Police say they let hundreds gather in Manchester at funeral of 'Mr Ibiza' godfather 'in the interests of public safety' and didn't step in 'because emotions were high' - as suspected gunman is arrested for attempted murder

A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly opening fire at mourners flouting social distancing rules while attending the funeral of a father dubbed 'Mr Ibiza' in a Manchester cemetery before being stabbed. Police in the area at the time scrambled to Gorton Cemetery, Woodland Avenue after a man walked into the crowd and started firing shots last night. 

The alleged gunman was stabbed with a knife and rushed to hospital with what are understood to be serious face lacerations. He has since been discharged from hospital and is now being questioned by police in custody. The horrifying incident occurred as large numbers of friends and family (left and right) gathered to pay their final respects to Clive Pinnock (bottom inset), 38, who was killed in a collision with a BMW. Senior Investigating Officer Detective Inspector Claire Moss, said: 'Whilst we currently have a man in custody I want to make it very clear that our investigation does not stop here.'

Amber Rudd Quits As Home Secretary To Take 'Responsibility' For Misleading MPs Over Targets For Kicking Out illegal Immigrants

Home Secretary Amber Rudd shocked Westminster last night by resigning over the raging Windrush scandal

Amber Rudd finally bowed to massive pressure last night and quit saying she had to 'take responsibility' for misleading parliament over deportation targets for illegal migrants.

With no sign of the scandal blowing over, the Home Secretary decided to fall on her sword rather than face more humiliation.

'I feel it is necessary to do so because I inadvertently misled the Home Affairs Select Committee,' she said - admitting she 'should have been aware' the targets existed.  

The dramatic departure will be a huge blow for Theresa May - and potentially leaves her personally vulnerable.
