https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/201 ... in-britain‘I can’t eat or sleep’: the woman threatened with deportation after 50 years in Britain
Paulette Wilson moved to the UK in 1968, and worked and raised her daughter here. So why was she suddenly taken to Yarl’s Wood detention centre and almost forced on to a plane to Jamaica?

https://www.theguardian.com/society/201 ... row-unionsHunt 'risking repeat of junior doctors' row' with plan to change NHS pay
The government has triggered a row with NHS staff by unveiling plans to overhaul their pay, including how much they receive for working antisocial shifts.
Health unions have warned Jeremy Hunt that he is risking a repeat of the acrimonious junior doctors’ dispute by seeking to reduce the extra amounts staff get for weekend and overnight working.
The health secretary has also aroused anger by making it clear that he wants to change increments – extra cash staff receive that helps increase their take-home pay.
Unions voiced their opposition after Hunt disclosed his intentions in an interview with the Health Service Journal, saying he wanted to change the way more than 1 million NHS personnel in England are paid by introducing a “more professional pay structure”. (Guardian)

Sara Gorton, the head of health at the Unison union, said: “If the government is expecting staff to pay for their own wage rise, it’ll be a very short set of talks indeed.”

New to me, too. Learn something new every day. Or once a week, at least.HindleA wrote:Jaffle a new word for me,so I looked it up,suffice to say there were different definitions.
eew.In the USA they are called pie irons, pudgy pie irons or “tonka toasters”. ...
Oh, I see....The Breville Snack & Sandwich Maker became a huge success in Australia and in Britain, to the point where, in many places, a jaffle is actually called a “Breville”.

In essence:
1. Davis has to attend Brexit committee "very soon".
2. Bercow will then consider any new notices requesting a contempt motion.
3. Bercow rules disclosure motion is "binding".
4. Looks like government may attempt new, amended binding motion re papers.
