An 81-year-old man who has completed more than 300 Parkruns is locked in a legal row with his two stepchildren who accuse him of trespassing in their mother’s house.

Michael Morfey has been described in court as “Marvellous Mike” as a result of his running prowess.

Chris Kaba hugged his mother and set off from her home in Peckham, southeast London, shortly after 9pm on September 5, 2022. He said he was going to visit a friend and drove away in a blue Audi Q8. It would be the last time that Helen Lumuanganu, 53, saw her son alive. Here is how the fatal shooting of the 24-year-old unfolded.

At the start of a 12-hour shift, firearms officers in Lambeth attended their daily briefing. Senior officers ran through a list of incidents including a shooting outside a school in Brixton, south London, the previous night.

Steve Reed has one of the trickiest jobs in government.

The new environment secretary is a key member of Sir Keir Starmer’s inner circle, in a government elected on a pledge to “get Britain building again”.

Angela Rayner, the housing secretary and deputy prime minister, leads the charge on building homes and Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, plans a blitz of solar panels and wind turbines, but Reed, 60, has a grander task: as he put it last month in an address to the Labour Party conference, to “give our children back the natural world that is their birthright”.

A Metropolitan Police firearms officer might have been “angry, frustrated and annoyed” when he shot dead a black man driving a car linked to a gun discharge the previous day, a court was told.

Martyn Blake, 40, let off a single shot into the head of Chris Kaba, 24, during a “hard stop” in Kirkstall Gardens in Streatham Hill, south London, on September 5, 2022. Kaba died in hospital shortly after midnight on September 6. Blake denies murder.

Lambeth council calls an end to ‘trial’ of Streatham Wells LTN — but claims it met objectives

A low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) that has caused unprecedented congestion and major bus delays on one of the main routes out of London will be suspended, the local council has announced.

Bus operators said they were not consulted about the plans and laid the blame on the delays on the Streatham Wells low-traffic neighbourhood

Lambeth council went ahead with scheme despite risk assessment finding that it would increase congestion on its boundary roads

A new low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) is causing such bad congestion that buses running along its boundary are taking up to two hours to travel less than three miles.
