Family of Westminster attack victim Pc in bid to halt inquest

    The family of murdered police officer Keith Palmer have made an 11th hour bid to halt an inquest into his death after being refused legal aid.

If we reach no agreement this is what will happen, among other things, Ms Loiseau told an event in London. The warning comes one week after a secret Treasury document acknowledged there were questions about rail access to the EU if there is a no-deal Brexit. But No 10 refused to discuss what was meant by the reference on the Operation Yellowhammer document, photographed as a minister carried it into a Whitehall meeting.
