How close did Iran's two missiles get to Diego Garcia? After the attack at the weekend, Israel warned Iran could now hit London. The defence secretary has now told MPs: “Neither got close to Diego Garcia." But he did not go into detail on what counts as 'close'.

The branch of Boots on Great Portland Street has just told me that I should have someone with me when I come out as a blind person. When I objected to them telling me howl to lead my life, they said it was for my own good. Unbelievable. Last time I go in there #boots

This by-election result is about more than one seat - it goes to the general election. Labour had hoped it could win that by harnessing the anti-Reform vote. But yesterday proved other parties can take it. Our live blog here: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Good interview with Kemi Badenoch from @_katedevlin in which Badenoch says student debt may put people off having kids. Tories hitting all the right notes on this issue, and it is going to be a problem for Labour... independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Badenoch told me this is "obviously... a personal experience" she had. But many people now pointing out the power of these personal experiences - and that student loan debt is affecting life choices, which can have long-lasting and far-reaching consequences.

In a very personal interview, Badenoch estimates if she had gone to uni later she would have £100k of student loan debt. That wd have left her struggling to buy her first property. AND she may "not have even met" her husband - who lived near that first flat.

Anyone else seen ‘How to Get to Heaven From Belfast’? From the same writer/team as Derry Girls. On @Netflix. Very dark comedy, with gripping plot and some great performances. I binged. But, gosh, I have questions

Here's my story about Jesse Jackson. In 2012, I was offered an interview with him for the Evening Standard. Of course, I accepted. Who would turn down a chance to meet a historic figure who had been a friend of Dr Martin Luther King? more follows...
