It was confirmed last Tuesday that the DPP would not be bringing charges against Mr Lowry over the findings of the tribunal, with the Independent TD excoriating the process. In his statement on Tuesday evening, Mr Lowry claimed the report findings had always been “flawed”.

Rents in some of London's poshest postcodes are surging as expats fleeing Dubai search out luxury homes to escape the conflict in the Middle East. It comes as expats, lured to Dubai and other Gulf states by low tax rates and sunny weather, found their lives shattered after Iranian missiles began raining down last month.

Ms Fatemi said that despite the conflict, few of those returning from the Gulf were looking to stay in London long-term.

Chelsea 0 Newcastle 1Chelsea's difficult week continued as Anthony Gordon's goal earned Newcastle a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge to deal a huge blow to their top-four ambitions. James was caught out by the directness of Livramento's pass and the smart running of Willock. Jacob Ramsey's shot deflected off Trevoh Chalobah and required a readjustment from Sanchez to save before boos erupted from near the dugout at half-time. Chelsea's goalkeepers have been in the spotlight this week. James came within inches with a late free-kick and Joao Pedro's header landed on the roof of the goal, but this would not be Chelsea's day.
