Running on "develop" branch.

When logging in to the Docker for the first time as Emergency Admin user on: http://0.0.0.0:3000/admin?emergency=1

I got the following error:

NoMethodError in AdminGeneralController#index

undefined method `created_at' for nil:NilClass

Similar to: https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/5604

Maybe this can be merged to: https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/5996

Yeah I think this is basically a problem specific to the emergency user which is essentially no longer supported https://github.com/mysociety/alaveteli/issues/5996
