Home secretary says almost 800 million people could claim the right to move to another country under existing convention
. It is embedded in a deeply personal passage about Davey’s parents both dying of cancer. One of the problems he has is that people do not know much about him. A conference speech is an opportunity to address this, and this is Davey’s first speech to an in-person autumn party conference. My dad died aged 38, just a few months after being diagnosed with a cancer called Hodgkin lymphoma.What I do remember is my mum’s grief.
When she was fighting the cancer with the naturopath, my top task was mashing up carrots and apples for the healthy juice drinks she lived on. Putting pads on her legs and sides so she could give herself small electric shocks when the pain got really bad.Yet those years were also special. They gave me an incredible bond with my mum.
