News about Helen Hayes

A devastated grandmother fears she may have to close her Caribbean restaurant after learning that five large telecom boxes blocking its view will not be removed. Debbie Monfries, 64, claimed the 6ft tall boxes have 'ruined' passing trade at Umana Yana in Herne Hill, south London , as potential customers can't see the restaurant. The boxes were installed in 2012 and immediately impacted her revenue, Mrs Monfries said. The grandmother-of-six then started complaining to Southwark Council, hoping they could be removed, and over the years has received significant support - including from famous faces such as rapper Central Cee. But last week, after 12 years of wrangling, Mrs Monfries was finally told the boxes would be staying - leaving her fearing for the future of her beloved restaurant.

Graham Reid, of no particular address, appeared at Llandudno Magistrates Court in North Wales for a brief hearing, wearing a black jumper and trousers with a black gilet. Between August 26 and December 2 last year, he was suspected of sending malicious messages to Keir Starmer (left). Reid's email to Sir Keir was supposed to cause 'distress or anxiety,' the court heard. Ms Hayes (right) has been charged with non-violent harassment in Lambeth's eastern suburbs between June 29 and September 2 this year, which also included offensive emails.

In the House of Commons on Tuesday, Sir Keir Starmer faced a major Labour revolt as hundreds of his MPs protested him and backed calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. In the Middle East, Labour leader Ed Miliband's vast swaths of his parliamentary party ignored his orders and voted in favour of a SNP-led demand for a "immediate ceasefire" as a result. Sir Keir himself lost a few of his frontbenchers after they disregarded a three-line whip he had issued. At least five of his shadow ministers, including Yasmin Qurez Shah, Helen Hayes, Paula Barker, and Afzal Khan, broke ranks with their party leader and announced their support for a ceasefire. Ms Quentin, Ms Barker, and Mr Khan resigned from their positions before tonight's election. Despite the Labour leader's order to inform his MPs not to vote on an amendment to Sir Keir's Speech, his challenge to his authority came. He had instead ordered his parliamentary party to vote for a bland bill he presented himself, which advocated for 'human pauses' in the conflict. The vote took place this evening as pro-Palestinian backers staged a large rally outside Parliament. A total of 125 MPs endorsed the SNP bill, which means it was likely supported by hundreds of Labour MPs. The crisis in the Middle East, which had been sparked by the Hamas terrorist atrocities on October 7th, had already caused weeks of misery for Sir Keir as he battled with the country's deep divisions.

Ministers have been told that a lack of tailored assistance has resulted in children with special educational needs and disabilities being taught in school cupboards. Richard Foord, the Liberal Democrat MP for Tiverton and Honiton, was one of those who urged the government to do more to improve special needs services. Mr Foord said in the Commons: "The Send crisis extends to Devon, and my mailbag is full of letters from parents who are trying to get their children the education they need.'

After his sudden death, British boxer Dillian Whyte paid tribute to his close friend's son. This morning, the former heavyweight champion, 34, took to social media to post a note by Dean Whyte, who often refers to as his brother, announcing the news. Dean, who has been known on his own for assisting in the promotion of Dillian's fights, posted a personal note on Instagram, saying: 'R.I.P. my boy.' Daddy loves you. Life has changed forever.' Dillian, a former WBC interim heavyweight champion, shared the article, which featured a number of broken heart emojis. The photograph depicts Perm, a well-known drill rapper from South London, wearing a neckless with the letters CT - a drill company that shares its name with the south London gang ClapTown.

Following the deadly shooting in Brixton (photo left and top right: police at the scene on Sunday evening), south London, officers are this morning looking for the shooter. During the horrific shooting, which took place around 7.50 p.m. (pictured bottom right: A crashed vehicle on Sunday night) at least '12 shots' were fired between a 'pair on a moped and people in a car). Both men were wounded on the scene but died shortly after due to their injuries. Any further information about the victims have yet to be released, and no arrests have been made. In Britain's apparently lawless capital, a horrific double shooting follows a weekend of gun and knife violence. A man was stabbed to death in Wembley on Sunday, and a 32-year-old man was killed during a knife assault near Waterloo Station on Saturday. The deadly attacks happened just days after two men were brutally shot down in Ilford, east London, on Tuesday, with no arrests made at the time. A third man sustained significant injuries as a result of his operation. None of the incidents have been traced to police, although police officers have yet to make an arrest in three of the four incidents.

The Metropolitan Police said two men died after the sound of gunshots was heard in Lambeth, south London, on Sunday evening. On Railton Road, police were alerted at 7.50 p.m. to reports of a gun fire. Along with the London Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance, police, including firearms officers, are on the scene. Two men were wounded at the hospital, but both men were declared dead at the scene despite emergency services' efforts.

EXCLUSIVE: Photographs depict the Prime Minister's grotty green Toyota Previa GX rammed with bags, baskets, and containers labeled with their contents. The non-ULEZ compliant banger has clearly seen better days, with a torn plastic bag, a bottle, an empty food container, and a creased cap all being discarded on the filthy floor as a single workout weight. Mr Johnson, 58, has a long history with the notoriously temperamental car, and was caught in 2019 trying to change a tyre while lying in a puddle in a desperate attempt to save a romantic evening out with Carrie.

Boris Johnson seems to be taking notes from a former Prime Minister as he looks to buy a house in the same south London suburb Margaret Thatcher bought after she left No. 10 Downing Street. The outgoing Prime Minister, Robert Leo Varadkar, will step down from his post as Prime Minister in Dulwich Village with wife Carrie, 34, and the couple's two children. Mr and Mrs Johnson owned a house overlooking Brunswick Park in Camberwell, south London, before moving to Number ten in 2019.
