That's despite Nadine Dorries saying, in June 2013, she would no longer claim personal expenses and would use her salary to fund her second home in Westminster.

"I have removed myself from the expenses system," she wrote on her blog. But details released today show she claimed the money between August and November 2015. According to her latest register of financial interests, she is also receiving £11,000 a month from her publisher.

A Luton mum says she was left "baffled" by worries of nursery staff about her four-year-old son's drawings, which they wanted to refer to counter terrorism services.

The nursery said the case wasn't referred to Channel, external, a de-radicalisation programme, but was referred to a panel made up of police and social services. It decided there was no need for further action.

Since last July, teachers and public service workers have a legal obligation to report any concerns of extremist behaviour to the authorities. Just under 2,000 under 15s were referred between January 2012 and December 2015. Hear the full report at 17:00 here.
