The logic works out like this: 1) End of triple lock: you might be a couple hundred quid a year worse off. Maybe. 2) National care service: you won't have to sell the house, the car, and go through pretty much all your savings if you need looking after in your old age.

“The decision was announced a week after the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said the U.S. had declined to invite its members to observe November’s congressional midterm elections, a sharp break from past practice.”

A personal view, borne from investigating illegal betting networks, is that one of the best ways to fight financial crime is to criminalise the enablers; the lawyers, accountants and trust managers who are perfectly aware of the criminal nature of their clients' activities but choose to look away.

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

Taylor's annoucement that the suspects would be released on bail with no further explanation was somewhat jarring in light of President Trump's comments to reporters on Sunday. An exuberant Trump said the suspects had intended to do "big damage" to the air base and praised the British police, describing their efforts as "fantastic" and
"amazing." He added: "We had them under view for a long time and we got them." Now the five men are going to be freed on bail, but with stringent conditions on their movement and contact with
others.

CP Senior National Coordinator, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans Evans also addresses possible motives behind yesterday's incident, saying that officers investigating it should be given the space to "work carefully and clearly".
"I am very aware of the levels of speculation about the motivation behind this incident, and the geopolitical questions that are being raised," she says.
"However, I ask that at this time, Counter Terrorism Policing are given the space to work carefully and clearly."
