Jones, who was a banned driver, was driving an Audi S3 at motorway speeds on residential roads that were 20mph, before the car crashed into a boundary wall. In an attempt to cover his tracks, Jones blamed Ms Mabbitt for the collision, and told  witnesses: 'I need to get the guy who was driving the car' and 'My missus just crashed the car.'

A report by the Welsh Labour government has decreed that four-day work weeks might be racist as they 'discriminate' against ethnic minority groups working in front-line public sector roles. A trial, which will start after a consultation that took a year, in Wales will see the working hours of some public sector staff cut by one-fifth with no reduction in salary.
