There have been penalties for those who looked the other way when Epstein was convicted of child sex offences and decided to maintain relationships with the financier — but not for the British ambassador to Washington, reveals SOLOMON HUGHES
The flame lit by Corbyn can never be put out
Labour gained 3.5 million new votes in 2017 and won the biggest swing in vote share since 1945. Jeremy Corbyn's policies are the reason why — we must never forget this fact, or abandon the cause of socialism, writes CHELLEY RYAN

IT seems appropriate somehow that it was on another April 4, 26 years ago, that I lost my precious dad to the ruthless cruelty of prostate cancer. At the age of 23, I was reminded that life is not fair, that bad things happen to good people.
Maybe that’s why I’m not so shocked that on another April 4, we lose Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. And my feelings about it are not dissimilar to my feelings when I lost my dad too soon.
The anger I felt towards my dad’s cancer for cutting him down in his prime, I feel towards all the forces that were waged against Corbyn’s leadership to make sure he would never become prime minister, except more keenly because cancer doesn’t have a brain.
