Lambeth Council finally agrees to refund drivers fined because of the unlawful West Dulwich LTN. That could cost the council up to £1.5m but as of yet no one had taken responsibility for this monumental waste of taxpayers’ cash. Why not? @RezinaChowdhury

A council has spent more than half a million pounds housing a vulnerable ten-year-old boy in an unregistered children’s home for four months. Everything in this story is a shocking indictment of our social care system.

This is a scandal hiding in plain sight - 100s of vulnerable kids sent to illegal children's homes every year at vast public expense. This latest case reveals a system in complete crisis. My report for.@TBIJ & @thetimes with @andrewellson

Govt to invest £10bn in Homes England to encourage private investment in housebuilding. This is the agency that gave £94m to McCarthy Stone, a developer with am awful record of ripping off the elderly, with virtually no scrutiny. Private sector sharks will be rubbing their hands.
