Contrary to what some are saying , I've not been eaten by David Cameron. I've just been unforgivably lazy for the past month, and not done any blogging. (I've also done a couple of weeks of legal placements, dashed off to conference for a few days, then started my law conversion course, but none of that's an excuse.) Normal service resumes as of now, anyway. If my textbook on tort law doesn't send...
Six months ago this morning, tens of thousands of passengers discovered what they had been assured would be "far and away the best airport experience in the whole of Europe" was, in fact, possibly the most expensive shambles in the world.

As the the low-cost airline industry plunges into its gloomiest-ever winter, the quest for "ancillaries" is intensifying. Average air fares in Europe are set to fall even further during the next few months. With airlines making a loss on the tickets, they are ever more desperate to find other revenue streams. Ryanair's experiment may earn it useful commission – but in-flight phone calls could cost...

Stranded: a word that, over the past week, has acquired some interesting new meanings. Because I am presently stranded at my desk, unable to reach a real dictionary without getting out of my chair, let me see what my word processor offers: "aground, ashore, beached, grounded, marooned, wrecked". Yet, since the collapse eight days ago of the XL Leisure Group, certain sections of the media have used...
A column from today's Liberal Democrat News. Turbulent times There are two certainties about the Liberal Democrat Conference. The first is that the weather will be good. In fact, if I weren't a Lib Dem I would always choose mid September for my holidays. It's just that, because of the second certainty, your house might not be there when you got back. Because you can also be sure the British economy...
