Almost a decade after York chef Claudia Lawrence vanished from the city, police still don't know what happened to her.

Her house remains empty, preserved by her family in the hope she might one day return.

For years, her dresses have hung unworn in the wardrobe, some with tags still attached.

The remnants of her belongings are now pushed against the walls in haphazard piles.

Since she vanished - presumed murdered - a number of significant dates have passed, including her 40th and 45th birthdays.

For her friends and family, it has been an unbearable time...

Yesterday, the South Yorkshire MP voted in Parliament against a second Brexit referendum.

In a letter to Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Ms Peacock quit as a whip, saying she had been elected to honour the 2016 referendum result.

She wrote: "The people of Barnsley elected me to honour that promise and that is what I did tonight.

"I felt in all good conscience I had to vote tonight to clearly rule out any form of second referendum.

"I believe the people spoke in 2016 and we need to enact their decision."

Patricia Robertshaw, 42, pretended to have radiotherapy to acquire three months' sick pay from Yorkshire Cancer Research in Harrogate.

She admitted four counts of fraud and one of forgery at a previous York Crown Court hearing.

The court heard her scheme started in April 2016 and was eventually discovered in November 2017.

Robertshaw, of Gisburn Road, Barrowford, Lancashire, also used three fake degree certificates to apply for jobs at other companies while off work.

Sentencing her, Judge Andrew Stubbs QC said: "Embedded in the charity as you were, you would have known the good that money would have done.

"Those claims were as bogus as the qualifications you had used.

"This led to you claiming, without any apparent sense of shame, that you had cancer while working for a cancer charity."
