"The winter fuel cuts and further government cuts are hitting people hard and continuing the cost of living crisis. As mayor I would do my best to deliver more to support people who are being let down by Labour's lack of support."
A press complaint by a former Fujitsu CEO about his role in the Post Office scandal has been partly overturned by the industry watchdog following new information uncovered by a BBC investigation.The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) now says the Sunday Times had not been misleading when it reported that Michael Keegan had been "central" to Fujitsu's dealings with the Post Office, reversing a ruling it made in 2022.
It is the first time the watchdog has revisited one of its published findings on the basis of new information.A separate part of the complaint remains upheld for which the newspaper published a correction three years ago.Ipso said Mr Keegan told it, as part of its original investigation in 2022, that he had only met former Post Office chief Paula Vennells once and "that he had no ongoing relationship with her; and that he did not discuss or give her any assurances regarding Horizon's capabilities".
But last year BBC News revealed Mr Keegan had in fact had four meetings with her during his 13 months heading up Fujitsu UK from May 2014 to June 2015.Two of these were face-to-face meetings and the other two were telephone calls, one of which concerned a BBC Panorama investigation into the scandal.
Mr Keegan now accepts the new information shows he met Ms Vennells more than once.
But he told Ipso the number of times he met or spoke to her was "immaterial" to his complaint and that he had not played a "central role", as reported by the Sunday Times.Emin rose to fame alongside the likes of Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas as one of the YBAs. The Young British Artists, labelled in the late 1980s, were known for their openness to different material and processes, their shock tactics and their entrepreneurial spirit.
She had left school at 13, and has previously talked of being abused as a child and raped at that age. She tells me she only returned to education "by law" at 15 and only until she was legally allowed to leave. She spent most of her time in the art department.Emin only ever wanted to be an artist. The art teachers encouraged her. A while back, she actually bumped into one, Mrs Morris, in Marks and Spencer. "She was 86 then, and she was so proud of me and it was so sweet."
Emin has always made deeply personal work. My Bed, her groundbreaking 1999 Turner Prize installation, was a dishevelled double bed surrounded by overflowing ashtrays, used condoms and empty vodka bottles.But whether it was that depiction of a period in her life when she was at a low ebb, drinking too much and eating too little; or a neon sign proclaiming "I could have really loved you"; or any one of her visceral paintings, Emin has always poured her emotions, her experiences and her trauma into her art.
