Jonathan Bullock has taken over as one of UKIP's two representatives for the region following Roger Helmer's retirement.

Mr Bullock, who helped instigate a Conservative-UKIP pact in Kettering at the last general election, said: "They [Remain-supporting MPs] are trying to ignore the Brexit vote and slide straight into a ‘fake Brexit’, which really means no Brexit at all.

"This has caused further uncertainty for business and both uncertainty and disillusionment in the country in general."

Downing Street has insisted it is committed to leaving the European Union and "delivering" Brexit.

Fast-track surgery for pancreatic cancer boosts its success rate by 22%, researchers found following a pilot scheme at University Hospitals Birmingham.

Under the scheme, according to a new report in a medical journal, the average surgery time was cut from two months to just over two weeks, saving the NHS £3,200 per patient.

Pancreatic Cancer UK, who funded the scheme, says a UK-wide roll out could see hundreds more patients having surgery which successfully removes their tumour.

The savings to the NHS of £3,200 per patient were made by cutting out the treatment for the symptom of jaundice before surgery, as well as reducing complications and hospital readmissions after surgery.
