AN awards night celebrating the UK’s insulation industry, due to take place less than six months after the Grenfell Tower fire, has been cancelled after backers refused to fund it.
The National Insulation Industry Awards were to be held tonight but were scrapped when offers of financial support were withdrawn following a Sky News report into fire safety issues.
Organisers had been forced to seek emergency cash after the original funders backed out. A MAN who a judge ruled had probably sexually assaulted his 13-month-old daughter before her death has been smuggled into court with a police escort ahead of him giving evidence at her inquest.
Paul Worthington scurried in through the back door of County Hall in Kendal, shielded by police officers and pursued by press photographers and reporters.
The 49-year-old is due to appear as the main witness in the second inquest into the death of Poppi, who collapsed suddenly at her Barrow-inFurness home on December 12, 2012.
Staff at the court also taped paper over the windows of the building to stop anyone seeing in.
Mr Worthington has been in hiding since January 2016 when family court judge Mr Justice Peter Jackson, now Lord Justice Peter Jackson, made public his conclusion that he probably sexually assaulted his toddler daughter before her collapse.
