 A detail of a Police officer

FIVE officers are being investigated by the police watchdog following the death of a man in custody.

Ellis Rocks died in hospital on August 3 after being found unresponsive in custody two days earlier.

The 26-year-old had been arrested at 8.30pm at the Britannia Hotel in Standish, Wigan, on July 31.

Mr Rocks was handcuffed and searched before being transferred to custody, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) watchdog said.

An ambulance was called by detention officers in the early hours the following day when he was seen to be unresponsive and lying on the floor.

Paramedics arrived, but he suffered a cardiac arrest on route to the hospital and was pronounced dead at 7.20am.

Two Greater Manchester Police officers are being investigated for potential gross misconduct, the IOPC said.

A further three are under investigation for potential breaches of police standards of professional behaviour at the level of misconduct.

The Prime Minister ‘inadvertently’ broke the MP’s code of conduct due to ‘confusion’

The Prime Minister has been brutally ridiculed after the parliament’s standards commissioner declared he had ‘inadvertently’ broken the MPs’ code of conduct, for failing to declare his wife’s shares in a childcare company set to benefit from government policy.

Concerns over shares Akshata Murty held in the childcare company Koru Kids were raised back in April, when the company was listed as one of six childminder agencies in the Tory’s pilot childminder incentive.

Sunak supposedly got ‘confused’ over government rules so failed to declare his interests which led to the conclusion by the parliamentary commissioner for standards, Daniel Greenberg, that he had ‘inadvertently’ broken the rules.

His ‘confusion’ was around the difference between registering and declaring his interests, with the inquiry stating that no further action will be taken.

However, his ‘inadvertent’ rule breaking to the financial benefit of his family has raised many eyebrows. With public figures pointing to a wider theme of Tory MPs excusing themselves from misconduct.

Here’s all the other times Rishi Sunak has appeared ‘confused’ about which conflicts of interests he should and shouldn’t publicly declare.
