Coupe spoke boldly about price cuts and cost savings, and finished with a special thanks to the competition watchdog for approving the deal without hesitation. That is how yesterday’s presentation at Sainsbury’s HQ might have gone. But thanks to a deadly intervention from the Competition and Markets Authority last week, the tone was much less celebratory. With his Asda merger plans torn to shreds, Coupe was left to sell the City a business strategy that simply lacked the hefty promises (both to consumers and investors) which had been pledged as part of the tie-up. In his powerpoint pitch, the grocery JOHN McDonnell spoke to the annual May Day gathering in London yesterday. He gave his speech in front of a flag which showed images of socialist thinkers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, alongside communist dictators Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. This veteran could not bring himself to mention the A-word even once: week, the shadow chancellor told the BBC the Labour Party will unleash an economic “revolution” in the UK if it wins power. instead he talked of digital rollouts, store investments and the need to focus on economy products. Sitting next to the City grandee and Sainsbury’s chairman Martin Scicluna, Coupe stressed a number of positives to take away from the results: net debt was down, cash flow was up and underlying profits rose. But the botched merger plans were hard to ignore, May walks back no-deal even if it was not what he or his communications team wanted to talk about. “What these numbers confirm is that the pursuit of the Asda deal has been very very expensive, but the £46m that they spent on chasing it is the smaller part of the expense,” says retail analyst Richard Hyman. “The bigger part of the expense is stance at grilling by MPs the ground that they’ve lost in terms of market share and in terms of reputation with their customers”.

  • Democratic Audit: Postal Votes and Allegations of Electoral Fraud in Peterborough's By-Election
    Democratic Audit: Postal votes and allegations of electoral fraud in Peterborough’s by-election Page 1 of 3 Postal votes and allegations of electoral fraud in Peterborough’s by-election Timothy Peace and Parveen Akhtar discuss the allegations of electoral malpractice in the recent Peterborough by-election in which Labour won by 683 votes. While an initial police inquiry found that no offences were revealed, they explain why certain areas are more susceptible to such claims than others. Photo by sl wong from Pexels After its success in the European Parliament elections, many expected Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party to follow this result by electing its first MP at the subsequent by-election in Peterborough, held on 6 June. Called because the sitting Labour MP Fiona Onasanya was forced out of office following a conviction, few expected Labour to retain the seat. So when their candidate Lisa Forbes won the contest by just 683 votes, many observers were surprised even if nothing untoward was initially mentioned as a reason for her victory. Fast forward just over a week after the result and Nigel Farage was claiming that Peterborough was a ‘rotten borough’ and that postal voting was producing the ‘wrong results’. Out of the 33,998 ballot papers counted, 9,898 were postal votes, with approximately 400 of these being rejected because of discrepancies in details including signatures and dates of births not matching the council records. Cambridgeshire Police subsequently confirmed that it was investigating five allegations of electoral irregularities, three of which related to postal votes, with one allegation of bribery and corruption and another involving a breach of the privacy of the vote.

  • Sentencing Remarks Onasanya
    AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT R V FESTUS ONASANYA AND FIONA ONASANYA SENTENCING REMARKS OF MR JUSTICE STUART-SMITH 29 JANUARY 2019 Festus and Fiona Onasanya, I have to sentence you for offences of perverting the course of public justice. It is a tragedy that you find yourselves here and in this predicament; but it is a tragedy that you have brought upon yourselves. The Background Facts This case concerns three offences of perverting the course of public justice by providing false information to the authorities about who was driving when speeding offences were committed. The underlying speeding offences took place over a period of about two months, on 17 June 2017, 24 July 2017 and 23 August 2017. The first and third speeding offence involved your Audi A4 car, Mr Onasanya; the second involved your Nissan Micra, Ms Onasanya. In each case I am satisfied that you, Mr Onasanya, filled out the form providing information about people who you knew would not be traceable by the authorities. In this way he hoped that the trail would go cold and the true driver of the speeding cars would not be brought to justice. On 5 November 2018 you, Mr Onasanya, pleaded guilty to each of the three charges on the indictment. You, Ms Onasanya, were convicted by the jury after a retrial in relation to what happened after the speeding offence involving your car on 24 July 2017. I am told that you do not accept the correctness of the jury’s verdict; but as a solicitor you will understand that I am bound by it and must be true to it in passing sentence today.

    FREE THE BREXIT CLUB: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE LEAVE CAMPAIGNS SHOCK VICTORY PDF Owen Bennett | 352 pages | 12 Oct 2016 | Biteback Publishing | 9781785900983 | English | London, United Kingdom Dr Paul Stocker Sean Mahoney on the Farage appeal, the Brexit chaos and the cirumlocution offices of the modern age. Future generations will have the benefit of knowing how Brexit pans out. A Brexit Government, led by a Prime Minister who campaigned for Remain, seems intent on throwing more confusion into the political landscape. None of this chaos The Brexit Club: The Inside Story of the Leave Campaigns Shock Victory have been a surprise. The first wave of instant histories has already been published. Often, they are essentially a self-justification narrative and with this motivation, both the winners and losers have been quick to press. Owen Bennet has followed Nigel Farage over the last few years and offers what is at times, even if not intentionally, a sympathetic Farage—centric view of the Brexit campaign. In fact, they never had a cohesive plan for the pre-referendum stage. The The Brexit Club: The Inside Story of the Leave Campaigns Shock Victory list is long and seems to get out of hand quickly. No two characters really like each other. Nigel is not liked by a range of characters who would rather he stayed away from the Campaign. Not many people like them. Aaron Banks dislikes them. He does though have the necessary qualities to bankroll the GO campaign. George Galloway appears and disappears all in one day, but no one except Nigel really cares for him.
