The home office may not have anticipated an investigation quite as robust as it got when it commissioned an inquiry into Britain's immigration detention centres. Our lead story today analyses the findings of the Shaw report which were published yesterday and asks if it could mark a turning point in the secretive world of British detention.

Elsewhere, hopes that Jeremy Corbyn's left-wing agenda would help to reconnect Labour with voters in Scotland seem to have been dashed today as we report that a new poll has indicated that the party is set to lose more than a dozen seats in the Scottish elections this year.

And, watch our film of activists descending on McDonalds in Whitehall to campaign for better pay and conditions for fast food workers. We hear from the protesters about what life is like for those working in the industry.
