There’s a persistent myth that our government is somehow at the mercy of the financial markets and that it has to dance to their tune. This is most definitely doing the rounds this week, mainly as a result of Labour's mismanagement of its own party, and Rachel Reeves' subsequent

"People were clearly worried about him, but either he was never taken seriously, or no one quite knew what to do with him." Lots of detail here. Was his mental health raised during his trial or sentencing? https://t.co/JPFlhZLgn9
