David Cameron is considering ordering billions of pounds in extra welfare cuts proposed in a confidential Downing Street policy paper. The plans include a new crackdown on housing benefit and a “mark two” system of universal credit to help push people off benefits back into full-time, rather than part-time, work. There are also understood to be a range of measures to encourage more women, particularly single mothers, to return to work.

A man whose lies helped to make the case for invading Iraq – starting a nine-year war costing more than 100,000 lives and hundreds of billions of pounds – will come clean in his first British television interview tomorrow.
"Curveball", the Iraqi defector who fabricated claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, smiles as he confirms how he made the whole thing up. It was a confidence trick that changed the course of history, with Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi's lies used to justify the Iraq war.

Last week I visited Paul Adcock, joint owner of Adcock & Sons, a small retailer of TVs, washing machines and other consumer electrical goods in the small market town of Watton in Norfolk.
Like many retailers, especially in sectors facing sharp competition from the internet, he is struggling. So what is special about Adcocks, other than that this is its centenary year? Well one reason why Adcocks is in serious financial difficulties is that it is paying an interest rate of 9% on a commercial mortgage of approximately £900,000, generating a bill of just under £80,000 a year.

How come the epidemic of ADHD—which has become firmly established in the United States—has almost completely passed over children in France?

Will he dare? When George Osborne stands at the dispatch box on Wednesday, will he have the nerve to say "We're all in this together"? If he cuts the top 50p rate, with unemployment rising towards 3 million, surely even he can't speak the words. If he calls it a budget for "jobs and growth", that's no nearer the truth, but at least that is something he wants, even while refusing to will the means. But let's hear no "one nation" talk from a government that seems indifferent to how unfairly it distributes pain. Most measures will widen the gaps that make Britain one of the most unequal countries in the OECD.

It is one of history's most enduring mysteries and has kept conspiracy theorists buzzing for half a century: did Fidel Castro have a hand in the assassination of President John F Kennedy? Officially, the Cuban dictator was cleared of involvement in the shooting of his fiercest adversary. The inquiry into the murder concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald, a communist sympathiser, acted alone.

Goldman Sachs was subjected to a scathing attack by one of its own senior executives yesterday for its ‘toxic and destructive’ culture and ‘morally bankrupt’ staff.
In a deeply embarrassing blow to the controversial investment bank, the London-based manager said he was quitting after 12 years because he could no longer work there ‘in good conscience’.
Greg Smith claimed clients were branded ‘muppets’ and sidelined by senior directors who were more interested in making money for themselves.

As a civil servant in London, and being part of the establishment, I always accepted the general view that an independent Scotland would not be able to survive on its own without financial help from the London Exchequer.
However, when in 1968 I was able to examine the so-called "books" for the first time, I was shocked to find that the position was exactly the opposite and that Scotland contributed much more to the UK economy than its other partners. This was, of course, before the oil boom.
