Yaniv Mor, 30-year-old father of a one-month-old baby girl, and a settler was blunt: "We don't care about Washington. Nothing will come out of it, like always. This is a war of religions – we want everything, they want everything. There is no way there will ever be agreement. That is the reality."

What an absolute treat. It is hard to imagine how a radio programme could ever be better. Bill Kenwright interviewed Priscilla Presley about her life with Elvis, and looked back at his career and music. Bill made the interesting point that following Elvis from Britain in the 1960s was difficult because he received very little radio

I was reminded recently of Winston Churchill who once disparagingly described the Labour Prime Minster Clement Attlee, voted as the most ever successful leader of our party as: "A modest man, but then he has so much to be modest about". I was also reminded of Michael Foot was at the time the best orator in the party and unequalled at the dispatch box. Forgot in the events of 1983 is that Michael F...

That's how Bruce Anderson sums up Tony Blair's book in a caustic piece for the magazine. Here's the whole review for the benefit of CoffeeHousers: 'It is bizarre. As he often demonstrated in the House of Commons, Tony Blair knows how to use words. He could also have mobilised a team to help him write his memoirs. Instead, it is all his own work, and the words mutinied. This boo...

This, says William Hague, is "the straightforward truth", in one of the most extraordinary statements I have ever read from a senior politician. The foreign secretary admits sharing twin hotel rooms with the man he later appointed - at taxpayers' expense - as his special adviser. Today Christopher Myers resigned his position. Hague insists that "Any suggestion that his appointment was due to ...

THE largest ever study of Scottish students will reveal more than half cannot survive financially over the summer, sparking fears of a soaring drop-out rate this year.

Déjà vu all over again as Yogi Berra once said...when Israel maintains the checkpoints and claps down on the 'Palestinians' they have no terrorist attacks. When ever they make concessions and talk peace, the attacks commence and there are dead Israelis who pay the price. Two men and two women between the ages of 25 and 40 - one of them pregnant - were murdered in an ambush ...

Y’know, misrepresenting the motivations of your opponents might not be one of the worst characteristics of an ever-corroding political debate, but it is one of the more grating. Whilst I’m sure the liberalism Theo Hobson subscribes to at the Guardian is suitably right-on and resplendent in its idealism, it still pales when compared to the bold (and apparently naive) ideal of treating p...

New government statistics show that libraries are less popular than ever, with a drop over 5 years of nearly one-third in the number who visit them. Over 60 percent of adults do not use them even once a year. Libraries seem vulnerable. With government striving to make economies and councils made to cut budgets, libraries could see their spending cut dramatically. Libraries face a downward spiral i...

READERS? Give us a clue! Can you help this clueless MP think of reasons NOT to join the Liberal Democrats at the moment? He's a sensitive soul who can dish out criticism but cannot accept his lot ever make a wrong move! But let's all help him out.LoL site feed
