The Hillsborough Law will now include a duty of candour as promised at the last Labour conference - as we reported in April, recent versions of the draft had caved to pressure to remove it. Much of the improved version is down to Andy Burnham and families' campaigns.

Political journalists, right across the board, are treating Farage like a celebrity when they should be treating him like a menace, because that’s exactly what he is. And the more coverage he gets the more his menacing influence grows. So stop it - all of you.
