🚨 NEW: The Government has launched an independent review into the death of Henry Nowak
It will investigate any missed opportunities to intervene and whether the family were treated correctly

its actually quite refreshing to have a PM whose embarrassing history involves raising money for charity, rather than burning £50 notes in front of homeless people and shagging pigs...

The PM said on TV show 'Gogglebox' for Stand Up To Cancer he has a "clang of anxiety" when discussing dancing - after taking part in a charity event for the Rob Burrow centre for MND

Foundation stone for Alfred Waterhouse's Manchester Town Hall was laid on this day 1868. Took almost 10 years to erect at a cost approaching £1m, described as ‘unequalled for size, completeness and adaptability for its purpose among the municipal buildings of Europe’.

A momentous day for London.
I’m so excited to see our plans to transform Oxford Street becoming a reality.
And this is just the beginning.

Under the Green Mayor Lewisham has lost a £1.5bn town centre plan.
1,700 homes. A park the size of a Premiership pitch. A music venue. 300+ trees.
Approved under Labour. Shaped by 2,500+ residents.
Landsec says the Greens’ refusal to back the next phase is part of why.

What an incredible day.
I spoke to Times Radio, BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and LBC about the Bell Review
It recommends including contemporary antisemitism in the curriculum. I hope my three years of campaigning played a part!
I’m honoured to join the government’s implementation group
Ben retweeted
Great to be with and listen to @jonathanfrisher at LBC. So glad to hear the government is taking on the recommendations of the Bell Review. Jonathan’s campaign is brilliant and inspiring and I encourage all to listen to him speak about his experiences.
