Ryan Bridge has become a familiar face in Stirchley lately. He's one of two "company directors" of raisetheflags.org, where he collects donations from £10-£500 for flags.

They claim to save London pubs. So why have they shut so many down? Linea Homes has been called the “grim reaper” of pubs. Their targets include some of Peckham, Wimbledon and Camden’s most iconic boozers.

Linea Homes says it brings London pubs "back to life".

But we've discovered the firm has tried or succeeded to shut dozens of pubs to turn them into luxury flats.

Their targets include some of Peckham, Wimbledon and Camden’s most iconic boozers.

The whole Mill team went to Crumpsall yesterday to meet the community affected by yesterday's attack. We spoke with them, and prayed with them - many of whom were so deep in prayer for Yom Kippur, they didn't even know that two people had been murdered just down the road.

Great reporting here, of something I'd been looking at, after receiving a bunch of emails from aggrieved people. Clearly I didn't get on to it quickly enough. The Londoner very much have the story.

Getting the party started ‘This is the first thing I have been enthused by in a long time’

Many in the Sheffield Labour Party are worried about losing voters to Reform, but it’s possible that they may lose just as many to parties of the left.

These include the Green Party, who already have 14 councillors in the city. Now, with the launch of Your Party, a new player has entered the game.

When Rosie* reported to police that her daughter had been abused by their father, she assumed it would make it harder for him to see them. But that's often not how it works. 1/4
