Our king died this morning. A good man. A man of the people. He brought people together during hard, celebrated with people during good times. He was called Norway’s grandfather in his later years, and it fitted him perfectly. I just wanted to get that out there. May he rest in peace.

The Green Party has secured a "huge victory" at the Kent County Council (KCC) Cliftonville by-election. Green candidate, Rob Yates, gained the seat from Reform UK, increasing the Green vote share from 12 per cent to 39 per cent. They're dubbing it Kent's 'Gorton & Denton moment'.
