keir Starmer's government. The Braintree MP was quick to tear apart his successors' early days in office. The unions have 'humiliated' Starmer and shown him to be 'naive' about negotiating, he said.
Mr Cleverly said he still gets up at 6.30am and is busy with the leadership campaign, based in an office in King's Cross
