Rapist police officer sentenced to life with minimum 30 years
Serial rapist and former Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 30 years and 239 days.
Carrick was sentenced for 49 offences against a dozen women, including 24 counts of rape, and charges of sexual assault, controlling and coercive behaviour, and false imprisonment.
The Met was forced to apologise and admit Carrick should have been rooted out of the force earlier after it emerged he came to police attention over nine incidents - including rape allegations, domestic violence and harassment - between 2000 and 2021.

There was no evidence of "two-tier policing" in the police's handling of riots that erupted after last year's Southport murders, a new report by MPs has found. The report by the Home Affairs Committee, published on Monday, examined the police response to disorder that broke out following the stabbings in July last year. Commenting on the findings, former Metropolitan Police chief Dal Babu said there are "some lessons for the police to learn particularly around how they deal with social media". Report by Kennedyl.

The Health Secretary acknowledged that Reform UK is a significant threat and that his party is taking it seriously. Report by Covellm.

Shadow Treasury Minister Richard Fuller admitted the Conservatives faced a “very difficult night” after losing nearly 700 seats and all 16 councils they were defending. He said Reform UK had done well, partly due to public disillusionment with Labour, but warned the party would now need to prove itself beyond slogans. Fuller said the Tories must rebuild trust ahead of future elections. Report by Covellm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
