Labour Party

Former Labour MP for Hartlepool, Mike Hill, has been ordered to pay damages to a former parliamentary worker who he sexually assaulted, harassed and victimised.

The prime minister and Chancellor Rishi Sunak have been resisting demands to set out new tax-and-spend measures to alleviate the squeeze.

Mark Fryer, councillor for St John's, Stainburn and Great Clifton ward was chosen to lead the Labour group.
