Fellows, 45, who previously shot dead ‘gangland kingpins’ Paul Massey and John Kinsella; David Taylor, 64; and Lee Newell, 57; were handed whole life orders after murdering 33-year-old Kyle Bevan at HMP Wakefield at Leeds Crown Court on Friday (June 19).

Leeds Crown Court heard Bevan was stabbed 25 times in his cell with improvised weapons in the jail on November 4 last year. After the attack, his body was placed in his bed, covered with a blanket and made to look as if he were asleep.

Former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe said on Saturday that his Restore party would stand a candidate and announce the name next week.

- Andy Burnham has won the Makerfield by-election by a huge margin, paving the way for a battle for the leadership of the Labour Party.
This morning Rob Parsons, Executive Editor of the Local Democracy Reporting Service at Reach Plc, spoke about the challenges ahead for the 'King of the North'. Although Burnham's victory was a lot bigger than expected, this was the easy part, he says.

- How did Reform lose SO BADLY in Makerfield?

- Description
- Nigel Farage says Reform UK will 'keep going' after an 'emphatic' win for Labour's Andy Burnham in Makerfield. The insurgent right-wing party, which swept to success in swathes of Greater Manchester during last month's local elections including Wigan, finished second in the by-election which could shape the country's political future.
The now-former Greater Manchester mayor secured a whopping 24,927 votes, a share of 54 per cent, while Reform's Robert Kenyon picked up 15,696 votes, a share of 34 per cent. Restore Britain's Rebecca Shepherd finished third with 3,111 votes - seven per cent - while all other candidates lost their deposits.
Having begun the Makerfield by-election campaign with huge confidence after winning 24 of 25 seats on Wigan council, Mr Farage admitted today marked a 'disappointing morning'. He says the party was around 2,000 votes shy of his target.

- This was the night where The Edge, in Wigan, became the centre of British politics.
The voters of Makerfield had been tasked with the huge burden of picking a candidate who could potentially become the next Prime Minister of the UK. No pressure.
The result, in the end, was not especially dramatic. Andy Burnham won by a landslide, with 54.8 percent of the vote, comfortably ahead of Reform’s Rob Kenyon on 34.5 percent
When Restore leader Rupert Lowe was asked by the M.E.N. why his candidate had not done any interviews, he replied: "Well, she's been busy campaigning. Doing interviews doesn't necessarily win you votes, but being out on the street does."
