Grenfell, five years on: ‘We know who the guilty are but they remain free’
The pain is still raw; the anger undiminished. Marlene Anderson breaks down in tears as she remembers watching Grenfell Tower burning, the white ash floating out of the sky and landing on her hair and clothes, while inside the building her father – although she wouldn’t officially know it for another two months – had perished in the blaze. Ray ‘Moses’ Bernard, an electrician, who had worked in the House of Lords and at Buckingham Palace, died of suffocation and cyanide poisoning killed by the acrid smoke. By the time his body was recovered, “his remains were no more than 30 per cent of who he was”. Moses, as everybody knew him, was found on the floor next to his bed, his dog, Marley, close by. On the bed were other victims who had sought refuge in the top floor flat as they tried to escape the flames. Among them was Jessica Urbano Ramirez, a 12-year-old girl, who had spent 55 minutes on the phone to 999 emergency operators begging to be rescued, and 12-year-old Biruk Haftom, whose … [Read more...] about Grenfell, five years on: ‘We know who the guilty are but they remain free’
With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle
Boris Johnson’s move to extend tariffs on imported steel by two years — a probable breach of World Trade Organisation rules — was welcomed by protectionist MPs from both sides of the political aisle. Industry also predictably lauded the decision, saying it will be protected from artificially cheap imports. Much like fishing, steel carries with it a disproportionate amount of political focus compared to its size — in 2020 the £2bn it contributed to the economy was the equivalent of just 0.1pc of total economic output and 1.2pc of manufacturing. But as the industry likes to point out: everything is made of steel. The metal goes into cars, aircraft, new buildings and the machinery that forms almost everything else. Without it, steel insiders say the logic of having a manufacturing industry in the UK would be considerably weaker — a fact that will not be lost on the Prime Minister. The move was pegged as an effort to “protect the steel sector”, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie … [Read more...] about With the Tories in turmoil, steel helps Boris Johnson show his mettle
Scouring of rape victims’ medical and school records delaying trials by up to nine months
Rape victims’ trials are being delayed for up to nine months by “tenuous” and “disproportionate” searches of their medical, council and even school records, a review by the Attorney General has found. Some victims are waiting months while police and prosecutors carry out “intrusive” searches of “third party” records for personal details that turn out to be irrelevant to the trial. In an interview with The Telegraph, Suella Braverman , QC, cited the case of a rape victim where searches of her carer’s records added nine months to the case yet the resulting evidence was “not relevant to the trial.” “The longer it takes, the more likely it is that the victim will drop out,” she said. This week she will propose a reform package to curb delays including sweeping away unnecessary searches, reducing time-consuming redaction of video and written evidence that can take police officers away from rape investigations for days and earlier disclosure of evidence by lawyers. It is … [Read more...] about Scouring of rape victims’ medical and school records delaying trials by up to nine months
Flawless Lewis Hamilton wins Canadian Grand Prix to slash Sebastian Vettel’s lead in the F1 championship
At one stage in the Canadian GP it seemed as if Lewis Hamilton was about to pull back all of his 25-point deficit to Sebastian Vettel, as the Englishman was leading comfortably while the German was in the pits having a new front wing fitted to his Ferrari. In the end, however, though he dominated to win his sixth Canadian GP on the tenth anniversary of his maiden success here a decade ago, finishing ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo, Vettel was able to fight back to fourth place and limit the damage as he left Montreal still 12 points to the good. Hamilton was not too disappointed by that twist, happily savouring his 56 th career victory and his sixth here. The 2017 Formula 1 grid Show all 20 “It’s been an incredible weekend, and I couldn’t be happier,” he said. “For the team to come away from Monaco, where everyone was scratching their heads, it was fantastic that we all just wanted to work together, In five … [Read more...] about Flawless Lewis Hamilton wins Canadian Grand Prix to slash Sebastian Vettel’s lead in the F1 championship

Mum who struggles with dark circles says this is her holy grail concealer
While there’s nothing wrong with having dark circles, many people prefer to cover them up. TikToker Abby Rivera , whose content focuses on beauty and being a ‘mom and widow’ , knows a thing or two about concealers. The US-based creator is referred to as the ‘concealer queen’, trying out various brands to combat tired under-eyes… and she’s just found her favourite. Abby shared a video recently showing off the product, describing it as ‘the most perfect concealer’ and saying ‘I think I found it!’ At the start of the video, she’s covering half of her face. Abby says she’s almost reluctant to spill the secret for fear of the product selling out, but that it was too good to gatekeep. When she moves her hand away from the side of the face where she’d applied the concealer, the results are dramatic. Due to a condition called xanthelasma (genetics and age also factor into this) Abby’s under-eye bags can look somewhat pronounced. When the makeup is on, however, you’d … [Read more...] about Mum who struggles with dark circles says this is her holy grail concealer
