  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

The Post Office told wrongly-accused postmasters that their compensation offers were secret, and couldn't be shown to anyone. That was false. The Solicitors Regulation Authority was about to prosecute the lawyers responsible. But now it's dropped the case, and won't say why.
Having considered the representations and other information received from the Firm we have decided to close the investigation. Our view is that the Firm exercised proper professional judgment when coming to a decision on the legal position as regards the explanation of the “without prejudice” label in the correspondence that was sent to sub-postmasters relating to the Horizon Shortfall Scheme.

The SRA will close the matter with no further action.

"Counter terror won’t let him on stage yet” a senior Reform figure says, explaining the delay in Nigel Farage’s speech at the Reform UK conference.20:08 4 September

Jack Fenwick
Political correspondent

West Midlands Police say the decision to delay Nigel Farage's conference speech "was made by Reform UK".

A senior Reform figure earlier told the BBC that Farage's speech was delayed because "counter terror won't let him on stage yet".

But West Midlands Police say: "We can confirm that Counter Terrorism Policing have had no involvement in the delivery of the Reform UK Party Conference 2026."

Jason Arday
“It’s a strange thing to spend almost twelve years of your life without language,” begins chapter one of Jason Arday’s forthcoming memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things.

This claim – that Arday was illiterate and could not speak until just before secondary school – is one of the book’s most incredible, given the heights of academia he would go on to reach. But it is by no means the only one relating to his school days in south London.

Indeed, the ex-Cambridge professor recounts how, as a young boy, he was only able to attend mainstream school for one day a week. When he built up to full-time, Arday claims, he was frequently removed from class on account of disruptive behaviour and “whisked… away to a small room with one solitary window”. He says he could not read or write until he was taught to do so by a girlfriend, aged 18.Cambridge took advice from pro-BLM group before hiring Arday

The University of Cambridge will review its HR procedures after losing an employment tribunal that found it had “shut down” a whistleblower.

Prof Deborah Prentice, the vice-chancellor, said she had asked for “an audit of our HR procedures and practices” after the case.

Prof Wyn Evans, a professor of astrophysics within Cambridge’s Institute of Astronomy, brought the case and claimed he had been victimised after raising concerns about bullying and misogyny at the university.

Prof Prentice was implicated personally in the tribunal for “mishandling” the professor’s complaints, and has been accused of a failure of leadership.

She is also under mounting pressure over the Jason Arday fiasco.
