An extraordinary row has erupted between groups claiming to be the descendants of an iconic Indigenous leader in a bid to lay claim to prized native title rights.

Members of the group had already tried and failed to gain native title rights over a massive area of land extending for more than 100km between Hornsby and Newcastle.

A town disillusioned: Labour facing historic Hartlepool defeat but little love felt for Tories Colin Drury © Provided by The Independent
Two weeks before the 2019 general election and, at the Hartlepool College of Further Education, a couple of students were talking politics with
The Independent.
As the Conservatives’ destruction of the “red wall” appeared increasingly likely across much of the north, this Tees Valley coastal town felt like it would remain a significant exception.
Her words proved prophetic. In a constituency that had polled almost 70 per cent in favour of leaving the EU and which has experienced almost half a century of economic decline, not even Boris Johnson’s twin promises of getting Brexit done and levelling up the north could persuade most people here to vote for him. Hartlepool remained Labour, as it had been for more or less 60 years.

Archaeologists will move thousands of bodies from the site of a medieval church that lies along the route of the HS2 railway.
The remains of St Mary s Church in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire, built in the 11th century, are being carefully excavated to allow work on the high speed line to continue.
HS2 says all artefacts and human remains that are removed will be treated with dignity, care and respect, and that the work will shine a light on almost 900 years of history at the site.
All discovered remains will be reburied in a local spot to be determined by HS2, with a specially created monument to mark the location.
