At the time, more than 150 people were inside, but no-one was killed or seriously injured.

Families in the South East are the most likely to make complaints about education and children's services provided by their local authority.That is according to the Local Government Ombudsman's annual report.

It said that area made up 35% of the enquiries it received from people in the region, compared to an average of 27% across the country.In Surrey 141 complaints across all areas of government were upheld, in Kent 76, West Sussex saw 36 decisions upheld, East Sussex 28 and Medway 16.The ombudsman said many councils did not comply with its recommendations in good time, with one in five missing deadlines to correct mistakes.

Amerdeep Somal, local government and social care ombudsman, said: “What we’re seeing in the majority of cases isn’t a lack of care or an inability to take responsibility for what has gone wrong, but a sector struggling to cope.“Almost all councils want to comply with our recommendations, accept responsibility when things go wrong, and provide good services to residents, and our 99.5% compliance rate indicates this is the case.

"But all too often resources and finances prevent them from doing so as swiftly as they should."

Eighty per cent of the total complaints received were upheld, up six per cent from the previous year.It is possible to buy and re-purpose a channel that has already been monetised by YouTube. It can be a quick way to build an audience, enabling the account to start making money right away.

Although I’ve found no evidence to back up these claims of Russian links to Channel3Now, pro-Kremlin Telegram channels did reshare and amplify the site’s false posts. This is a tactic they often use.Kevin said the site is a commercial operation and “covering as many stories as possible” helps it generate income. The majority of its stories are accurate - seemingly drawing from reliable sources about shootings and car accidents in the US. However, the site has shared further false speculation about the Southport attacker and also the person who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump.

Following the false Southport story and media coverage about Channel3Now, Kevin says its YouTube channel and almost all of its “multiple Facebook pages” have been suspended, but not its X accounts. A Facebook page exclusively re-sharing content from the site called the Daily Felon also remains live.Kevin says that the blame for social media storm relating to the Southport suspect and the subsequent riots cannot be laid squarely on a “small Twitter account” making “a mistake”.
