Banksy 'committed criminal damage' when he shredded his own artwork in a public stunt - because the auctioneer's hammer had come down, legal experts now claim. Salomé Verrell, a solicitor and a senior lecturer at the University of Law, said the artist was breaking the law at the famous auction in Sotheby's in October when he turned on a device which destroyed the painting. Just as the auctioneer's hammer went down on the Girl With Balloon it fed through a shredder hidden into the frame, shocking everyone in the audience. Despite the buyer spending £1million on the painting experts said the value would actually have gone up because of the stunt - and not down - as the work was renamed 'love is in the bin'.  But now Salomé says that Banksy was breaking the law with the stunt and could expect to see police at his door - if they can figure out who he is. She said: 'When Banksy shredded the painting, he was damaging someone else's property, and he did so intentionally … [Read more...] about Could Banksy be banged up?

Jeremy Corbyn absolute poison with northern voters who did not trust him to keep the country safe because of his 'anti-western world view', a former Labour MP said today as she tore into the outgoing party leader. Anna Turley castigated the opposition leader after she was booted out of her Redcar seat in the North East as the Tories took it for the first time. She said that the Labour leader's politics was raised far more than Brexit when she campaigned in the working class Cleveland constituency, which voted Leave in 2016. It came as the opposition party became engulfed in a civil war over the future direction of its politics after its humiliating defeat by Boris Johnson's Conservatives. Redcar was one of a swathe of normally safe Labour seats which fell across the North of England and the Midlands. Ms Turley lost despite a majority of almost 10,000 in 2017, handing Tory Jacob Young a majority of more than 3,500.

The Mayfair investor overseeing plans that could lead to the eviction of dozens of low-income families on an east London estate has bought a £3.9m country mansion, prompting anger among residents facing homelessness. Mark Donnor, 41, the managing principal of the London office of Westbrook partners, the $11bn (£7bn) US investment firm behind the buy-out of the New Era estate in Hoxton, last year bought the 12-bedroom mansion in the Home Counties, Land Registry documents reveal. The grade II-listed mansion has a lawn tennis court, swimming pool, sauna, gymnasium and butler’s quarters.
