Lord Paddy Ashdown has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, he said today.

The 77-year-old former Liberal Democrat leader discovered he had the illness three weeks ago.

He told Somerset Live: “Yes, I’m afraid I can confirm that. I have known for about three weeks that I am suffering from a cancer of the bladder.

”I’m being effectively and wonderfully looked after by everyone at Yeovil Hospital, in whom I have complete confidence.

“We must see about the outcome, which as always with things like this, is unpredictable.

“I’ve fought a lot of battles in my life.

“This time I am lucky enough to have the magnificent help of our local hospital, and my friends and family, and that gives me great confidence.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
