Gareth Bacon: ...speech, for Ministers to take decisions that contradict the advice of planning inspectors. John Prescott did so in 2005 when he approved the new stadium for Brighton and Hove Albion football club. Hazel Blears did so in 2008 when she approved a 43-storey tower block on London’s south bank. Nor is it unheard of for those decisions to be overturned by the High Court, as that decision by...

Tributes: Baroness Jowell (14 May 2018)
Caroline Flint: ...not a saint. There were a few off-the-record conversations and discussions that we had when she let rip with a few choice swear words.
