    Theresa May’s 10 serious failures over the Grenfell Tower tragedy

    The failure of Theresa May and her government to mount a coherent or compassionate, response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy has appalled the nation. While some have focussed on how the prime minister’s mistakes have weakened her politically – coming so soon after a botched general election campaign – it is the impact on the bereaved, the survivors and the west London community that is the most important factor.

    Corbyn confirms Diane Abbott’s comeback and says she is getting “support”

    Diane Abbott has returned to her role as shadow home secretary after illness forced her to step down in the final days of the election campaign. Jeremy Corbyn confirmed his long-time ally would return to her post after she took a break and then disclosed that she is suffering from diabetes which had spiralled “out of control” during the frenetic final period before the vote.
