A woman drover her car into a guy riding his bike, killing him. The killer told police she didn't see her victim because of the sun. An investigation concluded that she lied. The sun was not a factor. The killer's punishment was community service.

"Rachel Reeves’s new adviser has links to Thames Water lobbyists." Yep you read that correctly, Jenny Scott, who will now work at the Treasury, will continue her role as a partner at Apella Advisors — a firm she co-founded — that lobbies on behalf of Thames Water. Yep and I did
