I condemn and am horrified by the appalling attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. My thoughts are with survivors, victims’ families and the Jewish community.

Ofwat to investigate £1.3m in extra pay to Yorkshire Water CEO

Ofwat is to investigate £1.3 million in extra pay received by Yorkshire Water’s chief executive from the firm’s offshore parent company.
