Rapper Giggs dates at Cecconi's, shops at Selfridges and can't resist a Caribbean spot in Peckham
The London Standard

Dress code? There is no code. The London dress code is however I'm feeling.
Home is… That’s a secret. Let’s say it’s just outside London.
Where was your first flat? Bermondsey, Lower Road. Just near Surrey Quays.
What was your first job? Technically, my first proper job was working with my dad. He used to do deliveries and removals — furniture and helping people move house. So that was actually my first job, but my first job job was at McDonald’s in Peckham.
Where would you recommend for a first date? I like to go all out on a date, so maybe Cecconi’s or Stork in Mayfair, in a private room. Or, an Everyman cinema. That’s a great date spot. There’s a bar and you can order food, it’s a chilled night. There are sofas in there and all that. You can just relax.
Where would you buy a present for a partner? I’d probably go anywhere on Bond Street. All the tough guys, they go to Selfridges and Harrods, but Bond Street is a more mature kind of thing.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes
DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start. There are simple, commonsense tweaks to rules widely regarded as far too generous. A key sticking point will be Mahmood’s struggle to sell the proposals to her own backbenchers.
