'We had to bury him the week after his 21st birthday'

In the almost 5 years I've been covering failings in Essex mental health services, my interview with Carole in this report is amongst the most moving.

On Monday the public inquiry families have been fighting for into 2,000 deaths in mental health services in Essex will begin.

If you don't know much about it, please watch this special report:

Darren Jones visibly upset after listening to the extraordinarily brave testimony of the teenage girl raped by two boys who were spared jail. She told @bbclaurak: "What was the point in putting me through that?" It's heartbreaking. The Attorney General is reviewing the case

She told me she was thinking of defecting to Tottenham. I said red & white stripes are for life 🐝🐝

Shame she’s not bringing us any good luck so far!! @BrentfordFC newest bee 🐝!

Unbelievable superstar in the making.
Deserved to get second goal with that incredibly cool lob from Hampton's long ball

I’ve thought a lot about whether it’s the right thing to talk about Rachel Reeves crying at PMQs.
Because crying is not something we should be ashamed of, or something we should be judged for.
Because crying is something associated with women - and in particular this misogynistic idea that women are too weak and emotional to be able to hack difficult jobs like being Chancellor (remember of course Rachel Reeves is the first female Chancellor as well.)
And because on a human level I feel really sorry for her.
I’ve cried at work. I’m sure lots of us have. And the Chancellor doesn’t have the luxury of being able to hide in the toilets, or slope off early.

But people WILL talk about what happened at PMQs, because when it comes to politics, visual images stick.

I remember that image of Rishi Sunak announcing the election in the pouring rain - an image he never really recovered from.
Or the conference letters falling off behind Theresa May.
Or Ed Miliband and the bacon sandwich - people don’t remember his tax proposals but my gosh they won’t forget that bacon sandwich.
And people will remember Rachel Reeves crying at PMQs too.

Politics is not fair, and none of those moments that we all remember were the fault of the individual.
But here’s the thing - they stuck in the public consciousness because of a sense they were symbolic of a wider truth.
They didn’t happen when the politicians were at their strongest - when they were Teflon - they happened when they were weak.

And I cannot emphasise enough what a big deal last night was.
The Government was forced to junk its flagship welfare policy just an hour or two before the vote. That is such a big moment. Honestly I’m not sure things will be the same again.
It’s a bit like a couple having a terrible argument in a long term relationship - they might not break up, but something changes. They never completely recover.
Keir Starmer’s authority.
The loyalty of the parliamentary Labour Party.
People’s faith in the No10 operation.
And most importantly - the bond of trust with the electorate.
Because they told us again and again these changes were necessary and that they had no choice. They said they were going to happen...and then they didn’t.

Erm….WTF???

[Charlie Frost @frostreports]

I’ve been reporting for ITV national news for almost 3 years now. In that time (and considering we get sent all over) I’ve been to Newbury on three different occasions, having never (knowingly!) been there before. First time was a Downton Abbey story, the next on the defaced Paddington statue - what is the third 🤔?
