Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

IN plain English: we’re going to send a ton of money to the warmongering Kremlin regime for fuel while refusing further exploitation of our own oil and gas in the North Sea. Brilliant.

Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis appeared to mock a Middlesbrough player with a binoculars celebration amid allegations that Saints were spying on Boro training before their play-off clash 😬

He won't need one Liam, he owns one of the Clubs participating in the game. 👍

[Mark Wallace @wallaceme]

Marvellous. Keeping our own oil and gas in the ground, while actively choosing to hand money to Russia, a hostile and aggressive dictatorship, all amid a scramble to work out how we are going to fund the defence of our country against…Russia.

@DPJHodges They are underperforming but all developed markets are higher today. Mostly 7-9bp up vs circa 12 on Gilts.

"We asked 48m voters, what would win the Red Wall back for Labour?"

"You said... rejoin the EU, bring in digital ID, abolish jury trials, scrap North Sea oil, do nothing on immigration and appoint Gordon Brown."

"If it's up there, I'll give you the money myself."

The following HMRC tax receipts have gone ‘down’ since Labour ‘increased’ their rates:

1. Capital Gains Tax (people just sold fewer assets)
2. North Sea oil & gas (people invested less because of 78% windfall tax)
3. National Insurance (people hired less staff)

The Prime Minister is acting like he's going to be there for the next two years.

He’ll be lucky if he lasts two weeks.
