Labour council tries to kick homeless people out of Bristol

"Homelessness is neither a disease nor a crime...but a very serious problem" - Timothy Pina View this email in your browser As homelessness has increased over the last few years, councils across the country have struggled to find a solution. Politics.co.uk has reported previously on the ways some have resorted to bans on begging or sleeping rough in certain areas but our first piece today reports that Bristol city council has now taken this one step further. The local authority is in court today trying to obtain an injunction to ban a group of homeless people from sleeping rough or in a vehicle from any publicly owned land in the whole of the city. Elsewhere, we have a piece which looks at Owen Smith's history with the pharmaceutical industry. It suggests that the Labour leadership hopeful still has important questions to answer about his time at Pfizer.

Farage reveals his true colours with Trump endorsement

"We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions" - Bill Hicks View this email in your browser It's not that long since Nigel Farage was criticising Donald Trump for proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US. But a lot has changed since then. He's no longer the leader of Ukip and our first piece today suggests that any veneer of respectability he still had, is disappearing fast. It argues that Farage's support of Donald Trump in Mississippi last night, revealed his colours. Next up is a piece which looks at the closure of the London nightclub Fabric after two drug-related deaths at the club this summer. It suggests that if Sadiq Khan is serious about championing the night time economy, he needs to start thinking about how to keep both Londoners and their much-loved venues safe. Could drug testing facilities be the answer? And finally, we hear from the Health Foundation about the government's childhood obesity plan. It suggests that the plan is woefully short on government-led action and warns that the interests of big business must not trump children's health.

It wasn't The Sun that got SAS soldier released from prison

"How often misused words generate misleading thoughts" - Herbert Spencer View this email in your browser The Sun newspaper is claiming that its campaign to free an ex-SAS soldier has been a success after he was released early by a parole board. But our first piece today suggests that the 'victory' is not quite as it seems. The newspaper's petition calling for Albert Patterson's sentence to be suspended attracted over 161,000 signatures but that isn't why he was released early.  Owen Smith's campaign to become leader of the Labour party hasn't been going all that well but our next piece suggests he is one of the few people in the party to be speaking any sense on Brexit. It argues that Corbyn's policy tacitly supports the most right-wing elements of the Conservative party but Smith's plan would ensure that, if it happens, it will happen in a tolerable and responsible way.     Latest Articles     Smith is one of the only people in Labour talking sense on Brexit   On Aug 24, 2016 01:06 pm Owen Smith is wrong about a lot of things but he's worth listening to on Brexit Read more... »       It wasn't The Sun that got SAS soldier released from prison   On Aug 23, 2016 07:28 pm The Sun's claim that it helped to get an ex-SAS soldier released early from prison isn't quite as it seems Read more... »   Opinion Former videos   The 23% gender pay gap   On Aug 23, 2016 12:15 pm Male managers are 40% more likely than female managers to be promoted into senior roles, and the gender pay gap remains largely unchanged at 23%.
