Terminally ill workers should get early access to state pensions so they do not die in poverty, football pundit Chris Kamara said as he took his plea to Downing Street.
Chris, 65, handed in a petition with 165,000 signatures alongside representatives of the Marie Curie charity, whose nurses cared for his mum Irene as she died from breast cancer in 2003.
Earlier, he told ITV ’s Good Morning Britain that 90,000 people die in poverty every year.
