    Martin Salter, Labour's Reading West MP between 1997-2010, has been highly critical of Theresa May's decision to govern alongside the DUP.

    The prime minister said she will put together a government with the support of the Democratic Unionists that can provide "certainty" for the future.

    Mr Salter said: "The DUP are a party that none of us get to vote for. They’re a very extreme protestant party, they don’t believe in reproductive rights for women and they have a stone-age approach to social policies.

    "Theresa May has done a shoddy backroom deal with a bunch of right-wing extremists. who now hold the balance of power in this country."

    In a letter released by Isle of Wight councillor Chris Whitehouse, the chair of Ryde governors Lesley Holmes says: "Governors believe that this proposed merger is not in the best interests of... either school."

    Ms Holmes added: "Neither Ryde Academy governors nor [headteacher Joy] Ballard were consulted about the AET proposal prior to the public announcement."

    Police investigating two separate serious assaults in Portsmouth last night have made five arrests.

    The first incident left a man with a serious injury to his chest after police were called to reports of men fighting in Edmund Road, Southsea at 19:06 BST.

    The 23-year-old was taken to Southampton General Hospital and police arrested a 22-year-old man from Kent, a 22-year-old man from London and a 20-year-old man from Southsea.

    The second incident happened at about 21:13 and involved an "altercation" between two men in Queens Road, Fratton. Both men were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

    A 40-year-old man from Portsmouth and a 35-year-old man from Southsea have been arrested in connection with this incident.

    All five men arrested remain in police custody and Hampshire Constabulary said there is "no evidence" to connect the two incidents.

  15. Progressive Alliance's 'enormous impact' in Oxford West and Abingdonpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 9 June 2017

    The Progressive Alliance is celebrating today's result in Oxford West and Abingdon, as back in May the Green Party candidate for the constituency stood aside in a tactical move to stop the Conservatives.

    At the time a Conservative spokeswoman called it "yet more proof of grubby deals being struck to build a coalition of chaos".

    But Tina Leonard from the Progressive Alliance said the move had had an "enormous impact" and was about "building a better society and changing a broken political system".

    She described the defeated Nicola Blackwood as an "absolutely charming Tory MP" who "said all the right things but unfortunately always... voted against all the things that are important for us and for all the things we don’t like, so this time it’s going to be different".

    On 11 August 2016, the officer stopped a member of the public in her vehicle which he threatened to seize.

    He took the woman's keys and issued the woman with a traffic offence ticket.

    He gave her the impression he would report her to the DVLA and/or take further action against her, the hearing was told.

    His behaviour was proven to be was abrupt, rude, bullying and/or lacking in respect and courtesy.

    Deputy chief constable John Campbell said: "We expect all of our officers to uphold high standards of behaviour and to treat the public with respect at all times, and any allegations of behaviour that do not meet those standards are rigorously investigated.

    "In this instance, PC Bevan's actions fell far below the standards of what we, and most importantly the public, expect of police officers."

    MPs are being urged to "present a united front" to the EU for Brexit negotiations.

    Simon Boyd, who is managing director of Dorset-based steel construction company REID steel, is set to write to all MPs asking them to "pull together".

    He said: "WhileIrespect the election result, a hung parliament weakens our country and this does not bode well for strengthening our position in the upcoming Brexit negotiations.

    "This election result does not take away the British people’s decision to leave the EU and our members of parliament, Labour and Conservatives, alike must now throw their combined support behind our government and Brexit negotiating team.

    "To not do this would show contempt for the British people who mostly support the need to get on with the leaving process, and do much damage to the future prospects for the UK."
