Destiny Wade, 28, says she was told she 'wasn't a priority' because of her age despite explaining her symptoms - such as bleeding after sex - to a GP during the coronavirus pandemic
Nurse, 28, whose smear test was cancelled in lockdown diagnosed with cervical cancer
A cancer nurse who had her smear test cancelled due to Covid-19 has revealed she's now been diagnosed with a cancerous tumour the size of a tennis ball.
Destiny Wade, 28, an oncology nurse from Crayford, south east London, was supposed to have a smear test in March, which was cancelled because of the virus.
She had started having some mild symptoms such as bleeding after sex but was told it was probably a popped cyst.
Destiny, who also had coronavirus, took herself to the A&E after a night of heavy bleeding.
Following three weeks of tests, she was devastatingly diagnosed with cervical cancer.

The Egyptian star made the move to Anfield in 2017 and has gone on to arguably become one of the best players in his position in the world
Jurgen Klopp has reminisced about the day Mohamed Salah first arrived at Liverpool ahead of the Egyptian forward's 150th appearance for the club.
The Reds take on Arsenal on Wednesday looking to keep alive their chances of setting the all-time Premier League points tally record, with Klopp's side needing to win all three of their remaining games in order to do so.
Salah has been a huge part of the team's success ever since he joined from Roma in June 2017, with the 28-year-old having scored a superb 94 goals in 149 appearances in all competitions.
And when asked about the player's upcoming landmark of 150 games for Liverpool, Klopp took the opportunity to praise both him and his strike partners Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

“That is 50 games a season, that is unbelievable," Klopp said. "The front three has worked out in a manner we could not have expected.
"When Mo signed, it was a good day for Liverpool and a good day for Mo. I remember our talk when we first met face to face and spoke about his favourite position on the right.
“He said Sadio plays there but I told him Sadio could play on the left too.
“Now, they have scored 250 goals between them (including Firmino) so it has worked out well. You cannot change the world alone but together, you can.”

Although it has been another fruitful campaign for Salah he now appears to be a big outsider to win his third Premier League Golden Boot in a row.
He has netted 19 in the division so far this season, but still sits four behind the current top scorer Jamie Vardy with just three games left to play.

thedailymirror--2020-07-14--MPs issue latest savaging of Tory plans to buy ships, planes and Army vehicles

A Whitehall spending watchdog today delivered its latest damning verdict on the Ministry of Defence 's “ unaffordable ” plans for buying vital equipment .
MPs blast its “ lamentable failure to get a grip on the equipment plan ” , saying warnings about its “ serious affordability issues ” have been issued “ year after year ” .
The Government hopes to spend billions of pounds on warships , RAF jets and armoured fighting vehicles – despite repeated criticism that it can not afford them .
Commons Public Accounts Committee chairwoman Meg Hillier said : “ The MoD knows @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we know what it ’ s getting wrong .
“ For years we have made concrete proposals to improve delivery of key strategic priorities and here we are again , with the same gaps in our national defence and the same risk to our Armed Forces personnel , year after year .
“ We are saying to the MoD and to the Treasury now : come back to us by the end of the year with a concrete plan for how you are going to turn this around , how you are going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on .
“ The nation and the Armed Forces that protect us are owed that much.
” Exasperated MPs cite repeated warnings over the MoD 's 10-year equipment plan which “ continues to be unaffordable despite this committee and the NAO ( National Audit Office ) consistently highlighting serious affordability issues in the plan year after year ” .
The committee 's 22-page report published today says : “ The 2019-2029 plan is too expensive by between an estimated £2.9billion and £13bn .
“ The department has still not made the hard choices @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the affordability gap , which arises in part from a failure to fully fund ambitions set out in the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review .
“ The department is instead stuck in a cycle of managing its annual budget , using additional funds to offset financial pressures , and making short-term decisions which result in poor , long-term value for money .
“ Plans for efficiency savings remain totally unrealistic ; for example £4.7bn of savings are assumed without plans for how they will be delivered.
” Its study outlines grand MoD @ @ @ @ @ @ @ joint strike fighter warplanes , saying : “ It is still committed to buying 138 F-35 Lightning jets but has made provision for just 48 in the plan.
” A major “ Integrated Review of Security , Defence , Development and Foreign Policy ” is underway in Whitehall .
An MoD spokeswoman said : “ We want our Armed Forces to have the very best ships , aircraft and vehicles , that ’ s why we have delivered the equipment plan within budget for the third year running .
“ As the PAC @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be challenging and we continue to reduce the gap between our budget and predicted costs , achieving £7.5bn of efficiency savings last year and securing an extra £2.2bn for defence .
”

thedailymirror--2020-07-14--Fresh warning to NATO over rising Russian military, biological and cyber threats

NATO was today urged to ramp up its defences against mounting Russian aggression .
“ Smart , speedy , collective action and deterrence ” is needed to confront Kremlin threats , the western military alliance was warned .
A policy paper called on the organisation to “ ensure it has the necessary resources to counter Russian aggression in the form of cyber attacks , biological weapons and disinformation campaigns ” .
The alert comes two years after Russian agents were accused over the Novichok poisoning of former MI6 double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury , Wilts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interference in foreign elections .
NATO was also told to draw up plans for “ conflict avoidance and de-escalation ” with China , after Beijing imposed a strict new security law on Hong Kong and bids to spread its power and influence across the West .
The calls came in a paper by the Policy Institute at King 's College London , written by a host of respected senior figures .
They include former Defence Secretary and ex-NATO Secretary-General Lord George Robertson , former Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon , and Britain 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the UK 's first national security adviser .
Lord Robertson said : “ Since it was established in 1949 , NATO has played a vital role in preserving a way of life based on freedom and liberal values .
“ As new threats emerge from an increasingly aggressive China and Russia , the alliance must step up to meet them and demonstrate its enduring importance in a more uncertain world .
“ Failure to do so risks imperilling global security and undermining the prosperity and stability that NATO has helped to create @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been the alliance 's traditional “ enemy ” since NATO was formed in 1949 .
But the rise of Beijing and its increasing military might has triggered new concerns in the 21st Century .
“ China ’ s military spending has increased this year by 6.6 % , ” says the paper .
“ It is clear President Xi Jinping remains committed to the modernisation of the People ’ s Liberation Army by 2035 and its transformation into a 'world-class ' military by 2049 .
“ Recent events demonstrate the determination China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ firm grip , raising grave concerns for its future as well as that of Taiwan .
“ China ’ s argument with India , and ongoing disputes with Japan , demonstrate preparedness to press territorial claims from the Himalayas to the South China Seas.
” The authors , who also included former Lib Dem leader Lord Menzies Campbell , the EU 's ex-high representative for foreign affairs , Baroness Cathy Ashton Policy , and policy Institute research director Benedict Wilkinson urged NATO to trigger a “ frank debate ” about freedom , democracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the alliance was founded on .
Critics have accused some members of drifting from the ideals – and the paper suggests some countries could even be kicked out .
“ We are deeply concerned that the policies of a number of NATO governments are moving away from these fundamental values , ” says the six-page paper , 'The future strategic direction of NATO ' .
“ If this is allowed to continue without consequences , it will weaken the solidarity between allies .
“ NATO leaders should hold a frank debate on this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be willing to consider suspension of a member state as an ultimate step.
” They also urged the 30 countries that make-up the organisation not to cut defence funding – despite budgets coming under pressure during the coronavirus pandemic .

thedailymirror--2020-07-14--Coronavirus shows Wales can cope alone, says nationalist leader calling for vote

Welsh nationalists ' drive for independence steps up a gear today when the country 's leading politicians argue over splitting from the rest of the UK .
The Senedd in Cardiff Bay holds its first ever debate on separation – 21 years after the Welsh Assembly was established .
Coronavirus has seen Wales plot a different path from England , with restrictions imposed and lifted at different rates .
Nationalists believe the Covid-19 crisis has highlighted a growing gulf between London and Cardiff - and want a vote to test people 's desire for greater freedom from England .
Senedd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cymru for Wales to be handed powers to trigger an independence referendum .
Party leader Adam Price said : “ Wales has proven itself during the coronavirus crisis by acting independently to protect our citizens from the dysfunctionality and ineptitude of the Westminster Government .
“ As we come out of this crisis , we can not go back to the status-quo ; the status quo has failed Wales.
” Just 25 % of people in Wales back independence – though that is up 4 % since January .
Mr Price insisted : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rise and the people of Wales are waking up to the idea that there is another way , another future , another choice – and that choice firmly resides with the people of Wales .
“ That ’ s why we are calling on the Welsh Government to seek the constitutional right to allow the Senedd to legislate during the next term to hold a binding referendum on independence.
” However , the bid looks doomed to fail - Wales is run by Labour , propped up by a single Liberal Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , they are unlikely to pile pressure on Westminster for a Welsh independence vote .
“ At a time when families across Wales are facing all the distress and upheaval of the coronavirus pandemic , it beggars belief that Plaid is using this moment to push for a divisive and unnecessary referendum .
