I think the other quote and the research was from Prostate Cancer Research, although take your wider point! I do think they make the arguments in good faith rather than just for a win per se, but obvs has been a lot of noise around this

In fairness, the PCUK quote in the article is pretty balanced (headline less so!): “We do not want a politically motivated screening programme... We will absolutely stand by the outcome of the NSC. If the science just isn’t there, then we already have the solution, and the solution is Transform.”

I am obliged to report that when the No 10 spokesman gave this part of the statement there was a brief but heartfelt outbreak of laughter from journalists, one of whom later asked if the PM might thus be interested in a bridge he had to sell.
