In the wake of the disaster that is Northern Rail, the only real option is for the government to step in and end years of miserable service and rising ticket prices

Rail must go public
Northern Rail stands as a testament for all that is wrong with privatisation.
Passengers were let down by a private company that overcharged and under-delivered.
The new timetable was a disaster, delays a daily occurrence, overcrowding routine and cancellations commonplace. The Tories have finally realised this could not continue and have taken the service back into public ownership.

The demise of Northern Rail should sound the death knell for rail privatisation. The policy, rammed through by John Major, is a total failure.
It is not just in the North that passengers have been fleeced by train operating companies, as bosses have grown fat from public subsidies while providing an appalling service for ever-higher ticket prices.
The only thing preventing the Tories from ending this fiasco is their ideological blindness.
It is time for the blinkers to come off.
If it makes sense to take Northern Rail into public ownership then it makes sense that the rest of the railways should be nationalised.

Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls in Wigan has made a special edition to honour a former employee who served in the Second World War.
We can’t think of a sweeter tribute.
It’s not justice
The Grenfell Inquiry has already heard that firms which made and installed the cladding knew it was a potential fire risk.
Now these companies are demanding immunity from prosecution before staff give evidence.
This is deeply insulting to the survivors and the families of the victims, who deserve the truth.
Anyone who withholds evidence adds further stress and anguish to people who have already suffered unimaginable trauma and grief.
If justice is be done then all witnesses who are summoned must take the stand and be held accountable for their actions.
Anyone who fails to do so undermines the inquiry, shows contempt for the victims and prevents lessons from being learned.

EXCLUSIVE: Neil Berriman, the son of Sandra Rivett, has told of the moment he opened an envelope which revealed his mum was the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan in 1974
When Neil Berriman finally held the faded envelope containing the key to his identity, he nearly threw it on to the fire unopened.
The mystery contents might ruin his life for ever. And, as he lit a fire at home on a freezing February day, he decided that whatever the secret was, it should be consigned to the flames.
But something stopped him. He opened that envelope and found himself plunged into an even bigger mystery – one that has taken him across the world in search of Lord Lucan.
Because the documents painstakingly collected by his adoptive mother Audrey revealed that Neil was the son of Sandra Rivett, the nanny believed to have been killed by Lord Lucan before he vanished in 1974.
Neil said: “My life changed for ever. When I realised who I was, I felt shocked, shattered, I felt sad. But I had no idea what lay ahead.”

He had been putting off that terrible moment of truth since he was first told about the envelope five years earlier.
Neil, now 52, always knew he was adopted shortly after birth by loving parents Audrey and Ivan Berriman, but felt no urge to know who his birth mother was while his adoptive mum was still alive. But in 2003, Audrey fell ill and decided it was time to help him discover his past.
Neil said: “One day, about a year before my mum died, she rang me up and said, ‘I have an envelope I want to give to you.’ Now when I look back I think she knew she was dying and she wanted me to know something important. She thought that I might want some answers.”

Any significant new information will be considered.
” Lucan disappeared shortly after Sandra was bludgeoned to death .

The 52-year-old added : “ I ’ ve met him a couple of times but had no idea he was looking for him and had spent so much ... “ He isn ’ t the first person to go to Australia looking .
I remember the press went out there to try and find my father and instead found John Stonehouse who had faked his own death.

EXCLUSIVE: Scotland Yard's cold case team have contacted Neil Berriman, the son of nanny Sandra Rivett, murdered by Lord Lucan in 1974, after he told the Mirror the fugitive is alive and living in Australia
Cold case detectives are to probe the claim Lord Lucan is alive and living in Australia.
Scotland Yard has asked Neil Berriman, 52, to pass on all the evidence he has collected in his four-year investigation to find the missing killer.
Neil, the son of nanny Sandra Rivett, who Lucan is suspected of murdering in 1974, said: “I’m pleased they are taking it so seriously.”
After his claim was revealed by the Mirror yesterday, the building contractor is now due to meet Det Insp Susan Stansfield, of the major inquiries special casework team at Putney police station in South West London.
Neil said: “I know DI Stansfield is out of the country working on another investigation so I am pleased ... she will be meeting me at the first possible opportunity.
" I am very grateful for the police’s quick response.”

The Mirror revealed that Neil had spent £30,000 of his own money trying to track down Lucan and claimed to have found the elusive peer living as a Buddhist in Australia.
Neil has already told Det Insp Stansfield about the eight aliases he believes the man has been using.
And he has passed on the address where the man is living. Lucan would now be 85.
Scotland Yard said: “The inquiry into the death of Sandra Rivett remains open, as is the case with all unsolved murders.
“It has never been closed. Any significant new information will be considered.”

Lucan disappeared shortly after Sandra was bludgeoned to death.
George Bingham, the son of the peer who has been 8th Earl of Lucan since his father was declared dead in 2016, said he had been unaware of Neil’s search.
The 52-year-old added: “I’ve met him a couple of times but had no idea he was looking for him and had spent so much...
“He isn’t the first person to go to Australia looking.
"I remember the press went out there to try and find my father and instead found John Stonehouse who had faked his own death.”

He added: “I am very sceptical about this. I had seen the story and it does seem odd. It would not be the first time someone has made a mistake.
“This is all ancient history. It happened in 1974 and now it’s 2020. I guess people will always go on looking and they are welcome to do so.”
He also revealed that on December 30, he and his wife had a baby son Charles, who is in line to become the 9th Earl of Lucan.
The Earl said: “I’ve more important things to worry about such as sleepless nights. My son is not sleeping very well.”
Shortly after the murder, Lucan drove to the home of his friends in East Sussex and wrote a letter to a pal, asking that his children be looked after because he was going to lie low “for a bit”.
‘Spotted’ on a volcano and at ex-Nazi colony
There are a huge number of theories on what became of Lord Lucan and long list of “sightings” – from backpacking on a volcano to living as a hippy in India.
Some believe he boarded a ferry at Newhaven, others think he got on a private jet at Headcorn in Kent to fly across the Channel where he was picked up by a limo.
And one source insisted he had committed suicide and his body was then fed to tigers at the Kent zoo owned by his pal John Aspinall.
Det Chief Supt Roy Ranson, who led the original murder investigation, claimed in his book that he believed Lucan fled to Africa with the help of influential friends. He was convinced that the discovery of Lucan’s car in Newhaven was a red herring.
He also believed Lucan flew to Portugal in a private plane belonging to former Formula One champion Graham Hill, who died in 1975. Later “evidence” suggested that Lucan was in Mozambique in 1975.
The first reported sighting of Lucan was in January 1975 when he was supposedly spotted in Melbourne, Australia.
Five months later he was “seen” in France at Cherbourg and St Malo. Police in South Africa examined fingerprints, supposedly left on a beer glass by Lucan in Cape Town.
Sightings were reported in southern Africa, first in Mozambique and then Zimbabwe, and there were even claims he lived in India as a hippy called “Jungle Barry”.
He was also “spotted”at an ex-Nazi colony in Paraguay, a sheep station in the Australian outback and backpacking on Mt Etna, Sicily.
In 1978, Barbados Police were asked by Scotland Yard to investigate reports that a British resident was sending money to Lord Lucan in South America.
An ITV drama claimed the peer had been spirited away by wealthy friends, including Sir James Goldsmith and Aspinall.
In 2007, the search switched to New Zealand after claims he had been living in a car while, in 2012, his brother Hugh Bingham said he was “sure” Lucan had fled to Africa.
Other theories suggest Lucan was held to ransom by the IRA. BBC South East in 2009 opened up the possibility he disguised himself with surgery. But Lady Lucan said he had admitted killing the nanny by accident.
She insisted he did “the honourable thing” and jumped off a ferry leaving Newhaven

Dogs are vomiting for days, suffering excessive diarrhoea and blood in their stools in a 'worrying' increase in case at veterinary practices across the UK leading to warnings of a dangerous virus
A dangerous virus has been striking beloved pets down across the country, leaving them vomiting for more than five days and bleeding blood.
One vet warns she is seeing "double the amount" of poorly pooches.
An urgent warning has been issued to owners after a "worrying" number of cases of dogs suffering from excessive vomiting and diarrhoea.
One dog was so unwell that he could barely walk up the corridor at the vets and had to be carried.
Symptoms of the virus include prolonged vomiting for five days or more, diarrhoea and blood in their stools.
If your pooch appears run down or lethargic or if they have gone off their grub - these could also be signs of the virus.

"I rung around some local practices to see if there had been anything similar. Ardmore in Sudbury had, so we thought the next step is to make people aware.

"One came in really unwell, they could barely walk up the corridor, we had to pick him up. He was the worst by a mile, he had been showing symptoms for up to five days.
"We must have a bug going around, because all our patients have been wormed, which leaves bacteria and viruses to be the only cause."
A suspected bug has been reported at a number of locations across the country, including Liverpool, and Norfolk, as well as the The Forge Veterinary Centre’s sister practice, The Aldham Veterinary Centre, near Colchester.

thedailymirror--2020-01-29--Love Island's Leanne Amaning cruelly dumped as scorned Mike gets 'revenge'

Leanne Amaning was cruelly dumped from Love Island tonight as a recoupling was sprung upon the Islanders .
And scorned partner Mike Boateng managed to get his revenge as he chose to recouple with Sophie Piper in a bitter twist .
Earlier this week , Leanne admitted to Mike that she did n't think that they had a future together - which could n't have come at a worse time with a recoupling on the horizon .
This evening , the boys had to choose which girl to recouple with and the one left over would be dumped from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple with Paige while Luke T chose Siannise .
