Brokenshire to return a month after lung surgery

James Brokenshire, the former Northern Ireland secretary, has revealed he will return to front line politics a month on from lung surgery.

The Conservative MP for Old Bexley and Sidcup last night announced he will be back in Parliament this week.

He said on Twitter: “Pleased to say that I’ve been recovering strongly after my lung surgery a month ago ... overwhelmed by so many kind emails, letters and messages.”
