Proposals for a permanent memorial honouring a police officer killed during the Westminste­r terror attack while guarding Parliament have been submitted to council officials.

The Police Memorial Trust is seeking permission for a memorial stone outside the Palace of Westminste­r next to the entrance where Pc Keith Palmer was murdered.

Ex-Brexit Minister Steve Baker got more adrenaline than he bargained for when his parachute failed to open while skydiving on holiday.

The Tory MP went into a “fast spiral dive” and had to rely on his reserve parachute. He performed an emergency landing and came down on a golf course in the Algarve, Portugal. CHELSEA CLINTON has said she has not ruled our running for office in the future, although she described a move into politics as a “definite no now”.

She told the Edinburgh Internatio­nal Book Festival that while she “abhorred” Donald Trump’s presidency, she has no current plans to follow in her parents’ footsteps. She strongly criticised the US leader on issues such as the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border, branding the policy “the greatest sin of the moment”.

“At federal level as much as I abhor so much of what President Trump is doing, I have a great amount of gratitude for what my congresswo­man and my senators are doing to try to stop him at every point,” Ms Clinton said.

“While I disagree with the President, other offices that I could run for I think my family ... is being really well represente­d, but if that were to change, if my city councillor were to retire, if my congresswo­man were to retire, my senators, and I thought that I could make a positive impact, then I think I would really have to ask my answer to that question.

“For me it’s a definite no now but it’s a definite maybe in the future because who knows what the future is going to bring?”

Ms Clinton, who was promoting her children’s book on women who have persisted against adversity, also spoke about how her mother Hillary Clinton had handled the loss of the 2016 presidenti­al election.
