Sarah Everard, who went missing on March 3, 2021.Sarah's tragic death caused outrage in London and across the country, particularly after it was discovered that she was murdered by Wayne Couzens, a serving Met Police officer.Couzens' conviction, the rough dispersal of a vigil for Sarah on Clapham Common, as well as a number of other scandals in which sexist Whatsapp conversations revealed widespread inappropriate behaviour within the force, ultimately led to a loss of confidence in the Met.Recently, Commissioner Dame Cressida Dick was forced to resign by London Mayor Sadiq Khan after yet more scandals involving police officers surfaced.The Met said: "There have been other murders of women in public spaces, including the Sabina Nessa, and very recently of Sabina Nessa. All of these bring into sharp focus our urgent duty to do more to protect women and girls." An inquiry by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) recently found "disgraceful" misogyny within the force that was not "simply the behaviour of a few 'bad apples'."Couzens is now behind bars, the rapist and murderer sentenced to life in prison without parole inside HMP Frankland.The jail is in County Durham and has also housed the notorious murderers Harold Shipman and Ian Huntley.In September 2021, Couzens challenged his sentence in an appeal that is likely to take place in May this year and is expected to argue that his actions did not warrant a whole life sentence.His sentence was described as setting new legal ground as he was given a life term for the murder of one person.

directive from Gov. Greg Abbott (R) ordering the state’s Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents of transgender children based on the presumption that they are allowing their children to receive gender-affirming medical care.Abbott issued the directive, which he justified by citing an opinion issued last week by Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) that stated that all forms of surgical and hormonal interventions for transitioning youth constitute “child abuse” because the medical treatments for gender dysphoria can cause “sterilization” and thereby violate a child’s fundamental right to procreation.But five district attorneys signed an open letter calling Abbott’s order “un-American” and an “egregious invasion of privacy.”“We are deeply disturbed by GovernorAbbott and Attorney General Paxton’s cruel directives treating transgender children’s access to life-saving, gender-affirming care as ‘child abuse,'” the letter, dated Feb.

David Cameron has joined the ranks of former Prime Ministers condemning Boris Johnson’s plans to break international law by overriding parts of the EU Withdrawal Agreement he signed himself. The former Tory Prime Minister who stood down after losing the Brexit referendum said breaking an international treaty is "the very, very last thing you should contemplate".

Why is Brexit back in the news? As the stalled trade talks between the EU and the UK run out of time Boris Johnson has engaged in incredible brinkmanship by signalling the UK could override the provisions of the Withdrawal Deal. The agreement, signed by the PM in January, means Northern Ireland must abide by some EU Single Market rules as it shares a land border with an EU member.  Under the Internal Market Bill, coming before the Commons today, UK Ministers would decide which goods could flow from the UK into NI without customs checks.

Former Tory leader Michael Howard has torn into Boris Johnson's controversial Brexit plans as anger mounts against the Government.

Keir Starmer has urged Boris Johnson not to “reopen old wounds” and to get a trade deal with the EU as he criticised the Government’s admission it could break international law over Brexit as “wrong”.

Brexit customs deal with the EU would breach international law, a senior minister has admitted to the Commons. Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis provoked a furious reaction by saying proposals to change customs arrangements across the Irish Sea after Brexit would breach international law in a "very specific and limited way".
