Angus MacDonald has been chosen as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Ross, Skye and Lochaber. This is the seat represented between 1983 and 2010 by Charles Kennedy, and currently held by Ian Blackfordm who recently stood down as the SNP's leader at Westminster. Angus MacDonald told the Ross-shire Journal that his decision to stand stems from a deep sense of frustration at the lack of infrastructure in the Highlands and the centralised system of government: "We get absolutely nothing up here, compared to the central belt where they have had trams, roads and countless infrastructure projects. "Whereas up here all ...
Last summer I found some cuttings from TV Times about the dramatisation of T.H. White's children's book The Master that Southern Television broadcast in 1966. Now I've found a page about the series on Nostalgia Central. This describes The Master as "Southern TV's most prestigious children's drama of the 1960s - perhaps ever" and reports that: Southern had so much confidence in the series that they invested a huge £6,000 pounds per episode and introduced it with a full-colour feature in the TV Times. It paid off, and proved a pivotal moment in children's television, mixing elements of standard adventure ...
It seems to be a sign of a prime minister's prowess that new departments are created or existing departments are reshaped during their tenure. All politicians want to leave their mark but there is always a parallel agenda. Promoting loyal supporters and getting rid of those causing trouble, and of course, those who have found to have broken the rules. The need to replace the ambitious Nadhim Zahawi came after he was sacked as Chair of the Conservative Party and Minister without Portfolio for breaching the ministerial code. All that Rishi Sunak needed to do was to appoint a new ...

There is nothing more controversial than housing policy. At least that is what should be the case, and yet the only time politicians appear to stir on the issue is when a community is up in arms about a plan to build more houses in an area they believe should be sacrosanct. The fact remains that good quality housing is the key to good health, educational achievement and mental well-being. People who are without housing for one reason or another, or who live in poor quality homes, have shorter life expectancy, their children's education suffers and they are prone to ...
Writing The House, Wendy Chamberlain said must listen to the voices of Afghan women and girls when making decisions about them. There is no question that the United Kingdom has let down the people of Afghanistan. And there is no question that we have let down - and continue to let down - Afghan women and girls. Those involved in foreign, defence and development policy relating to Afghanistan may well have had good intentions... but well documented errors were also made. Errors which led to the swift return of the Taliban following the withdrawal of external troops. Errors which have ...
