Philip Hammond’s speech at the Mansion House dinner marked his final major address to the City and the effective end of his tenure at the Treasury. Unlike some of his predecessors, Hammond has not been the kind of flashy chancellor who tried to use the role as a stepping stone for the top job. In fact, at his first fiscal event – the 2016 Autumn Statement – he spoke out against making hundreds of tax changes twice a year, and committed to a single annual Budget and a straightforward Spring Statement responding to the economic forecast, forgoing the multiple opportunities to tinker and show off that George Osborne had so enjoyed. “Spreadsheet Phil” should also be commended for his commitment to fiscal discipline. While numerous members of the government, including Protestors, apparently affiliated with Greenpeace, interrupted the event during Theresa May in her final He won’t depart to chancellor Philip Hammond’s speech.

As with his head high the leadership candidates Climate protest gets ugly have pledged tax cuts and spending splurges on everything from schools to local councils to the environment, the chancellor’s contribution to the contest has been to urge them to commit to reducing the national debt (at least as a proportion of GDP) and not increasing the deficit. as big beasts bow out Beyond that, his record is mixed.

  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.

The stars of the future will be on show at the four world- class venues in Changzhou, Jiangyin, Changshu and Kunshan as the AFC delivers on its promise to provide outstanding competitions for the talent of Asia. The AFC is most grateful to the Chinese Football Association, the four host cities and the Local Organising Committees for their hard work in ensuring that this event is a worthy successor to the tournament held two years ago in Qatar. That event was won by Japan after they staged a stunning comeback in the final to defeat Korea Republic and I am sure we will all witness some exciting games and some surprising results during the next 18 days. Congratulations to all Member Associations who have teams here at the AFC U23 Championship and also to those who staged the qualifying tournaments. Your commitment to the AFC competitions is much appreciated. Also, a word of thanks to our match officials. Asia has some of the best refereeing teams in the world and just like the players you will see some of the best young referees from across the Continent in this event. We wish everyone the best of luck and hope that the spectators, both in the stadium and watching on television or engaging through social media, enjoy a glimpse of the future talent of Asia.
