A dentist from Willesden has been jailed for three years and ordered to pay £50,000 court costs for a fraud amounting to £780,000 at his practice in Kentish Town. 

From 1997 to 2013, 67-year-old Jayantilal Bhikhabhai Mistry was making up addresses for patients, and fictitious patients, and claiming for treatment that was never carried out. 

His crimes were revealed by NHS Protect - responsible for fraud in the health service - which checked the addresses and found that in one case he'd used a branch of a bank that no one could have ever lived at. 

It was later discovered 90% of his patients could not be traced and almost 300 patient addresses that Mistry used did not exist.

Bill Lincoln admitted he had looked after three bags given to him by one of the men who pleaded guilty to being one of the burglars - "Kenny" Collins. 

He says he was given the three bags on the Monday after the burglary. "I was told they contained paperwork, old photographs and bric-a-brac from a house that he had sold…like memorabilia," he said. H

He says he then gave the bags to his nephew Jon Harbinson who said he would put them in his shed. Six weeks later Jon Harbinson and Bill Lincoln returned the bags to "Kenny" Collins in a car park in Enfield. 

When "Kenny" Collins was arrested a few minutes later the bags contained large amounts of jewellery. 

Asked about the moment he wet himself at the police station after his arrest Bill Lincoln said "They let me have a shower and they gave me a police issue tracksuit…but I still felt humiliated."

A petition created by taxi app Uber in response to proposals to tighten private hire regulation in London has reached 200,000 signatures. 

Transport for London (TfL) is consulting on a series of measures which would affect minicab drivers in the capital.

The suggestions - which TfL say could "improve and inform" the regulations that govern London's private hire trade - include enforcing an interval of at least five minutes between a booking and the start of a journey to allow drivers to plan an appropriate route.

But more than 202,000 people have signed a petition warning TfL the proposals will make it harder for people "to get a convenient and affordable ride at the tap of a button".

Uber's UK general manager, Jo Bertram, said: "Some of these plans, like compulsory five minute waits, make no sense at all and would mean an end to the Uber people know and love today."

London mayor Boris Johnson has blamed Uber for increasing traffic levels in the city. 

The number of private hire driver licences in London has risen from 65,000 in March 2013 to 93,000, according to TfL figures.

The private hire consultation closes on Wednesday.

West Ham's Slaven Bilic has commented on Jose Mourinho's sacking from Chelsea:

"I can only say about Mourinho that I'm definitely surprised. When you are the best in the business you have many people who would like you to fail.

"It's a big loss for the league and Premier League is going to miss him. I really hope he is not lost because we'll miss him a lot.

"Nobody knows if Jose would have turned it around. Chelsea are in an uncomfortable situation, but they are not panicking.

"I do believe he would have turned it. It's not the only time this happened to a big club. It happened to Borussia Dortmund [under Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp] last season."

A lorry has shed its load of food waste on the clockwise M25 after being involved in a collision with a few other vehicles just before J21 on the M1.

Drivers are only using the hard shoulder at the moment and there already long queues back to J18 Chorleywood. Google traffic has it as taking 45 minutes where it usually only takes 15 minutes to drive that stretch.

Could cause a lot of problems for Christmas travellers.

"Jose Mourinho is someone who guarantees trophies. He changed Chelsea into a world class club and a special one. Short term, I understand why the decision was made. If you don't get results, you are in danger.

"Will the next man be as good as Mourinho? Probably not."

The king is dead. Long live, well, who?

Chelsea's fans sang Jose Mourinho's name until the end, but ultimately their loyalty and a Premier League triumph seven months ago were no protection from owner Roman Abramovich's ruthless streak.

Now their attention turns to the next man to ride the club's managerial bucking bronco. 

But who are the potential contenders?
