Rachel Reeves: We will win battle to bring budget into balance
COMPARED to the issues that fire us up as politicians and campaigners, like reducing poverty and expanding economic opportunities, deficit reduction is perhaps a dry subject.
Bernard Ingham: Coalition is stopping Cameron from being his own man
YOU may think I am going off my rocker – assuming you had not already reached that conclusion – but I really do worry about our political leaders.
John Meehan: A new Klondike on the Humber may be blowing in the wind
So says one of them, the West Hull and Hessle MP Alan Johnson, as he puts into perspective how significant the burgeoning renewables sector will be for a city which has lacked a core industry since its fishing fleet was decommissioned after the 1970s Cod Wars.
Tim Jones: When a question of faith becomes a matter of judgement
ANNOYINGLY, of course, at one level Richard Dawkins is quite correct. Few of us who are people of faith throw ourselves into “faith activity” as wholeheartedly as we would like to, and most of us are already well aware that our knowledge of the official “facts” of faith is less than maybe it ought to be.
Ian McMillan: A song of praise for our places in the heart
WE all learn our Yorkshire geography in different ways. When I was young I thought Sheffield was a very long distance from Barnsley because my dad set off to his office job in the Steel City at 20 to eight in the morning and didn’t get home until half past six, and I knew from reading Look and Learn that you could travel to Moscow and back in that time.
Our view
The offenders shielded by law
WHAT is the purpose of data-protection regulations? To protect people’s privacy, naturally, but in this aim, surely the key word is “protection”. And there was precious little of that on offer for Clare Wood when she was murdered by her former boyfriend after months of harassment and assaults. Yet, even though police had known of his record of violence, the law prevented them from telling her.
On the up
RELEGATION to the Second Division of the County Championship was an unexpected and unwanted detour on the long road back to recovery for Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
Closed doors
THE planned shake-up of the health service is an object lesson in how not to implement a major policy.
The spendthrift police force
IT may be that, in spending more than £23,000 of public money on trips abroad, the Chief Constable of Cleveland and his fellow officials were acting entirely within regulations.
Back to school
IT is difficult to say whether it will be head teachers or travel agents who will be more pleased by the report that the Government is to ban term-time school holidays.
