Mr Blair is unlikely to declare Cabinet’s hand when a White Paper on “stage two” will be published in the new year to avoid the charge of pre-empting the Royal Commission, which will be set up shortly. It should produce proposals within a year.Another by-product is that the second stage could happen much quicker than expected. Another third could be elected from among members of the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland assemblies to be set up next year, with the rest appointed from the ranks of the present 500 life peers.But cabinet sources insist no blueprint has been drawn up. He is convinced Mr Blair is vulnerable to the charge of wanting a second chamber full of “Tony’s cronies”. A cabinet committee chaired by Lord Irvine of Lairg, the Lord Chancellor, has discussed plans for a house in which only a third of the members were directly elected by the voters. “It seems Hague is going to make the same mistakes all over again,” said one prominent Tory “lifer”.
“He hasn’t consulted us at all, and we are getting very twitchy.”Mr Hague is unrepentant. Such a move would be opposed by many MPs, since a Lords with more democratic legitimacy would demand greater powers to amend legislation.Senior Tories are worried that Mr Hague is about to provoke a second toffs’ revolt as many Tory life peers would oppose an elected chamber, since they would be out of a job. Although Mr Hague’s aides insist the public admired the “strong leadership” he showed, many Tory MPs and peers believe the fiasco raised new doubts about whether he is the right man to lead the party into the next general election.Mr Hague’s embarrassment may be compounded in the new year, when the Cranborne plan will almost certainly be added to Labour’s Bill to scrap the hereditaries’ right to sit and vote in the Upper House.The Tory leader may seek to regain the initiative by outflanking Mr Blair over long-term reform and is believed to be warming to the idea of a fully elected second chamber. At the heart of the matter was Mr Hague’s desire for his troops to show “zero tolerance” of government legislation, and Lord Cranborne’s wish to call off trench warfare in return for saving some of the hereditaries. “Hague wanted us to die in the ditch, but most of us just wanted to lie down and pass away peacefully,” recalled one Tory hereditary. Viscount Cranborne, the hereditary peer and Tory leader in the Lords, was sensationally sacked by William Hague for secretly carrying on negotiations with Mr Blair about reprieving 91 of the 750 hereditaries until the Government implemented “stage two” of its Lords reforms.The row provoked an unprecedented split between the Tory Party leadership in the Commons and the party’s 470 peers, most of whom backed Lord Cranborne.
The Bill will go through in the new year but the rebellion played into Mr Blair’s hands by bolstering his case for removing the hereditaries.The second event was even more dramatic. Unfortunately, the joke was on the Tories for most of 1998 as Labour’s plans to demolish the rights of hereditary peers had a smoother passage than expected.
Cabinet ministers are convinced that the Tory-dominated hereditaries signed their own death warrants, helping Mr Blair to end 900 years of what he called “feudal domination”.Firstly, the Lords threw out on five occasions Labour’s plans for a proportional system at European Parliament elections. Now what?”
The card was intended to poke fun at Mr Blair’s reluctance to spell out his long-term reform plans for the second chamber. THE CHEEKY Christmas card from the Tory Opposition in the Lords shows a cartoon of Tony Blair next to a half-demolished Lords building A workman tells him: “So far so good, Prime Minister. Ordinary people seem to understand what their leaders do not: that some things are complicated and personal and, in the end, private.This was the year when the moralists tried to undo the Sixties – and failed So far.. Professor Robert Worcester of Mori says this has been a watershed year in which people showed that they can separate public politics from private lives.
International comparisons suggest that in literacy we are in the second division, well behind New Zealand and the United States, to mention just English-speaking examples. In setting up the Literacy Task Force, which will report on Thursday, David Blunkett anticipated this challenge. Its task has been to design a strategy which, if pursued over a five to ten year period, would ensure that all eleven-year-olds could not only read but read well. If we want our school and college leaving standards to match the best in the 21st century, we must first ensure that reading standards are transformed.
In the 1996 national tests, only 57 per cent of pupils achieved or exceeded the standard expected of eleven year olds.
This has profound implications for our national education system. Unless its standards match those of the best worldwide, our young people may find that in the global job market they fall far behind their peers from Singapore, New Zealand or Germany They will have been betrayed. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank recruits employees from over 50 different national education systems It is not alone. “Which may be why polls are not much in evidence these days.Because, far from being too simple for us, they are actually too sophisticated for most voters.If you agree, phone Yes If you disagree, phone the No line. This Malcolm Rifkind business is very serious, is it not?No, it’s not.Who cares if he is Jewish?Except those people who are already puzzled by his strangled Scottish accent.Except those people who miss Rabbi Hugo Gryn on Radio 4 very much and think of Malcolm Rifkind as a pretty poor Jewish replacement.8 Hmm … Well, what’s wrong with questions like that?Everything.They are the sort of questions which only politicians want to know the answers to.They are the sort of dumb-assed questions asked by interviewers on the Today programme.They don’t reflect the kind of questions the voter is asking.6. How do you mean, being asked the wrong questions?Well, the pollsters only ever ask questions like: If there were an election tomorrow, which party would you vote for?Or, which of the three party leaders do you rate most highly?Or, if John Major stepped down, who would you favour most as the next Tory leader?5.
It’s just that we are fed up being asked the wrong questions.4. The Lottery is all about forecasting things, and so are football pools and astrology, and so are all those programmes on BBC which show the build- up to Five Nations rugby internationals, although that might be a bit different, because international rugby is about the only sport that the BBC has still got hold of, so they have to milk it dry until everyone is bored silly, but the question remains: Although we still love speculation, have we actually got fed up with polls themselves?Yes.No.No, we haven’t. The public is always wasting its money phoning in to vote on matters they cannot possibly affect. The absence of polls is very curious, because the British have always loved indulging in speculation. All we have had so far is the rough findings of canvassers and a defiant shake of the white flag from “Dr” Brian Mawhinney But no polls. Why not, do you think?Because the polls got it so wrong at the last election that the papers don’t want to burn their fingers again.Because the polls got it right at the last election and then people changed their minds after reading the poll results and before voting, thus making it look as if the polls were wrong.Because Tory papers are sick of Blair being so far ahead all the time and would rather not even print the polls.Because the papers have finally tumbled to the fact that polls are not news and nobody gives a toss about them.3.

With pitching again the primary concern as Milwaukee prepares to begin spring training later this week, all eyes now focus on the starting rotation as GM Doug Melvin has prepared a solid bullpen to support any rotation the Brew-Crew are finally able to string together. If a Laker drives to the hoop, and an official forgets to blow the whistle, while the ball is going back up court, there will be the player turning to the official, arms raised out to the side, making the patented, “Don’t you know I’m a Laker?

Specifically, they need a right to appeal against decisions made by councils, backed up by the right to go to court. All the reasons why it is alleged that the Bramleys would not make good parents seem to stem from too much love for the children – however inappropriately expressed it may have appeared to some – when the real scandal of abused and neglected children stems from too little.Let us hope that the right lessons are drawn from this happy middle to the story, if not its happy ending. Jeff and Jennifer Bramley – and possibly the two children – were the victims of a grave, if unintended, injustice in that the legal system did not allow them to go to court to contest Cambridgeshire’s decision.
So it would be quite wrong now to penalise the Bramleys for abducting Jade and Hannah. She clearly thought it would, but reluctantly had to concede that it was in the best interests of the children that their four months on the run should end
Her concern is misplaced. The real lesson is that it should not have required the Bramleys to run away, or a huge media hue and cry, to force Cambridgeshire to do what it should have done in the first place, namely let the Bramleys have their day in court.
What about the real bias of a court made up of 12 men and no women?. LIZ RAILTON, the head of Cambridgeshire social services, was asked whether her concession to the Bramleys would not encourage other parents to think they could get their way by going into hiding. There needs to be a distinction made between the idea of bias – everyone ought to have biases – and that of a conflict of interest.Indeed, it is not for Lord Hoffmann to consider his position, but for Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, to consider his – not in the sense of resigning, but genuinely in the sense of using his position as a politician and head of the judiciary to reform our highest court.Instead of pointlessly telling the law lords that he did not want this sort of thing happening again, he should reconstitute them formally as a Supreme Court, with an open and fair system of appointment and clear rules about how they should operate, including a register of interests Never mind the alleged bias of Lords Hoffmann and Woolf. The problem arose only because in this case Amnesty was – unusually – allowed to give evidence to the House of Lords.The law lords have taken fright and gone too far if Lord Hoffmann was persuaded not to sit in the case of the Bristol doctor simply because it turns on allegations of bias – and much too far if Lord Woolf was persuaded not to sit in today’s Pinochet re-hearing simply because he has a reputation as a “liberal”. Nor can Lord Hoffmann be said to be prejudiced in favour of Amnesty International: last year he ignored its campaign to allow the execution of Trevor Fisher in the Bahamas, for whom the House of Lords was the final court of appeal. Are we to say that the only people qualified to serve are those discreet, boring or conservative enough never to have recorded a controversial opinion or affiliation in public? That would leave the law in the hands of the old elite who are members of gentlemen’s clubs, and whose prejudices are more easily dressed up as “non-political”.
The idea that Leonard Hoffmann should resign, therefore, is misplaced – and it should be noted that, despite reports of “pressure” on him to go, no one of any standing has in fact called for him to do so.
He made a mistake, but we should take care to understand the nature of the error. However, the mess in which they find themselves is rather bigger, wider and deeper than Lord Hoffmann’s failure to notice that he was a patron of one of the parties appearing before him. WITH ALL the British genius for making it up as we go along, we are approaching the situation where we have a Supreme Court in this country. Which has shone an array of arc lights on a small group of men who are more accustomed to working by candlelight, with rather unflattering results.
Today, the law lords reconvene to consider the case of Augusto Pinochet, wanted in Spain on charges of crimes against humanity – having made a mess of it the first time round.

THE HEADLINE on the Downing Street press notice declared: “Tony Blair leads war on cancer” – apparently oblivious to a disastrous war on the disease waged by another head of state in another country nearly 30 years ago. In 1971 President Richard Nixon launched the United States on a “war against cancer” with the aim of defeating the disease within a generation. That war involved spending hundreds of millions of dollars: cancer institutes were established, scientists hired and laboratories built.
Two decades after it was launched, cancer rates were still rising in the US and, with the exception of children’s cancers and one or two rarer types such as testicular cancer, little improvement had been achieved in survival rates.The failure of Nixon’s war to deliver the Holy Grail of a cure for cancer obscured the fact that most people were dying not because of a lack of scientific progress but because of a failure to apply what was already known – basic facts related to the value of chemo- therapy and radiotherapy. Critics compared the backers of Nixon’s vision to the First World War general who declared: “Casualties: huge Ground gained: negligible.
Conclusion: press on.”Tony Blair’s war is different – it is backed by nothing but warm words. The Prime Minister declared a new target of a one-fifth cut in the death rate among those under 75, which would save 60,000 lives over the next 10 years. But behind the scenes officials admitted there would be no extra money.The new targets are matched by no new funds, only a reiteration of old funds already committed, such as the pounds 60m pledged for breast, lung and bowel cancer services and pounds 150m from the National Lottery for new equipment.Britain’s record on cancer survival is worse than any other country in Europe. Six years ago, Professor Karol Sikora, chairman of the World Health Organisation programme of cancer control and the leader of yesterday’s Downing Street delegation of specialists, said in an interview: “Britain is consistently at the bottom of the table, which suggests that care here is not as good as in other countries.”Last month, British specialists said 25,000 lives a year could be saved if Britain’s record was raised to the average of its European neighbours, through specialist cancer care centres staffed by teams of experts supplied with better access to drugs and modern equipment. Professor Sikora estimated that an extra pounds 100m a year was necessary, plus a one-off investment of pounds 100m for improved facilitiesWriting in the Daily Mail yesterday, Mr Blair disclosed that his mother had died of throat cancer at the age of 52, just after he had left university, an event that had a “profound impact” on him.His wife, Cherie, a campaigner on breast cancer, had lost a beloved aunt to the disease.
“Britain’s treatment of cancer just isn’t good enough,” the Prime Minister said.However, it was not bad enough to warrant levering open the Treasury’s purse. Mr Blair apparently believes that improvements can be wrought by serving cancer doctors with tea and biscuits in Downing Street and releasing a couple of heart-tugging stories about the Blair family history.. THE WAY ministers appoint special advisers came under attack from an employment tribunal yesterday when it accused the Lord Chancellor of indirect sex discrimination against a woman lawyer. The written judgment given by Croydon employment tribunal confirmed that Lord Irvine of Lairg’s appointment of Garry Hart as his special adviser was in breach of sex and race discrimination laws.
Finding in favour of Jane Coker, a solicitor who had hoped to be appointed, the tribunal said Lord Irvine had also breached European law. Ms Coker said: “The Lord Chancellor must resign in light of today’s decision … the pounds 2.6m a year the Government spends on employing its mates must be repaid to the taxpayer.”Giving the full reasons behind its decision, announced earlier this year, the tribunal criticised the failure of Lord Irvine to look beyond his immediate circle of friends for someone to act as his special adviser. Just because it was accepted convention, dating back to before equal opportunity legislation, that such appointments were not subject to normal civil service recruitment rules, that did not justify unfair procedures.The 18-page written determination made clear that a “Minister should take account of the imbalance of gender or race in the circles in which he is minded to find someone for an appointment.
