It all felt a bit like a last desperate attempt to back Mr Busching's statements with concrete, physical evidence.

The staff only backed down when her mum told them she'd had a fast, unassisted delivery, and pointed out the clear forceps marks on the baby's head"I feel for the other mother who had been happily feeding me for two days and then had to give up one baby for another," she says.

"There was never any apology, it was just 'one of those silly errors', but the trauma affected my mother for a long time."Matthew's father, an insurance agent from the Home Counties, was a keen amateur cyclist who spent his life following the local racing scene.He lived alone in retirement and over the last decade his health had been deteriorating.

Matthew thought long and hard about telling him the truth about his family history but, in the end, decided against it."I just felt my dad doesn't need this," he says. "He had lived 78 years in a type of ignorance, so it didn't feel right to share it with him."

Matthew's father died last year without ever knowing he'd been celebrating his birthday a day early for the past eight decades.

Since then, Matthew has driven to the West Country to meet his dad's genetic first cousin and her daughter for coffee.Meanwhile, there has been criticism of Badenoch's performance against Sir Keir Starmer in Prime Minister's Questions and her decision to take time to work out policy positions on key issues.

Asked about Stride's comment that she would get better, Badenoch told the BBC: "The people who have done this job before have all told me that the first day is not what the last day is going to be like."That every week is different, every week you're learning.

"And that's what you want, you want people who are going to get better."Badenoch, who became Tory leader in November, admitted her party had "made some mistakes" and had "hit rock bottom" at the last general election.
