This makes the following from Parliament from Balls quite funny, because, whilst discussing GCSE questions he said the following, The third question comes from...

By David Boothroyd Liberal Democrat hacks have been knocking 'Against the Odds', claiming credit for the NHS belongs to Sir William Beveridge. The truth is that Beveridge had a minor role which was over before he even joined the Liberals. Before the NHS, workers who paid National Insurance had family doctor consultations paid for, but people not in work had to pay their own way. By the end of the...

Hockey India (HI) president Ashok Kumar Mattoo's assertion in Pune that Rajpal Singh was not the choice of selectors for captaincy is factually correct -- but an HI release clearly mentioned the striker as captain for the Champions Challenge tournament in Argentina.

By Matthew Zarb-Cousin Last week a horrendous knife murder took place on the same road I live on. As of yet, the motives of the killer are unknown, and the police are investigating the incident. Without hypothesising, or getting caught up in the hysteria of such a shocking incident, it is difficult to rule out the possibility of the person - or people - who are responsible, reoffending before they...

Baroness Who? If the EU really wanted to downplay the creation of a new President and Foreign Secretary it couldn’t have done much better than give the top job to a Belgian and the other to an obscure Baroness from Britain.

I just wanted to wish Boris congratulations on his victory for Mayor of London. I hope he can turn his energy and excitement into something really positive as far as London is concerned. After years of near hatred, I have to say that I was also a little sad to see Ken Livingstone go (but not a lot). He actually seemed to take it quite well. I had visions of him attacking Gordon Brown, the labour party...
