“Bionic peer” Lord Mackinley of Richborough has paid tribute to his wife for keeping him alive, in his maiden speech in the House of Lords, as he said he would campaign for amputees to have quicker access to higher quality prosthetics.
The Conservative member of the upper chamber was given a 5% chance of living when he got sepsis in September last year, and had all his limbs amputated in early December.
