@phillowe1@SkyNews £1.3 Billion investment into infrastructure for a private entity that’s going to spend £5billion in our country to create 28,000 jobs can only be a good thing. Not everything is doom and gloom.
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.
Mikel Arteta's Gunners won the Premier League while becoming the first team to go the whole campaign without receiving a red card or conceding a penalty.
But data logged by the KMI panel shows that Arsenal should have conceded three penalties and received three red cards.
▶️ Take a look at the VAR check that saw Celtic awarded a late penalty at Motherwell for handball.
At 6pm on @SkyFootball watch Scottish Football VAR Review to hear what the SFA's head of refereeing Willie Collum made of it 📺
@Stankowskiii@Paramore1979 The gap has closed, this isn’t an opinion. It’s just a fact, a mathematical fact.
We are closer together in the English football pyramid than we were a year ago, and then the year before that.
You’ve peaked.
SarcasticForest once again displaying superior Maths skills. Not only did Derby bottle play offs after going from 8th to 8th. He’s now struggling with 12 league places being less than 39.
"The gap is slowly closing" 😂😂😂😂😂😂. We're on our 5th premier league season, with the last one including a Europa league semi final. The closest they've come in that time is bottling the playoffs and finishing 8th. #nffc#dcfc
Last year a man was convicted of assaulting two female officers and a male member of the public at Manchester Airport in July 2024. He will be sentenced next month.
Two juries have been unable to deliver a verdict relating to alleged assaults on a male officer.
