Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth spoke to Sky News outside his home, despite some decidedly inclement weather. "We did, about 150 years ago I think, introduce compulsory vaccination legislation in this country," he said. Mr Ashworth is calling on the government to crack down on anti-vaccination content on social media websites. He and Shadow Culture Secretary Jo Stevens said Government involvement with social media platforms, aimed at anti-vaccination content, did not go far enough. "We continue to work closely with social media firms to promote authoritative sources of information so people have access to vaccine facts not fiction."
