The cancer minister and a sacked bus driver

Jeremy discusses fostering red tape, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and bus drivers, and the cancer minister joins us to discuss the government's cancer plan and having cancer herself.

Jeremy discusses whether you have encountered fostering red tape. We speak to someone who says it shows a lack of judgement for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to horse-ride in public at the current time. The cancer minister joins us to discuss the government's cancer plan when she has incurable breast cancer herself. And a bus driver was sacked for leaving his bus to pursue a thief who had snatched another passenger's necklace.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: “ask BBC Sounds to play Jeremy Vine".
