The award-winning producer and screenwriter of Philomena’s new show, Suspect, is about the shooting of an innocent young Brazilian electrician on the London Underground in the wake of the 7/7 bombings. Here he asks why the force still can’t admit that it acted incompetently‘Everybody’s human. Mistakes can be made But you are really not prepared to say that any mistake [was made] here, are you?”Michael Mansfield QC put this question to Cressida Dick – then deputy assistant commissioner at the Metropolitan police – at the inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, a young man who, 20 years ago this summer, was shot dead at Stockwell station in south London by Met firearms officers.

We’re just two tracks in; Tempest assures us that if the electronics are not back up soon, they’ll do the whole show a cappella.They could, too. The teenage Tempest cut their teeth battle-rapping in south London, turning to slam poetry when more direct avenues into hip-hop refused to open easily to a young, blond slip of a thing. You suspect they have never wasted the opportunity when handed a mic. Given Tempest’s extended output over more than a decade of albums, works of fiction, poems, plays and nonfiction, with prizes and accolades for many of them – you can’t imagine them ever being a...

3 d. ago ‘Another nail in the coffin’: Germany’s car industry faces up to Trump’s tariffs

There are major concerns about the potentially ‘catastrophic’ impact US policy will have on vehicle makers Emerging into the springtime sun from gate 17 at Volkswagen’s main factory in Wolfsburg at the end of his shift on Thursday afternoon, Carsten, 63, pulled heavily on a cigarette and shook his head when asked about Donald Trump’s US tariff policies.“It’s just another nail in the coffin for the German car industry,” the assembly line worker said. He cited managers’ plans to slash jobs and close factories earlier this year, and a decade before that the ‘dieselgate’ scandal, costly both financially and reputationally, after Germany’s largest carmaker was found to have falsified CO2 emissions tests.
