Activists took to the streets to riot against the government measures. Clashes with the police intensified yesterday, with a number of people being injured and arrested. The Bank can’t avoid a storm blowing its way HEN Dame Helena Morrissey revealed she was standing down from Legal & General last week, the City rumour Wmill was sent into overdrive. The Square Mile veteran and champion of boardroom equality said only that she had “a lot of ideas and other things to achieve”. This rather enigmatic sign-off will do little to quell speculation that her candidacy is attracting support at the highest levels. The race for the Threadneedle Street top job will always spark excitement, but the Bank must now make one of the most significant appointments in its 325-year history. Current governor Mark Carney has already had his tenure extended twice and is now set to stand down at the end of January. But with a further extension to the Brexit deadline and a potential General Election looking increasingly likely, many City watchers believe Carney could be asked to stay in place even longer. He’s let it be known that he would consider any request to do so. The shortlist of potential candidates is drawn up by civil servants but the chancellor, Sajid Javid, is not bound by it. Perhaps that explains why new names keep cropping up. With City grandee Sir John Kingman said to be out of the race, Morrissey has now moved squarely into the HSBC to slash limelight alongside FCA chief executive Andrew Bailey.

  • Wales Win Six Nations As Scotland Upset ‘Disappointed’ France
    14 Established 1961 Sports Sunday, March 28, 2021 Photo of the day Rashford, Saka out of England qualifiers LONDON: Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have both been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Poland, the Football Association announced Friday. England launched their bid to play in the finals of Qatar 2022 with a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of minnows San Marino at Wembley on Thursday. Rashford and Saka both missed that match and the FA have now confirmed the pair will miss England’s other two qualifying matches this month. England travel to Tirana today and face Poland at Wembley on Wednesday - their last fixture before manager Gareth Southgate names his squad for this year’s Covid-delayed European Championships. “Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka will play no part in England’s forthcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers,” the FA said in a statement. “Rashford reported to St George’s Park with an injury that ruled him out of the 5-0 win against San Marino and, following further assessment, it has been decided he will continue his rehabilitation with Manchester United. “Saka had remained at Arsenal for further assess- ment on an ongoing issue with the hope of joining up with the Three Lions but will now not be available for the fixtures against Albania and Poland.” Arsenal teenager Saka made his England debut against Wales in October and has since won a further three caps. Rashford only appeared in two of England’s eight fixtures in 2020 and has now been ruled out with a foot injury that made him miss Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Leicester.

These are individual residents - now 4,243 supporters of “Twickenham lido”, who the Council do not seem to hear. However, a question asked is will the Council give in to public opinion or will minority groups in a small area of Twickenham win the day? The Council consultation at the moment consists of a “Stakeholders Group”. Those of us interested in Twickenham Riverside are all stakeholders but a number of the groups invited to consult with the Council seem to be connected with Eel Pie Island - a car-free island, where people appear to want to keep vehicles on the Embankment rather than looking at alternative parking.
