“The frontier of high-value scenarios we enable will march outward”

It is no use. I must scratch that itch: the itch to ban things. It is time to put another 10 logs on the fire; another 10 words or phrases on the Banned List.

I praised Ed Miliband in The Independent on Sunday yesterday for finally doing what Neil Kinnock, John Smith (pictured), Tony Blair and Gordon Brown lacked the courage to do:

I mean breaking the link between the trade unions and the Labour Party. We Blairites are not calling it that, of course, because we are trying to be helpful.

But that is what it is. I do think that what Miliband has done is historic and important and hope that it will be followed through. It is too late to make much practical difference for the 2015 election (although it will help with perceptions of Ed Miliband’s leadership): most of the candidates have already been selected and I doubt if the reforms will come in in time to affect union funding for the 2015 campaign.

This is “all about winning in 2020″, as one gloomy shadow minister, who regards the 2015 election as a write-off, said to me.view more

Rightmove has reported a seventh consecutive monthly rise in in prices for homes coming onto the market, up by 0.3% (£860) with sellers now asking 4.8% (£11,561) more than a year ago. All regions show a year-on-year increase for the first time since September 2010.Mermaid Prom Dresses

Miles Shipside, Rightmove director and housing market analyst said: “Given what we’ve seen over the first half of this year, we expect the average asking price of property coming to the market in England and Wales to end 2013 around 4% higher. While the current annual rate stands at 4.8%, in recent years the gains of the first-half of the year have been eaten away in the second. Between June and December last year, asking prices fell by 7%. The signs are that prices in 2013 will not dissipate as they have in recent years.view more
