🔍 Accused

Following the rape conviction of Russell Brand, the Metropolitan Police chief stated that many more victims may come forward as investigations continue. Detectives are already looking into new allegations involving two more women and a schoolgirl; for some, the actor's decades of public behavior were warning enough, but it took a trial and 18 days of harrowing evidence to reach a verdict. Labour MPs are experiencing a bout of buyer’s remorse over their vote to proscribe the protest group Palestine Action, citing the 4,000 arrests that followed. The party is also divided over the North Sea, where Andy Burnham’s proposed gas extraction ban has been described by his own colleagues as perverse. Mr Burnham is on surer ground with a plan to force employers to list salaries in job adverts, a rare moment of transparency in a week where a parliamentary report found non-working royals are still enjoying discounted rent from the Crown Estate.
