| Clinton attacks timing of UK's Russia report |
| |
| | | A report on alleged Russian interference in UK politics is not due to be published until after the general election. Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has told the BBC she thinks this decision was "inexplicable and shameful", adding that voters "deserve" to see its findings beforehand. But Chancellor Sajid Javid said the timetable was "perfectly normal" because of the sensitive nature of the document, compiled by Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee. Labour disagrees, with shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry calling the decision on timing "clearly politically motivated". The report was completed in March and handed to Downing Street in October. So what might be in it? We take a look. | |

| | | | | Bishop Auckland is a Labour town. It has been since 1918, apart from four years in the 1930s when it was seized by the Liberal Nationals, who later merged into the Conservative Party. But that could change on 12 December. Labour losing this town deep in its industrial heartlands would once have been unthinkable but the once safe seat can no longer be guaranteed. | |

| | | | There's much reaction to Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage's decision not to put up candidates in seats held by the Conservatives at the 2017 general election. The Daily Telegraph calls the move a "retreat", while the Guardian reports on Tories urging Mr Farage to give them a "free run" at Labour-held target constituencies. But the Daily Mirror calls the decision an election "stitch-up". Elsewhere, the Daily Star says the creator of TV school drama Grange Hill has asked the BBC to bring back the show to tackle the dangers of knife crime and online bullying. | |
