Downing Street “cronies” who powered Theresa May’s disastrous snap general election and Brexit failures have been rewarded with knighthoods and other awards in her resignation honours list.The former prime minister was accused of honouring “big Tory donors and Number 10 cronies” by Labour Party chair Ian Lavery after the list of people she had nominated for awards was revealed on Tuesday.

While Tom ran into North Kesteven leisure centre to call for help, Michael rushed over to his limp body and started CPR.  A week ago we passed two milestones at my local foodbank in Hastings. We gave out our 400,000th meal, and we hit 300 tonnes of food given out since we opened in April 2012.These numbers are hard to fathom. They are nameless and faceless, so easy to disregard. But behind them are hundreds of people who have come to us desperate, at their wits’ end, facing a crisis of one kind or another. My son Zhubin was just 21 when he took his own life. After suffering with a rare sleeping condition he developed severe headaches, and on some of his worst nights would fall into a coma. Zhubin had openly spoken to me about his pain and suffering, but I could have never prepared myself for the heartfelt pain that I would endure on 11 May 2002 – the day before Mothering Sunday here in Canada. The day Zhubin decided to leave this world.The evening before that fateful day I had gone to his room, as usual, to help him change and get ready for bed. It was a tumultuous 2016 both personally and politically. My relationship of four years ended as January 2016 began.
