Veteran politician Ann Widdecombe was killed in a “targeted attack”, counter-terrorism police investigating her death have said.

The scramble to buy PPE during the pandemic saw the UK waste almost £10 billion of taxpayers’ money, the official inquiry into the handling of Covid-19 has found.

Politicians face a “horrific” culture of violence which has become worse in recent years, a Cabinet minister has warned.

Rachel Reeves will say Britain’s economy has “beaten the odds” under her stewardship, in a defence of her record ahead of Andy Burnham’s incoming government.

Pubs will serve more than 64 million pints of no and low alcohol beer this summer, an increase of eight million on last year, according to industry predictions.

The murder of veteran politician Ann Widdecombe is being treated as an act of terrorism, police have said.

The family of a 16-year-old boy who died in a stabbing have described him as a strong and kind son who was an amazing brother to his siblings.
