Alleged Terror Plot ‘To Kill Theresa May’ Foiled By Police And MI5 – Reports

An alleged plot to blow up the gates of Downing Street and assassinate  Theresa May was foiled by security officials, it has been reported.

The Daily Mirror, Sun and Telegraph stated two terror suspects charged earlier on Tuesday by the Metropolitan Police had been planning an attack on No.10.

In a statement, the Met said Naa’imur Zakariyah Rahman, of North London, and Mohammed Aqib Imran, from Birmingham, were arrested during raids in London and Birmingham last week.

They have been charged with preparation of terrorist acts and are both due to appear in court in Westminster on Wednesday, the Met said. The statement made no reference to the alleged target.

After the first wave of online reports, Sky News also claimed, citing sources,  that police had foiled a plot to kill May.

Its report said police believed there was a plan to launch an improvised explosive device at Downing Street and, in the chaos that ensued, attack and kill May.

Sky’s Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said: “I understand that the head of MI5, Andrew Parker, briefed Cabinet ministers today, such is the seriousness of what they believed they have uncovered.

“It is in essence an extreme Islamist suicide plot against Downing Street.”

The men were arrested last week following a joint operation by MI5, the UK’s counter-terrorism security service, and police.

The force said Rahman, aged 20, had been charged with preparing acts of terrorism and assisting Imran in planning, while Imran, 21, was charged with preparing acts of terrorism.

A total of nine terrorist attacks have been prevented in the UK in the past year, the director general of MI5, Andrew Parker, told the Cabinet on Tuesday.

Parker released the information as an investigation into the security services and police following a string of terror attacks in Britain last year was published.

The official review found Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi was a former “subject of interest” and it is “conceivable” the attack “might have been averted had the cards fallen differently”.

One In Three Mental Health Patients Discharged From Hospital Too Early, Charity Warns
More than one in three (38%) people who have been in hospital after experiencing a mental health crisis feel they were discharged too early, a charity has warned.

A mental health crisis is defined as any situation in which a person feels they need urgent help relating to their mental health, such as having suicidal thoughts or attempting to harm themselves or others.

The new survey from mental health charity Mind also uncovered one in five (21%) said they were given no notice at all that they were going home.

This even happens when people have been an inpatient for a long time, with one in three people (33%) in hospital for more than a month saying they were given less than 48 hours’ notice that they were being discharged or no notice at all.

Worryingly, two out of five people (37%) surveyed said there was no plan for their further care and support after leaving hospital, contrary to official guidelines.

According to Mind, the days and weeks after leaving hospital after a mental health crisis are critical.

People are at high risk of suicide in the first week after leaving hospital and if they are unsupported they could become unwell again and end up back in hospital. Therefore, is important that care plans for ongoing support are made before people leave.

But the survey of more than 1,200 people who have previously been in hospital after a mental health crisis found less than half (44%) said managing their mental health or self-care was considered in plans for leaving hospital.

In addition, only half of people (51%) said their accommodation needs were considered in any plans and less than a third (29%) said money and benefits were considered.

This is something Phillipa, 34, experienced. She has been diagnosed with both emotionally unstable personality disorder and a long-standing eating disorder, and was hospitalised in January 2016.

“I’d been in my local mental health unit for a week, when one morning I woke up to be told that there was a taxi waiting for me downstairs and to get ready,” she said.

“Dazed and confused, still half asleep, I didn’t understand. Did I have an appointment? Was I visiting somewhere? Did they have the right person?

“Within minutes I found myself in the taxi, with all my belongings shoved into four bin liners. Handed not enough medication to get me through the weekend, I was now off suicide watch and, with a staff member, apparently headed for my local Community Mental Health Team (CMHT).

“I didn’t know the time, if I had my door key, if I had money on me or if I had my bus pass. No one could explain what had just happened.”

Phillipa had a whole host of answered questions, such as how she would get the medication she needed, whether she had money on her electricity metre and how she would get home from the CMHT appointment.

“My brain froze. I went into a state of shock,” she said.

“Was I even awake? I cannot do this. I don’t think most people could have coped, and in my already fragile state of mind, I really had no chance.”

According to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines, experiences like Phillipa’s shouldn’t happen.

The guidelines state plans should be made for people’s ongoing care from admission or as early as possible from when they go into hospital.

There should be a written plan put together in collaboration with the person receiving care. Yet nearly two in three people (66%) in the survey said they were not given a written care plan and one in four (23%) said they were unaware of any plan at all.

As well as ongoing mental health care, planning for additional support with housing and finances should be included when people leave hospital.

But around half of respondents said that these things were not well considered or, in some cases, considered at all.

Paul Farmer, chief executive of Mind, called the findings “shocking” “not good enough”.

“It is a tragedy that so many people so very recently leaving the care of hospital are being left to cope alone, and are at risk of losing their lives,” he said.

“Whether you’ve been in hospital for days or for months, when you come out you need the right care and support to help you stay well.

“Leaving hospital and coming home can be daunting. You need to feel prepared and confident you will get the support and services you need to help pick up the pieces and continue getting better. Providers must urgently make the improvements needed for everyone in their care.”

In light of the findings, Mind has produced a booklet to help people plan for their care when they leave hospital after a mental health crisis and a briefing to show what can be done to support people.

HuffPost UK has contacted NHS England for comment on the survey findings and is awaiting response.

Christine Keeler, Ex-Showgirl At Centre Of Profumo Scandal, Dies Aged 75
Christine Keeler, the former showgirl at the heart of the Profumo scandal of the 1960s, has died aged 75.

Her son, Seymour Platt, told the Guardian she died on Monday at the Princess Royal University Hospital, near Farnborough.

“My mother passed away last night at about 11.30pm,” he told the paper.

A hospital spokesman confirmed Ms Keeler had died, having been a patient at the Princess Royal.

Platt paid tribute to his mother in a Facebook post on Tuesday evening.

He wrote: “My mother, the grandmother to my beautiful little girl, passed away late last night.

“She suffered in the last few years with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease but lost the fight.

“As many of you know my mother, Christine Keeler, fought many fights in her eventful life, some fights she lost but some she won.

“She earned her place in British history but at a huge personal price.

“We are all very proud of who she was.”

Miss Keeler was at the centre of the 1963 political scandal, after having an affair with then-Secretary of State for War John Profumo, which enthralled and scandalised the nation.

He was forced to quit his job as War Secretary following lurid disclosures of high-society sex parties and claims he had shared a mistress with a Soviet defence attache.
