They say this is an unsafe conviction at the very least, but maintain Bamber did not and could not have carried out the horrific crimes.

Steve McQueen felt relieved when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had no symptoms, was perfectly fit, at the peak of his game.

Stephen Sackur makes no bones about it: he is not going willingly. “I don’t want to leave the BBC, because I still think I’ve got a lot to offer,” the HARDtalk presenter tells me. “And I don’t want the programme to be closed, but that argument has been definitively lost.

Saddest day in my 35 years at the Guardian as we banged out our great friends, colleagues and team mates at the Observer. We'll miss them hugely. And so will the Guardian and our readers. Terrible decision.
The Guardian bangs out the Observer. Thank you to all of our amazing colleagues. We’ll never forget it ❤️ https://t.co/VoGYQGGdiM
Jeremy Bamber has spent 40 years in jail for murdering five members of his family. Was he wrongfully convicted? I look back over two decades of correspondence with him, our former prisons correspondent Eric Allison and me. https://t.co/ieXrgOZsD4
RT @Dannythefink: Thank you for warning me about the Jews. I will certainly keep an eye out for them. They sound terrible.
