Angela Rayner will today write to council leaders urging them to work with the Government on delivering ‘the most ambitious programme of devolution this country has ever seen.’

The deputy prime minister will tell local leaders in areas that have not made a devolution deal – so-called ‘devolution deserts’ – that the Government is ready to help local areas take on powers in areas like transport, adult education and skills, housing and planning, and employment support.

Promising a ‘new devolution revolution’, the deputy PM will write: ‘I want to work with more places to help them use these enhanced powers and role – because I want to drive growth in every part of the country. For any area considering it, now is the time to take the plunge and speak to us about how we can work with you to transform your regions.’

Last week, the deputy PM and Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with all the regional mayors in England and promised that Labour was ready to ‘transfer power out of Whitehall’ through a major programme of devolution. LocalGov

The U.K. government will consider introducing stricter laws on crossbow ownership after three women were killed with one of the weapons in England on Wednesday. Carol Hunt, 61, and her daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, the family of BBC sports broadcaster John Hunt, were fatally attacked in their home northwest of London on Tuesday.

Following an hours-long manhunt, police found 26-year-old suspect Kyle Clifford in a cemetery in north London. He was brought to an area hospital to be treated for unspecified injuries and remained in custody at the facility on Thursday. 

He has not been placed under formal arrest or charged with any crime, but police said he was the sole suspect, and that the attack appeared to have been targeted.

Authorities actively seeking person of interest Kyle Clifford, 26, who may be in possession of a weapon, say UK police. 

A manhunt is underway on Wednesday following the deaths of three women after they were found seriously injured at a residence in Hertfordshire, south eastern England.

Hertfordshire police were called to a property in the town of Bushey just before 7 p.m. BST (1800 GMT) on Tuesday, where they discovered the three women with severe injuries. All three succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit has identified Kyle Clifford, 26, from Enfield, north London, as a person of interest in this case.

Clifford is believed to be in either the Hertfordshire or north London areas, prompting an extensive search effort by law enforcement.

Rob Hall, detective superintendent at the unit, said in a statement: "This is an incredibly difficult incident for the victims’ family and we would ask that their privacy is respected as they come to terms with what has happened."

"Whilst we are still in the early stages of this investigation, we are actively seeking Kyle Clifford," he added.

Stressing the seriousness of the situation, he urged: "Given the serious nature of the incident, I would ask anyone who knows where he is to contact police immediately. If you believe you see him, please do not approach him and dial 999 straight away. He may still be in possession of a weapon." Anadolu Agency
