Sometimes passengers congratulate Maria Pernia-Digings, 61, on her parking. When she tells me this, she tries to laugh it off as a tiny slight, barely worth commenting on.

I can't think of a better future lawyer than Euen Herbert - who already knows much more about immigration law than most experts because of the Windrush-related difficulties he has faced for years. I hope he gets university funding so he can continue with his studies @LaserMike
