We need to have an honest, open conversation about the evidence in relation to the history of cannabis and our laws in the UK and our experience of the health consequences in relation to crime and the community - Mayor of London Sadiq Khan as he announced a new group to consider the decriminalisation of the drug in Britain.

I believe his appointment will be good for England’s Test team - Director of men’s cricket Robert Key after Brendon McCullum was appointed the new head coach of England’s Test side.
