On Sunday, the Cabinet Office was forced to issue a statement denying that senior figures had been able to edit or influence the 37-page document that was published on Wednesday. A spokesperson stressed that Ms Gray’s long-awaited report had been “impartially conducted”, and that its contents “represent the findings and conclusions of the investigation team alone”.   2 / [UK calls for investigation after fans tear-gassed at Champions League final]( Culture secretary Nadine Dorries called for an inquiry into ‘deeply concerning’ reports of fan chaos 3 / [Windrush scandal caused by ‘decades of racist immigration laws’, leaked report says]( The report focused on immigration law during the period 1950-1981 4 / [Holidaymakers hit by weekend of travel chaos after airports see hundreds of cancellations and delays]( A number of budget airlines grounded flights while Dover saw hours-long delays 5 / [Kevin Spacey faces formal extradition to UK over sexual assault charges]( Experts say US police officials maybe sent to detain Spacey and produce him in federal court     The Big Question How can I get the government’s new £650 energy bill grant?
