Grenfell cladding hits value of London flats

    A homeowner in a housing complex in London with Grenfell-type cladding has been told the value of her £475,000 home has collapsed and is now just £50,000. Galliard Homes, the developer of the 11-block complex in New Capital Quay in south-east London, is facing a £30m-£40m bill to replace the cladding and is currently locked in a legal dispute over who should pay. The dispute, which could take years to resolve, has left Cecile Langevin, 32, and potentially thousands of others up and down the country, with an unsellable flat. It is like someone has taken away our life choices, our freedom, she said. And nobody is doing anything about it, she added, in tears. She has a two-year-old son and was due to give birth to her second child on Saturday. She had put their flat ...

Trump morally unfit to be president: James Comey

    Donald Trump lies constantly and is morally unfit to be US president, according to former FBI boss James Comey. The man fired by Mr Trump last year told ABC News: I don't buy this stuff about him being mentally incompetent or early stages of dementia. I don't think he's medically unfit to be president. I think he's morally unfit to be president, he added. The President lashed out at Mr Comey, calling him a slimeball in a series of tweets before the US TV interview and labelling him the WORST FBI director in history, by far. He said Mr Comey was lying and is not smart. The former FBI chief appeared to hold nothing back when he got in front of the cameras. [He] talks about and treats women like they're pieces of meat [and] lies constantly about matters big and sma...

UK braced for Russian cyber war

    Britain was braced for a Russian cyber attack last night as officials warned of swift retaliation for the military strikes on Syria. Intelligence officers at GCHQ and the Ministry of Defence are on standby to hit back if the Kremlin wages cyber warfare. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson acknowledged the threat yesterday, saying the UK had to take ‘every possible precaution’. It is feared vital transport systems, water supplies, gas networks, banks, hospitals and even air traffic control could be hacked by Russia in response to the assault on Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons facilities. Intelligence sources also fear the retaliation could involve the online release of so-called kompromat compromising information on MPs or other public figures. Last night, the Pent...
