After hearing PMQs, and after hearing the Downing Street hint that the inquiry might be strung out for a while (see 11.47am), I think Fox's survival chances are looking a bit stronger than they were looking this morning.UPDATE at 2.06pm: I was wrong when I said that there was "no evidence that SSE decided to act just because of what they heard Miliband say at Liverpool". A colleague has just pointed me to David Blair's article in the Financial Times (subscription). Here's the key extract.Ed Miliband's speech to the Labour party conference last month cast more than the familiar array of thunderbolts at the "big six" utilities. Instead of sticking to routine condemnation of bill increases, he pledged to abolish a "rigged market" that had allowed them to achieve "dominance".
"And Fraser Nelson at Coffee House is interested in the way Balls is offering a partial apology.Read between the lines of Balls' speech today, and you can see a man backtracking – and trying to hold on to his job. Even when Balls tells porkies, he does so with imagination and élan.10.28am: I arrived at the conference centre well before 8am, which meant that I didn't have to queue to get through security, but delegates and journalists who tried to get in later have had to wait for ages. One colleague told me he thought some people had been queuing for up to an hour. It seems there aren't enough security scanners. Sky's Jon Craig has put a post on Twitter suggesting it might be time to resurrect a famous old poster.
There are so many wonderful contemporary versions. One of my recent favorites is “The Lost Books of the Odyssey” by Zachary Mason, a series of playful, thought-provoking and beautiful alternate versions of Odysseus stories. I also enjoyed “The Penelopiad” by Margaret Atwood (one of my favorite authors of all time). And, really, the entire Canongate Myth series. For a truly bold adaptation, I would recommend Mark Merlis’ “Pyrrhus” (also called “An Arrow’s Flight”), which is inspired by Sophocles’ tragedy “Philoctetes,” among other things. And there's "Ransom" by David Malouf, which focuses on the Achilles/Priam episode from the Iliad. I'll stop there, but could go on! Guardian contributor MadelineMiller 30 August 2013 1:18pm Gah! How could I have forgotten Alice Oswald's long poem "Memorial"? Saw her recite it from memory at the Hay Festival and was blown away.
Economists have warned the third quarter was flattered as the economy played catch-up from the previous three months, which was hit by the extra bank holiday from the royal wedding and impact of the Japanese tsunami, so the overall picture of the year has been left broadly unchanged by the revisions. Chris Williamson, chief economist at financial services information company Markit, said: "The underlying trend is very clearly one of an economy that is struggling in the face of what seems to be an ever-growing list of headwinds."Manufacturing, services and trade surveys have been mixed so far in the final quarter of the year, prompting fears that the UK is heading for a double-dip recession.
But we are also going to have to draft what we do to avoid all the undoubted dangers in Australia which caused David Norgrove and his colleagues to be hesitant. 9.58am: Thurrock is going to get a referendum on whether or not there should be a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union. Last month the People's Pledge,marc by marc jacobs tote (http://www.ytcgzx.net/), the group campaigning for an in/out poll, announced that they would be having postal ballots in individual constituencies and today they've revealed that they are going to start in Thurrock, on Thursday 5 April. Every adult in the constituency will get a ballot paper through the post. It's just a vote on whether or not there should be a referendum and,kate spade wallet sale (http://www.cnnhkids.com/), since people tend to answer yes to questions like that and since no one is likely to campaign against, the result it easy to predict.
They are, after all, public roads. What about the home, you ask? Well, that falls on grounds of practicality – hard to enforce – and of intrusion. John Reid's mum's home is her castle.But I hesitate to say that adult drivers who want to smoke in their own car, knowing the risks but not harming anyone but themselves, should be stopped from doing so. It's what philosophers might call a "self-regarding action", yes? The NHS may face an eventual bill for the folly, but it picks up all kinds of bills for folly.Individual liberty and freedom to make mistakes are always human principles worth drawing a line for. I draw it here (I think).David Starkey is half right about 'monocultural' BritainDo we know exactly what Chelsea and England's John Terry said to QPR's Anton Ferdinand during the two clubs' match on 23 October? I certainly don't, though it is suggested by some that it was both offensive and racially tinged, something Terry denies.
Moreover, time has shown that the existing democratic and legal processes worked in removing the MPs who were shown to have been guilty of serious wrongdoing during the expenses scandal ...We recommend that the government abandon its plans to introduce a power of recall and use the parliamentary time this would free up to better effect. If the government were to follow this advice, MPs would, of course, have more time to debate Lords reform ...

We've now had Boris Johnson and Ed Miliband saying "call in the cops". They've beaten George Osborne by at least two hours,cnnhkids.com (http://www.cnnhkids.com/), because he won't be giving his response until he addresses the Commons at around 12.
