Govt says Sue Gray report will 'bring closure' to Partygate

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Simon Clarke says he hopes the release of Sue Gray's report into parties at Downing Street during the coronavirus lockdowns will "bring closure" to the issue.

He says the recent meeting between Boris Johnson and Sue Gray was about its practicalities, and that it would "not be affected politically" by any meeting with the Prime Minister.

Ruth Perry's sister slams decision to keep one word rulings

The sister of the headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life following an Ofsted report, says it's "depressing" to see the Government has decided to keep one word judgements for school inspections. The government was asked by the Education Select Committee to scrap the single word assessment - such as "outstanding or inadequate" - but said today it's keeping the headline grade because it provides a "succinct" summary for parents and schools.

Former Post Office exec tells inquiry she’s ‘truly sorry’

Angela van den Bogerd, a former senior director at the Post Office, arrived at the Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry on Thursday morning. She began with an apology on the first of her two days of giving evidence, telling the inquiry she was "truly, truly sorry" for the "devastation" caused to wrongly convicted sub-postmasters and their families. Errors in the Post Office's Horizon IT system meant money appeared to be missing from many branch accounts when, in fact, it was not. As a result, more than 700 sub-postmasters were handed criminal convictions between 1999 and 2015. Report by Jonesia.
