MPs propose that Parliament should approve Theresa May’s deal on one condition –
a new referendum
MPs propose that Parliament should approve Theresa May’s deal on one condition – a new referendum (1). There are signs that this idea will attract support (2).
Phil Wilson is Labour MP for Sedgefield and Peter Kyle is Labour MP for Hove and Portslade. In Sedgefield, County Durham, 60 percent voted Leave, whereas in Hove and Portslade on the south coast the result was 70 per cent for Remain (2016 EU referendum) (1).
At Iniref.org we have argued the case for a new referendum (3) which would pit the government's proposal for leaving the EU (with or without a "deal") against the option of remaining in the EU (4).
We suggest that Wilson and Kyle's proposal (1) is very worthy of serious consideration and debate, a way to end the present brinkmanship and circumvent deadlock in the brexit "game".
Wilson and Kyle write,
"Compromise is needed. Therefore, as MPs who campaigned to remain in the EU in 2016, we are prepared to facilitate the passage of the prime minister’s deal through all its stages in parliament if the deal is to be put to the people for a final decision.
We propose an amendment to the withdrawal agreement making any public vote on the deal legally binding, so the vote would be final. There wouldn’t be the best of three, or even five referendums. Whatever the result, that would be it. Either the withdrawal agreement would be implemented or Article 50 revoked.
The question posed would be a choice between the withdrawal agreement, as passed through both houses of parliament, and membership of the EU on existing terms. Article 50 would need to be extended to accommodate the exercise, but it seems to us that is going to happen anyway."

Tottenham captain, Harry Kane has come out to condemn the racist incident involving teammate, Richarlison during Brazil’s 5-1 friendly victory over Tunisia. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, what happened in Paris was simply unacceptable and disappointing to see, and he hopes FIFA will investigate the matter and dish out the right punishment.
Kane added that he guarantees that players are doing everything within their power to kick out racism as soon as possible.
His words, “It was very disappointing to see,”
“I haven’t seen [Richarlison] and had a chance to talk about the racism that he suffered against Tunisia.I think FIFA have said they are going to investigate and find out what happened, but normally, that kind of thing is unacceptable.”
“I think we’re doing all and much as we can do as players to kick out [racism] as much as possible. I hope FIFA can be strong and find out who done it, making sure the right consequences are made.”
“[Richarlison] is a great guy. I’m really well with him. He works really hard and is really professional. Obviously, he have been great in his first season with us. So, I’m really happy to have him in our team.”

HERE WE GO AGAIN. I just heard Joe Scarborough on MSNBC, after he and Tucker Carlson and Norah O'Donnell clucked about how Jim Webb and Bob Casey Jr. and Harold Ford prove that Democrats are winning by running as conservatives, claim that �Democrats have come a long way since they prevented Bob Casey from speaking at their 1992 conventions ... and they�re gonna win because of it.�
What�s coming our way is a narrative suggesting that Democrats won by acting like centrists or �Republican-lite� candidates. This is absurd. Dennis Yedwab of Media Matters for America has collected data on the Democratic candidates in the top 58 House races (which includes a lot of red states and/or red districts). How many of the 58 are self-described "pro-life"? Nine. How many oppose embryonic stem cell research or support privatization of Social Security or oppose raising the minimum wage. None, none and none again. A pack of Zell Millers this is not.
Yet the national chattering class -- arguing from anecdote and preferring man-bites-dog stories that elevate the exception over the rule -- will blithely continue to perpetuate the bogus narrative that Dems won by acting like conservatives. One needs only to look at where those Republicans are poised to lose to see that this is false. Across the Rust Belt, chock full of Ford- and Rockefeller-style Republicans, is where the GOP losses will come, not in the conservative South. Indeed, there are three Democrats named Murphy alone who are running in suburban Northeastern districts to the left of three of the most moderate Republicans in the Congress, according to their National Journal vote ratings. Two of the three Dropkick Murphys (Chris, CT-5; Lois, PA-6) are leading and the third (Patrick Murphy, PA-8) is within one point, according to Pollster.com.
The fact is that, if all the prognosticators are correct, the House in 110th Congress will witness the replacement of the Republican moderates who followed along with Bush-style, hard-right politics -- and deserve their fate almost as much as the conservatives who led them to their slaughter -- with progressive Democrats. And that means the new Democratic majority will be more progressive as it expands, and the remaining Republican minority will become more conservative as it shrinks. That will also be true in the Senate, whether Harry Reid gets his coveted sixth seat or not.


As salaries, benefits and other expenses climb, so do budgets - and, typically, school taxes - for most school districts each year.
But over the next few years, one line on the budget is expected to not just rise, but escalate, and it has school officials worried.
The two pension systems that school districts must pay each year will cost more in the future. That part is certain. School leaders do not know how much more the bill will rise, but have been told to expect hikes to be large over time.
School districts pay a contribution rate for each pension, and both will increase to make up for billions in assets lost when the stock market crashed last year.
The Teachers' Retirement System - the bigger of the two pension programs - has said that significant increases are on the way, although it will happen over a couple of years to help school districts budget accordingly.
The Employees' Retirement System will up the rate from 7.4 to 11.9 percent in one year, for 2011, and it is likely to continue its ascent.
Factor in increases to salaries and health benefits - and the uncertainty over what districts will receive in state aid going forward - and school leaders will be facing a problem.
"There is a perfect storm brewing for school districts," said David Albert, spokesman for the New York State School Boards Association.
u u u
The recession has caused the state deficit to balloon. It has forced cuts to the state budget, and more are under review.
Districts received no increase in state funds for 2009-10 from the 2008-09 funding level.
The flat funding required many school officials to lower expenses, often by eliminating positions to avoid raising taxes.
Now, a few months later, school officials are threatened with receiving less state funding than promised for 2009-10. If it happens, school districts will have to trim more from the budget.
If midyear cuts are avoided, many school officials believe the state will keep education funds flat again - or decrease them - for 2010-11. That would present more challenges when school budgets are developed next winter.
Unless the state rebounds and pumps more money into education, the budget process will remain a dilemma in 2012, when schools will no longer receive help from the federal stimulus package. The federal bill is providing money for two years to schools, softening the effect from a lack of state funds.
"Having flat state aid creates a squeeze on school districts," Albert said. "They have to go back to either local property taxpayers, or they need to start looking at ways to cut costs, or they need to dip into their reserve funds. They have three options available."
Reserves, though, can deplete. Payroll can reach a point where no more can be reduced without an impact on education. Taxpayers, many already feeling the squeeze, can shoot down budgets if spending goes too high.
School officials say they don't know how they will pay for rising costs, especially pensions, if they climb as predicted.
"I don't know what is going to happen at this point, but I do know we will manage our budget as best as we can," said Douglas Huntley, the superintendent at Queensbury.
u u u
The Teachers' Retirement System is funded three ways. The bulk comes from investments on the stock market. Employers contribute 11 percent, while pension members chip in 3 percent.
The three sources form $72.5 billion in net assets for 2009. The fund was worth $95.8 billion as of June 30, 2008, before the stock market crashed.
State law has created a fixed contribution for members of the pension program. So when investments are lost, employers must contribute more.
School districts contribute a percentage of an employee's salary. Actuaries for the pension program determine the contribution rate each year based on assets and liabilities.
This year, school districts have to pay 6.19 percent. The rate was in the 20 percent range in the 1980s, but had dipped below 1 percent by 2000 following stock market gains through the '90s.
Now, it is expected to reach percentages into the mid-teens in coming years.
John Cardillo, a spokesman with the teachers' retirement system, said the new contribution rate is projected to be in the range of 8.5 to 9 percent. An announcement on the new rate is expected this month, he said.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli announced in September that the Employees' Retirement System was raising the contribution rate to 11.9 percent, up from 7.4 percent.
The pension system for employees (who consist of support staff such as bus drivers and secretaries) lost about $30 billion in investments, bringing the fund to $86.5 billion this year.
The employees' pension plan also relies more on employer contributions when there is a market collapse.
u u u
Robert Lowry, the deputy director of the New York State Council on School Superintendents, said the contribution rates for pensions is applied against the payroll of a school district.
Payroll, he said, is about half of a school budget. So, for instance, if a contribution rate goes up 4 percent, total spending rises 2 percent. That's before factoring in other expenses, he said.
"That's very alarming, and the (state) Comptroller has said we could see by 2015 ERS rates triple," Lowry said, regarding the employees' retirement system.
In Queensbury, where enrollment is 3,800, the district has approximately 550 employees, including 300 teachers.
The budget is $52.8 million, with salaries for employees costing $24.8 million. Of that, teachers' salaries make up $20.6 million.
Based on the 6.19 percent contribution rate, the district has $1.6 million in the budget for teachers' pensions. That's about 3 percent of the budget.
For employees' pensions, Queensbury is paying $530,000, about 1 percent of the budget.
If the rate doubled for teachers' pensions, Queensbury's contribution could be approximately $3.2 million, although the figure will depend on the number of members from Queensbury in the pension program and the salaries they earn.
Meanwhile, Queensbury could be responsible for nearly $1 million if rates for employees' pensions if the rate reaches percentages in the mid-teens.
As the cost of pensions rise, so will other large expenses. For teachers, it is unknown at the moment how much their salaries will increase because they are in the middle of negotiating a contract with the district.
What is certain is they will receive an automatic 2 percent increase in pay (known as a step increase, which they must get by law). For Queensbury, 2 percent would add about $400,000 to the budget each year.
Each year, Queensbury sees an 8 percent increase in health benefits, an extra cost of about $631,000. There is no sign that the upward trend will reverse.
In Cambridge, a district with 960 students, there is $491,000 to pay for teachers' pensions in this year's $17.6 million budget.
Employees' pensions is costing Cambridge $108,000.
Vincent Canini, the superintendent of Cambridge, said seeing rates for both pension programs rise into double-digit percentages is a huge concern for him.
"If it doubles, we are in a position right now where everything is going to take a tail spin. I don't know what is going to happen in the future," he said.
u u u
Members of the teachers' pension program are separated into four tiers, which is based on longevity.
The bulk of the plan's members stop contributing toward their pension after 10 years.
Albert, the state school boards association spokesman, said Gov. David Paterson has proposed creating a fifth tier for new employees, who would have to contribute to their pension for a longer time.
"This could theoretically reduce the burden on school districts," he said.
"But, that is a long-term solution. It is going to take years before you start building a critical mass of employees in the system in order to realize savings."
The idea, though, has generated mixed opinions.
Canini said a new tier can easily be viewed as a great idea, but nobody knows what the effects will be in the future.
Huntley, the superintendent at Queensbury, said it makes sense for employees to contribute more toward their pension.
While the future has school officials worried, one could only speculate on the effects of costlier pensions as there are too many unknowns at the moment, officials said.
Huntley points to last year's situation, when schools were in danger of midyear cuts. The cuts never came, and then the federal stimulus package was made to include money for education.
"That could not be anticipated at this time last year," Huntley said.
But even if the state economy and stock market return to normal, some school officials say the two pension programs need to be improved so school districts could save money.
"I feel that it's unfortunate that (the teachers' pension) lost billions of dollars as a result of investing without collateralization," said James McCarthy, the superintendent at South Glens Falls.
"I think it's presumptuous to assume that taxpayers are going to again underwrite this cost, when they were not the root cause of the problem," he said.

Hepatitis cirrhosis is a relatively common clinical disease. Most of them come from long -term repeated liver injuries. The gradual progress is liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis.So can patients with cirrhosis be pregnant?
According to the condition of liver cirrhosis, it can be divided into early liver cirrhosis and advanced liver cirrhosis. Early liver cirrhosis is also known as the liver cirrhosis. Most of the patients have mild condition and have some chronic liver injury.If it is a viral hepatitis, positive antiviral therapy, if it is the cause of drinking, quit alcohol in time, and on the basis of this, active anti -liver fibrosis therapy is used.Anluo chemical fiber pills, supporting the blood stteril capsules, etc., can effectively degrade liver fibrosis. Early liver cirrhosis can be effectively reversed, cured, and at the same time can be pregnant.
However, if liver cirrhosis develops to a period of loss, there are some serious complications, such as ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, etc., after positive treatment, you can partially control the condition, but it is usually not cured.Patient’s liver function is poor, and it is not recommended to get pregnant.
If patients with liver cirrhosis are pregnant, it is recommended to perform liver function tests, liver B -ultrasound examination. If liver skills are normal, they belong to early liver cirrhosis patients. There is no complications such as ascites and other complications.
In addition, during pregnancy, you must pay attention to rest, ensure sleep, regularly review liver function, liver B -ultrasound, and avoid staying up late.
In terms of diet and allowing the condition, strengthen nutritional supplements, eat some foods that are easy to digest and absorb, and supplement enough protein, which can be pregnant.
If the patient is advanced liver cirrhosis, abnormal liver merit, ascites, accompanied by complications such as spleen, etc., it is not recommended to continue pregnancy, and abortion is recommended, otherwise it will affect the health of pregnant women and even danger to life.
1. If the patient is a liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis B virus is needed;
2. If hepatitis C caused by hepatitis C, hepatitis C virus is required, and regular check -ups should be performed on time. At the same time, liver function and liver B -ultrasound should be reviewed.
3. Pregnant women are prone to cause anemia, and patients with liver sclerosis themselves have anemia tendencies and low platelets. Therefore, blood routine should be monitored to prevent anemia.
4. Patients with liver cirrhosis are prone to severe pregnancy hypertension syndrome, and damage the liver and even endanger mother and child’s life. Therefore, blood pressure must be monitored to prevent pregnancy hypertension.
5. Pregnant women should maintain emotional stability, avoid emotional excitement, peaceful mindset, avoid adverse emotions such as tension, stress, and avoid adverse stimulation.
6. Pay attention to keep warm, avoid colds, avoid colds, fever, and prevent the increase of the disease.

Here’s comes another DJ Hero story. Activision called the game’s launch “successful” at a conference call yesterday, saying that the game represents a “first step toward diversifying beyond rock” and into other genres, like hip hop and electronic music. In other words, the game’s soft sales aren’t necessarily a cause for alarm (if you were ever concerned in the first place).
We’ve already discussed why the game didn’t exactly fly off the shelf: it’s too expensive; people may be burned out on the music game genre; DJing doesn’t appeal to people the way that rock does; and so on. Activision did address one issue, and said that the game’s marketing campaign had only begun in earnest during the World Series. People can’t play a game they don’t know exists.
Activision had better hope that “people may be burned out on the music game genre” isn’t the case if it truly intends for DJ Hero to be a “first step” in branching out to other genres.
And of these genres, which ones have any chance at all of success in the U.S.? You can assume hip hop has the best shot, given its popularity, while electronic music is nowhere near as popular here as it is in Europe.
So yeah, Activision isn’t too concerned right now with DJ Hero‘s performance. Baby steps.

Haute Hygge in Plan Three at Indigo at Canvas Park
The Plan Three townhome at Indigo by Brookfield Residential is an exercise in hygge design and decor. A Danish word that’s derived from old Norwegian and loosely translates to ‘well-being,’ hygge is more a state of being than a particular design form. A cornerstone of Danish culture and everyday life, it resides at the intersection of purpose, form, and style, evocative of all things cozy, charming, warm, and extraordinary. In practice and principle, it’s about creating environments that allow us to enjoy all of life’s great moments with the people we cherish.
Indigo’s Plan Three represents the hallmark of hygge philosophy in 1,527 square feet—classic Scandinavian design with its beautiful simplicity, cheerful minimalism, and purposeful furnishings. Working with a smaller footprint makes this sophisticated yet approachable style shine. Uncluttered and open sight lines, abundant natural light, and considered placement of furniture and embellishments work in harmony to appeal to all the senses. White-washed walls juxtaposed with warm woods, folk-style accents, and greenery are welcoming and inspire relaxed and comfortable living.
The tenets of hygge are embraced throughout this charming three- to four-bedroom floorplan. It’s easy to envision a group of friends enjoying a Sunday brunch in the woven rope dining chairs or seated among the soft fluffy pillows on the couch. Living areas are a gentle balance of soft curves, angular lines, and neutral hues. Every piece and feature is carefully curated and serves a distinct purpose, from open floating shelves in the upstairs loft, playful macrame wall décor as the entry focal point in the dining area, and a beaded chandelier in the master bedroom. An open terrace with its cozy seating extends the home’s living space into the outdoors in comfort and style. Plan Three is designed to inspire us to live comfortably, beautifully, and to fully embrace life’s moments.

VILLA MERCEDES, Argentina (VN) — In the moments after stage 1 of the Tour de San Luís ended on Monday afternoon, the race’s international press corps was, almost in unison, asking the same question, albeit in varying languages and accents: Quien? Chi? Fee-leep? Fee-leep Gai-mon? Garmin, o Gai-mon? Ah, Gaimon de Garmin. Claro. Gracias.
As an American journalist, and as the chief editor of the magazine and website that Gaimon has contributed to since 2009, it was as if the script had flipped. I could picture myself at a U.S. stage race like the Amgen Tour of California or USA Pro Challenge, in the moments after an unknown-to-me South American climber has won a stage or taken a KOM jersey, with Colombian journalist Luis Barbosa correcting my pronunciation of his name.
Yes, the international press corps could be forgiven for not knowing Gaimon’s name.
It was, after all, his first day of racing for Garmin-Sharp — his first day racing for a UCI ProTeam after a five-year pro career spent racing for Continental teams like Bissell, Kenda, and Jelly Belly.
Though it will change next month, Gaimon has never raced his bike in Europe. And because the UCI only considers ProTeam and Pro Continental squads as “professional,” Gaimon is, technically, a neo-pro this year with Garmin.
“I certainly didn’t expect this,” Gaimon said at the finish, swarmed by cameras, microphones, and smartphones. “I don’t think anyone in the world would have expected this.”
Monday’s solo victory, in the town of Villa Mercedes, was the culmination of an unconventional path Gaimon has traveled to show his abilities on the global stage.
Gaimon, who turns 28 a few days after the Tour de San Luís ends, came to cycling relatively late. As explained to VeloNews contributor Dan Wuori back in June, when he announced that he’d signed with Garmin, Gaimon’s road to the European peloton took an unorthodox path. He began racing as a freshman at the University of Florida, foregoing the support enjoyed by the nation’s top young riders.
“I guess most guys who make it to the WorldTour start in the 14- to 16-year-old range. In the U.S., if you’re one of the top guys at that age, you end up on the junior national team and they take you over to Europe to live and race in Belgium,” Gaimon said. “But I missed the boat on all of that. I didn’t start racing until college, when I was 19. I never got invited to do the U23 development stuff, and I didn’t pursue it too hard because I was in college and my parents would have murdered me. So I didn’t even attempt it.”
Instead, Gaimon waited until graduation to pursue pro cycling, signing his first contract for $166 a month. His meager earnings on the domestic road circuit required Gaimon’s effort both on and off the bike.
“A lot of my time had to be spent hustling and trying to survive in a way that I really couldn’t focus 100 percent on bike racing,” Gaimon told VeloNews. To make ends meet, he took the odd coaching job and worked to maintain his own small business.
“[In 2012] I had a good season, but even then I was balancing a couple of other jobs just trying to get by.”
Gaimon’s first big win came at the Redlands Cycling Classic in 2012, and in many ways, 2013 was his breakthrough season. After a winter spent training in Tucson, Arizona, where he spent a fair amount of time riding with Garmin’s Tom Danielson, Gaimon looked to be the strongest stage racer in America, winning the overall at the early-season Merco Cycling Classic. He then won the opening time trial to take the race lead at San Dimas Stage Race; however, a horrific crash saw him airlifted from course. He still has no memories of the incident.
He returned and finished as runner-up at the Tour of the Gila, and after abandoning the Amgen Tour of California with a stomach bug, Gaimon lit up the U.S. professional road championships in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with a solo move in the final 25km that was only brought back inside the final kilometer.
Soon after, he announced he’d signed with Garmin manager Jonathan Vaughters — one of 11 new riders to join the team for 2014.
In an extensive interview with Daniel McMahon in June, Gaimon explained how, and why, it wasn’t until he was 27 that he’d signed with a WorldTour-level team.
“I think I was at the threshold where I was getting too old for someone to take the risk,” Gaimon said. “The riders European teams are looking at in terms of Americans are the 18- to 22-year-olds they can foster, the Nate Brown types. I missed the boat on all that. I was in college and just learning to race a bike at that point. I had to prove that I was capable of something much harder than the racing here in the States. And I think I am better suited to European racing than I am to the American stuff. I’m more comfortable at the Tour of California than I am at the Tour of the Gila. I find myself at the front more often when it’s harder. There aren’t a lot of races [in the U.S.] with 45-minute climbs that sort things out.”
One question folks were asking at the finish line in Villa Mercedes is “where is he from?” And the truth is, Gaimon is kind of from all over. He was born in Columbus, Ohio; lived in Atlanta, Georgia, through high school, went to college in Gainesville, Florida; lived in Athens, Georgia, after college; and is currently living in Los Angeles. His parents are both professors at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, which he considers home, though he said he’s “bounced around a lot,” and for the time being, plans to stay based in L.A.
Gaimon writes a print column for Velo magazine, titled Ask a Pro, where he fields questions from readers, always in his trademark dry, sometimes-juvenile tone. Yet he is also very much a man of principle. On his bicep, he sports a “CLEAN” tattoo, the word imprinted into a foaming bar of soap. He wears his pride in racing clean quiet literally, on his skin.
“When I started racing [in college] I set this goal that I wanted to be a pro cyclist and race at the highest level and, of course, do it clean,” Gaimon told VeloNews in June. “Looking back at what we’ve learned [about that era in cycling], I recognize it was an almost impossible dream. But since then things have moved in a direction — thanks largely to Vaughters and Garmin — that makes [the dream of riding clean at the sport’s top level] possible. So who better to do it with than the team that made it so?”
He’s also working on a book for VeloNews’ sister company, VeloPress, on the trials and tribulations of living on a low-budget salary, titled Road Rash and Ramen Noodles. His VeloPress bio claims that he is “a writer and entrepreneur who retired from laziness and computer games in 2004 in favor of riding a bike to lose weight.”
On Sunday night, Gaimon attended the high-glitz Tour de San Luís team presentation, and was clearly a bit overwhelmed by the flashing lights and large crowd that gathered. From the side of the stage, he tweeted a photo of fireworks over the crowd, with the caption, “This is going to be a cool year.” He couldn’t have known how prescient that tweet would be.
On Monday afternoon, during a sweltering four hours riding in near 100-degree temperatures, Gaimon went into the day’s early break, and rode it all the way to the finish, crossing the line alone to take the stage win and race lead.
The win didn’t come without a touch of controversy. With 20 kilometers remaining, four men in the winning breakaway, and a chase group coming from behind, Gaimon momentarily followed a pair of errant race motos off course. His action caused two others in the break, Marc de Maar (UnitedHealthcare) and Leandro Messineo (San Luis Somos Todos), to crash. Gaimon, and the other man left in the breakaway, Emiliano Contreras (Argentina), soldiered on.
Was it intentional, or in any way malicious? Absolutely not. De Maar said as much himself, and Gaimon was quick to apologize at the finish line.
In hindsight, might Gaimon have waited, to allow the victims of the mishap to regain contact? There’s no rule that says he should have, but pro cycling is filled with unwritten rules of conduct. What’s clear is that it was a long, hot day, and, in Gaimon’s words, he was “cross-eyed” during the finale.
As it is, heading into stage 2 — which features a summit finish — Gaimon holds a 1:17 lead over de Maar, and a 4:35 lead over the rest of the field. He could well hold his race lead all the way through Sunday’s final stage.
Now that would be a hell of a way to kick off a pro career.

One central point came over loud and clear from George Osborne’s Autumn Statement, the response from Ed Balls, and the reaction from the back benches.
Not one of our front line politicians has any real understanding of the deadly seriousness of the situation faced by the British economy, or the way the world changed after the economic crash of 2008.
To be fair, Mr Osborne did have some reason to be cheerful. There does appear to be some evidence that the economy has at last emerged from recession. The Office for Budget Responsibility has raised its forecasts for growth and very slightly reduced its projections for the budget deficit.

Occasionally we should give thanks for the European Union. One of these occasions concerns David Cameron’s increasingly sordid and humiliating journey around China, which mercifully ends tomorrow.
Yesterday the Prime Minister announced that Britain would be China’s greatest advocate as he called for a free-trade pact between the European Union and Europe.
Mr Cameron failed to mention the drawbacks: China’s naked protectionism; the constant theft of international patents by Chinese companies; the manipulation of the renminbi to favour Chinese exporters and keep out importers; the abuse of the rule of law to destroy successful foreign businesses; the unconditional Chinese support for some of the world’s most loathsome dictatorships; the destruction of Tibet; contempt for human rights; the absence of free speech; the oppression of large sections of the population.
Luckily the EU was on hand to pour cold water on the British Prime Minister. Brussels spokesman… Read More
If John Bercow’s performance as Commons Speaker was being marked by an old-fashioned Oxbridge don, he would be awarded Alpha/Gamma.
Following my blog post last week on Nick Pollard’s flawed report into the Jimmy Savile scandal, Mr Pollard’s lawyer has sent me a statement.*
This statement challenges my assertion that Helen Boaden’s evidence was suppressed. It insists that, on the contrary, her evidence was given "full and proper consideration."
This is fascinating and very significant. If we are to take this statement at its word, there is only one logical conclusion to be drawn.
This is that Mr Pollard, having considered Helen Boaden’s letter carefully, concluded that her evidence was rubbish, and there was no reason to believe her assertion that she told Mark Thompson the nature of the allegations against Savile.
The decision to ignore this part of Helen Boaden’s testimony, which was made through a (publicly-funded) lawyer, can mean one of only two things. Either Mr Pollard thinks that… Read More
In essence, there are two components to the deal struck between Iran and America in the early hours of Sunday morning in Geneva.
On the one hand the US has tacitly acknowledged the Iranian right to enrich uranium. In return the Iranians have allowed the IAEA virtually unlimited access, thus ensuring that no nuclear material can be diverted for military purposes.
It is a development that should be welcomed by all sensible people…. Read More
The hallmarks of Chris Patten’s chairmanship of the BBC Trust have been a lack of grip and repeated evasion of responsibility. The grotesque pay-offs made to executives; the incompetence of management; the mishandling of the Jimmy Savile scandal: none of this apparently has anything to do with Lord Patten.
Now the BBC chairman has been given yet another chance to do the right thing. The Tory MP Robert Wilson has this week sent him the tape of an astonishing conversation between Nick Pollard (who led the Pollard Review into the axing of the Newsnight investigation into Savile) and a third party, an unnamed journalist.
• Post-monetarist Fed is sleepwalking into a trap
• The Tories are patronising voters
• When is it OK to swear in front of your kids?

James Forsyth has written an admirable article in this week’s Spectator in which he exposes how John Bercow has degraded the office of Speaker through favouritism and blatant partiality.
I would like to suggest one further way in which Mr Bercow has betrayed his duty to parliament. This is the abuse of the Chairman’s Panel of the House of Commons. As originally conceived the Chairman’s Panel was a small group of roughly a dozen senior parliamentarians, who helped out the Speaker through chairing committees and giving advice.

Amid the celebrations of Sachin Tendulkar’s sublime career, I have seen it written time and again that the little master’s achievement can never be repeated.
I disagree. There is one serious candidate who can surpass Tendulkar. Alastair Cook, the England cricket captain, already has 97 Test matches under his belt, in the course of which he has scored 7,801 runs at an average of 47.85, including 25 centuries.
• Paul Sykes’s return to the Ukip fold is game-changing
• Guns for sale on Libya’s answer to Oxford Street
• Pope Francis, the poster boy for today’s Catholics
Cook plays on average a dozen Tests a year. At the rate he is going, he needs only another eight or at most nine years at the top to surpass Tendulkar’s 200 Tests.

Ed Miliband has been determined to act as a wrecker for the Commonwealth Conference in Columbo. At the last moment he demanded that David Cameron should boycott the event, thus leaving Prince Charles to attend without his prime minister.
There are two problems with the Miliband position. The first is that Gordon Brown backed Sri Lanka as host four years ago – and Labour in opposition did not raise any objections, either, when the location was reconfirmed two years later.

Today the Electoral Reform Society publishes a highly impressive paper making the case for proportional representation in local government elections. Greatly to my own surprise I find myself convinced by its argument that without PR the Tories will probably vanish from northern England, just as they already have from much of Scotland. I publish below an abbreviated version of my introduction to the pamphlet:
The Conservative Party is dogmatically opposed to proportional representation, claiming that PR, because it will almost always favour coalitions, creates the circumstances for weak and divisive leadership. This argument has real strength. For example, the Thatcher government never enjoyed an outright majority of the popular vote. Yet she could always rely on a parliamentary majority, and it was this majority that allowed her to use robust measures to tackle the over-mighty unions and economic collapse… Read More

Wonderful hotel, great service and excellent restaurant. Our experience in our first week in Sri Lanka is that some hotels serve buffet style meals and they are often only luke warm or even cold, here the food is warmer (not always piping hot but there is also the possibility to get some things freshly cooked) and all served in a large, open restaurant. The rooms are small houses and superb. We have a bedroom with separate spacious sitting area and excellent bathroom with bath and shower separately. Due to activities and heavy rain yesterday, we have not been in the swimming pool but it looks excellent - huge and clean.

Great day. First we navigated (almost literally) our way across a small path intended for cyclists, motorbikes and tuk tuks due to the road intended for cars looking seriously dangerous – this was next to a large lake and lower than the wall of the lake, which was seriously flooding over and across the road to carry on over …
Today saw us embark on a long journey to Dambulla. A taxi picked us up at around 10am and we drove for an hour or so before stopping at a traditional Sri Lankan buffet for some rather spicy breakfast - beans, chick peas, fish etc. it was delicious and super cheap. We also got a coffee that was the sweetest thing I've tasted for a while, a really …

I have been teaching at Apalachee High School for 19 years. I am so excited to grow the Food and Nutrition pathway. We will be working in the school garden and with local food producers to deepen our knowledge of where food comes from and how we can make healthy choices for ourselves and family. I recently spoke on behalf of GACTE conference to FACS teachers in the state about incorporating the school garden in the curriculum. When I'm not teaching, my husband and four kids can be found on our micro-farm in Barrow County.

Authorities in Iceland have evacuated areas surrounding the country’s largest glacier amid worries that Bardarbunga, a sub-glacial volcano there, will soon erupt.
Around 3,000 small earthquakes have been detected since Aug. 16, and unusual seismic activity continued into Wednesday. Iceland’s civil protection agency said a volcanic eruption “cannot be ruled out,” and evacuated about 300 people, most of them tourists.
The Bardarbunga volcanic system is the largest in Iceland, and is located more than 190 miles from the capital of Reykjavik.
In 2010, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in Iceland, causing more than 100,000 flights to be cancelled, and costing commercial airlines an estimated $1.7 billion in revenue loss. Although officials do not anticipate the effects of this volcano to be that severe, they said it may disrupt flights.


Rain is expected to finish up Friday morning in the mountains and far northeast plains, making way for a sunny Saturday and a stormy Sunday.
The high in Denver is expected to hit 56 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Boulder. The wind should build up over the afternoon in the Denver metro area, starting with gusts in the teens and increasing to 28 mph by the afternoon. Gusts could eventually reach 40 mph, the weather service said.
Over the mountains, gusty northwest winds will pick up during the morning with the potential of reaching up to 55 mph. The winds should taper off by evening, forecasters predicted.
Snow showers mixed with rain should gradually wrap up across the northeast plains. Up to 2 inches of snow may fall across the plains, mostly across Washington and western Logan counties, the weather service said.
The start of the weekend looks optimal for some time outdoors with bluebird skies expected and a high of 66 degrees on Saturday, but a brewing storm is expected to make its way across the region on Sunday afternoon. Mountain snow is predicted along with alternating rain and snow showers falling across the plains of northeast Colorado Sunday night.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Love & Hip Hop New York season 3 premiered last night (Jan. 7) on VH1. Rapper Joe Budden and his ex-girlfriend model Tahiry José sat down with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club (separately) to talk about their tumultuous relationship.
In case you need a quick catch-up, Tahiry rose to fame on the internet from home videos Joe Budden posted on Joe Budden TV. Her feisty attitude and killer curves set the internet on fire after each webisode. After their messy breakup, Tahiry and Joe went their separate ways, going on to date other people. Now, every Monday night, the world has front row seats to watch the former couple try to rekindle their friendship. And already on the popular reality TV show, Tahiry has nearly flipped a table over on Joe after he proposed the two make an effort to be friends again.
Power 105’s resident femme Angela Yee asked Tahiry the question on everyone’s mind, if she would ever get back with her famous ex. “I could never get back with Joe,” she responded. “I don’t believe Joe can change.”
Joe Budden is currently dating dancer/model Kaylin Garcia, and according to Tahiry, she was unaware her famous ex even had a new girlfriend. Yee asked Budden if his new girlfriend was jealous. He said, “Nah, my baby is cool as a fan.”
