NO RESPITE

At one fell swoop, the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society is set to close four superb centres that give more than 1,300 people a year an enjoyable break and their carers a little time off. The society says a consultation revealed that people with MS wanted more "holiday-style" breaks.

THE NEW BOYS AND GIRLS

Everything comes to those who wait; it may just come a little quicker to friends of Peter Mandelson. A father in the House of Lords helps, too. But to be fair to Tristram Hunt Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central: his journey to Westminster hasn’t been all plain sailing.

DIAMOND IN THE GUFF

Was there ever a more depressing example of PR guff than the disingenuous and self-serving bollocks spouted by Neil Wallis over Naomi Campbell’s appearance at the UN war crimes tribunal last week? His employers the Outside Organisation were hired to orchestrate media coverage of the supermodel’s evidence at The Hague.
