‘Skeletal’ body of man who lay dead in Bolton flat for six years discovered

Robert Alton, 70, is believed to have died in 2017 with his death going unnoticed by his landlord and local council

The body of a retired bookkeeper lay undiscovered in his flat for six years with his “skeletal” remains found only after housing officials forced entry to carry out a gas safety check, an inquest heard.

Robert Alton is believed to have died in 2017 aged 70, but his death went unnoticed by both his landlord, which continued to receive his rent automatically through housing benefit, and his local council, which seemingly failed to act on Alton’s mounting council tax arrears.

Half-witted, reckless Librium Liz may be even worse than May and Johnson | John Crace

Robotic PM displayed zero awareness in radio interviews of the damage she has done First, an apology. I should never have christened Theresa May “the Maybot”.

Downing Street downtime: how prime ministers like to relax

When not reading Jilly Cooper, Sunak enjoys cricket. Truss is a karaoke fan and Johnson claims to make model buses Painting buses, reading bonkbusters and playing tennis against a machine, are just a few of the ways British prime ministers have said they unwind and “chillax”. Rishi Sunak is said to be a keen gamer, a big fan of Jilly Cooper’s novel Riders , which he reads to relax, and a decent cricketer. As chancellor, he admitted to being a fan of “ collecting Coca-Cola things ”, telling two sniggering school pupils: “I am a Coke addict. I am a total Coke addict.” Continue reading... source https://oto.oto-login.com/
