So, this is massive. Wang Lijun, the Chongqing police chief who was removed from his duties last week, has disappeared on "stress leave" after attempting to defect via the US consulate in Chengdu, where he reportedly tried to claim political...

President Obama has trumpeted the temporary payroll tax cut as his major victory for middle class Americans. Unfortunately, he isn't telling you about the massive screwing over homeowners are getting to pay for a few hundred dollars in savings. Hidden in the bill that the president signed that came down from the Senate is a provision that adds a minimum monthly fee of one tenth of one percent...

It has been one of the most pervasive dictums of the last 18 months - that massive cuts to public services will make this government unpopular and halt them in their tracks.

College students voted en masse for Barack Obama in 2008, drawn in by his smooth delivery and promises of change that the American public could believe in. For many the 2012 presidential election will be a different story as this new Debt Generation faces the massive growth of the US national...

A "massive power grab" by European bureaucrats would allow them to dictate laws and punishments in the UK, MPs warned yesterday.

The longer the row over the benefit cap goes on, the better it will be for the Tories. The cap chimes with the public’s sense of fairness. Polls show massive public support for capping benefits at £26,000 a year for non-working households (the cap won’t apply to the disabled or war widows), and if Labour oppose it, they’ll be handing the Tories a stick with which to beat the...

             Yesterday the Commons was asked to debate the massive Trans European Networks plans. As the super state lumbers on its way, they now set out grand plans to link the cities and states of the new EU empire by rail lines, roads, canals  and broadband networks.
