ONE LAST THING

The vaccine roll-out continues to be a jaw-dropping achievement by the NHS. but another medical gamechanger was announced this week.

A trial of at-home smear tests is to be rolled out in the London area in a bid to cut the number of cervical cancers – the fourth most common cancer in women around the world.

The idea is that by making the process easier, less stressful and less invasive, more women will take the test and any abnormalities will be spotted sooner. That means earlier treatment, better outcomes, longer lives.

I’ve no idea why it’s taken so long to develop this test, when so many other medical procedures can now be done outside of a clinical setting.

Perhaps it’s because women take it for granted we’ll be poked and prodded, our dignity tested to the limit in a small cubicle with paper curtains.

Now, at last, it looks like we can take back more control of our bodies and health.

Donald Trump, right, has been dealt a devastating blow in his fight to keep his tax records secret.

America’s Supreme

Court this week cleared the way for a New York prosecutor to obtain the former President’s financial returns.

The move ends Trump’s years-long repeated attempts to stop investigators from inspecting his declarations to the taxman.

The ruling means a grand jury investigation into alleged hush-money payments and other issues will no longer be hampered by the businessman’s legal team.

If he has nothing to hide, he has nothing to worry about.

Relax Donnie, I’m sure it will be fine.
