NEW; THREAD: The Labour Party has been handed what it claims to be a business card for the financier Lex Greensill -- when he worked in government under David Cameron.

Mr Greensill is described on the card as a "senior adviser" in the Prime Minister's Office -- and it includes a Downing Street email address and what appears to be a direct line landline telephone number.

Labour say it was handed to a figure in industry in the summer of 2012 by Mr Greensill, shortly after he was appointed as an unpaid "Supply Chain Finance Advisor."

Professor Martin Green, Chief Executive of Care England, tells the Health Select Committee that despite what others have said "there were cases of people....who were symptomatic discharged into care homes."

Professor Green: "We should have been focusing on care homes from the start of this pandemic. The focus was on the NHS. Support was withdrawn." There was "destruction of our supply chains on PPE. We didn’t see everyone who needed a hospital intervention going to hospital."

James Bullion, Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in England: "We still don’t have an effective supply chain, although things have improved since March."

The Leader of the Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, has told us on the #CoronavirusNewscast: "I really hated selling myself to the membership."

Asked whether the challenge of getting the Labour party through what had been "a turbulent time" felt "as he expected" he said:

“For me personally, I really hated selling myself to the membership and I much prefer leadership decisions as leader of the Labour Party.”

“I’m much more comfortable in this than I am in the campaign.”

@BBCShropshire

A Labour candidate who’s been deselected five weeks before the election says she was a victim of a “pretty sustained campaign of bullying and undermining,” reports @BBCShropshire #GE2019

@BBCShropshire

@BBCShropshire Laura Davies was told on Monday after a phone hearing by Labour’s ruling National Executive that the party wouldn’t support her candidacy – which would have been her third in the Shrewsbury & Atcham constituency.

@BBCShropshire

@BBCShropshire Speaking to BBC Radio Shropshire, Dr Davies said she wasn’t expecting the decision, and says she was unaware of some of the complaints against her, which she says dated back to 2017 and were completely trivial or fabricated.
