CAMERON'S TAX CUT PLAN WILL GIVE SAVERS A BOOST

David Cameron's plans to cut taxes for savers show that he, at least, understands the plight of those whose living standards depend upon savings income.

Q For 20 years I have been waking early and can’t get back to sleep again.

YOU can't help wondering which bright spark at the Department of Health came up with the inspired idea of blowing £8million of our money on an advertising campaign to combat obesity which, wait for it, doesn't mention obesity.

Mick Dennis

IF YOU doubt the value of this week’s Carling Cup games, think about the FA Cup match that almost brought the house down.

LAST week it was Winston Churchill, this week it is Franklin D Roosevelt. Gordon Brown’s eagerness to infuse his failing premiership with the glow of history is reaching absurd depths.

Did you have a good Christmas and New Year?” friends keep asking,   a question that will be repeated this week in hundreds of thousands of homes and offices all over the world.

One doesn’t need a particularly good memory to recall the time when Labour’s favourite weapon to aim against the Church of England was that it represented the Tory Party at prayer. Indeed, when it came to power in 1997, Labour appeared determined   to create the impression that it, rather than the Church, was the rightful occupant of the moral high ground.

IF you want to make a few extra quid this year, then you might want to take a look at these 2009 footballing specials courtesy of Sky Bet.

HOW typical. The England cricket team allowed us barely 24 hours of gloating about the troubles of the Australian side before parading their own chaos to the world.

For those “in the know” it’s enough to mutter “T&M” or “Suttons” when a friend asks the source of some outstanding salad, veg or annual flower you have grown, but a lot of people don’t have a clue what you’re on about. Once they’ve wised up to the world of seed catalogues, all becomes clear. Putting your name on a mailing list opens up an entirely new gardening world, full of good things to grow.

David Robson

What’s in a number? His team won 5-1, now he’s   up on an assault charge that could get him five years. That’s Steven Gerrard’s Sunday/Monday in a nutshell. What actually went on that night at the Lounge Inn, described by Southport’s local paper as “the swanky Bold Street nightspot”, we do not know. We do know that a man acting as DJ lost a tooth and needed stitches.

THE gangs of old New York battled each other at the notorious Five Points corner in Martin Scorsese’s hit film, which was on TV over Christmas.
