- Police found a 61-year-old man in a shed with no heating near Carlisle, Cumbria

- Swailes Jr was sentenced to a nine-month jail term, suspended for 18 months
- Solicitor General Alex Chalk has told MPs he would give the case 'close attention' after being asked to review it under the unduly lenient sentence scheme. Mail.
