A few days later, on October 20, Mr McSweeney, then No 10 chief of staff, reported that his official iPhone had been snatched in London. After Mr McSweeney reported the incident to Downing Street the device was wiped remotely. Now The Mail on Sunday has established Mr McSweeney also possessed two private phones: one was deactivated earlier this year, while the other one is still in service. Mr McSweeney also failed to tell the police that he worked at No 10, meaning the Yard did not realise that the device could contain sensitive material and contacts. Mr McSweeney resigned last month over his role in the decision to appoint Lord Mandelson as the British Government’s representative in Washington.

Scottish human rights lawyer Helen DuffyZubaydah was the first person subjected to the CIA’s so-called “enhanced interrogation techniques” – a euphemism for torture – following September 11. Neither Britain nor individuals working for the state “have been held to account” for either historical or current human rights abuses. It’s made really important contributions to the development of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and many other human rights projects,” Duffy said. That is who we need to worry about.”The increase in armed conflict is adding to the erosion of human rights. The claim that issues like terrorism or immigration means we “can’t afford human rights is, of course, anathema to the whole notion of human rights”.

Five Chelsea players Frank Lampard could sign this summer with Coventry set for promotionFrank Lampard's Coventry City are on the verge of Premier League promotion and the Sky Blues boss could use his Chelsea connections to bring in reinforcements for a survival bidView 5 Images Frank Lampard's Coventry are on the cusp of promotionThe mood at Coventry City is electric, with the Sky Blues teetering on the brink of a fairy tale return to the Premier League. Their central defensive pairing, which rotates frequently, could be exposed by the speed of Premier League attackers, while the midfield clearly lacks a dynamic edge following Ben Sheaf's exit. With that in mind, here are five Chelsea players Lampard might look to bring in this summer, whether on loan deals or permanently. ‌Josh Acheampong (defender)Some Chelsea supporters may baulk at the idea of Josh Acheampong leaving but the young defender clearly needs regular playing time - something a Coventry loan could provide. The former Barcelona prospect is still only 20 but already has a strong physical presence, making him well-suited for a developmental loan in the Premier League.

Emergency services are overhauling how they investigate accidents involving hybrid cars after The Mail on Sunday revealed that motorists are three times more likely to die in hybrids than in petrol cars. Experts believe the heightened death rate could be down to the combination of petrol engines, batteries and electric motors, which make them more prone to fires. A total of 122 people died in hybrid car crashes in 2024, compared with 777 in accidents involving petrol cars, according to Department for Transport figures analysed by the MoS. Pictured: The aftermath of a fire that consumed nine electric vehicles on the M5 in OctoberHowever, they refused to share their findings publicly.
