Why Blair can never admit to regrets

If only PD James had been on the Chilcot committee. After six hours of watching Tony Blair effortlessly deflect and disarm his interrogators at the Queen Elizabeth II centre on Friday, how could one not be struck by the contrast with the courteous evisceration that James recently performed on the BBC’s director-general?

The real north-south divide crippling Britain

Should your salary be the same if you move from Scunthorpe to Southampton? Should the rate for a job be identical in Newcastle, Newquay and Newark? For at least 5m people it is because they work for public employers with national bargaining arrangements and uniform pay scales.

Out of the closet: our growing acceptance of gays

The British Social Attitudes survey — which asks people about their views on politics and social matters such as crime, drugs and relationships — makes fascinating reading. Articles with lots of percentages in them are always a bit of a turn-off, I find, but do persevere because the numbers are really interesting, for once

The tormented eel is slithering out of existence

It is strange to think of something slimy, snake-like and nocturnal as reassuring, but it seems as if we are beginning at last to value the extraordinary eel just as it may be about to disappear. Over the past three decades the many unsolved mysteries about the eel’s unique life-cycle have been joined by one more: why has it declined to the extent that it is now classed globally as a critically endangered fish

OT Lesson 5 Study Notes: Moses 5-7

As always, remember that these are questions for studying the reading assigned more than for planning the lesson itself. Even then, you are certainly going to find more questions here than you can deal with in one study session, though not, perhaps, more than you can deal with in a week. However, that said, the lesson itself has turned out to be more than I could deal with in a week

Anna Nicole Smith’s Lost Treasure

Jewelry tales of the rich and famous never cease to amaze me – from the extravagant acquisitions of New York’s tony billionaires (Brooke Astor, et al) to celebrity jewelry boxes full of baubles worth more than our mortgages. The latest entry in the latter category concerns the late Anna Nicole Smith, whose financial woes were well-reported following the death of her gazillionaire ‘husband’ back in the 90s.

The Dirt on Laundry: We’re Doing It All Wrong

Getty Images Do you make common laundry mistakes? We’ve previously discussed the challenges of fitting laundry into the juggle (a topic regularly requested by our readers.)

Start a weekend morning with a breakfast special

Paying attention to breakfast this week, here is a recipe for pancakes that might make a weekend morning a little more special.

See by Chloe Bags: Ring Around Shoulder and Grasshopper Bag

As far as the brand See by Chloe goes, I wouldn’t call myself a fan. I refer to their accessories line in which most portray nothing more than unflattering looks and designs. I spotted these two newbie’s to the See by Chloe collection, and I’m quite impressed at how much I don’t dislike these bags, they’re actually decent… The puddly “Ring Around Shoulder Bag” looks as functional as it appears fun
