The mother of Stephen Lawrence is pressing for the cowardly undercover police officer who spied on her family's campaign for justice to be questioned at a public inquiry. The spycops inquiry has previously ruled that the undercover officer, David Hagan, was too ill to give live evidence, after submissions by his lawyers.

Dakarai Larriett is not your conventional candidate for the U.S. Senate, least of all from Alabama.
