Former Lib Dem leader Lord Ashdown turns on prime minister for 'breach of faith' in alternative vote campaign Liberal Democrats were facing an electoral wipeout in Scotland and the north of England early on Friday morning as Lord Ashdown, one of Nick Clegg's closest allies, accused David Cameron of a breach of faith, condemning the prime minister's refusal to dissociate himself from a "regiment of lies" poured out by the no to AV campaign. As the recriminations began over the almost certain defeat of the yes campaign over changing the voting system for MPs, Ashdown said Cameron's behaviour set him apart from every British prime minister of the postwar period. Ashdown told the Guardian: "So far the coalition has been lubricated by a large element of goodwill and trust. It is not any longer. The consequence is that when it comes to the bonhomie of the Downing Street rose garden, that has gone. It will never again be glad confident morning." The former Liberal Democrat leader was joined by the party's deputy leader, Simon Hughes, who accused the Tory-funded no campaign of running a "fundamentally fallacious campaign that will reduce trust between the Tories and his party". Faced ... Michael Moore believes the president is telling the truth about Osama bin Laden's death. LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Michael Moore thinks Osama bin Laden's death at the hands of U.S. Navy Seals is a conspiracy, and will likely expand on his thesis when he is interviewed by CNN's Piers Morgan later on Thursday.

Moore's reimagined [...] Leaked report documents incidents at three plants during February considered serious enough to be reported to ministers There have been two spillages of radioactive waste and a breakdown in an emergency cooling system at Britain's nuclear plants in the last three months, according to a report to ministers leaked to the Guardian. A brown puddle containing plutonium five times the legal safety limit leaked from an old ventilation duct at the Sellafield nuclear complex in Cumbria. This exposed "a number of shortfalls in the design", says the report. Groundwater at the Torness nuclear power station near Edinburgh was contaminated with radioactive tritium (a form of hydrogen) leaking from two pipelines. At Hartlepool nuclear station on the north-east coast of England, the back-up cooling system was put out of action by a faulty valve. All three incidents occurred in February this year and are still under investigation by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the government's newly created nuclear safety watchdog. They were sufficiently serious to be reported to ministers under safety guidelines agreed in the wake of the Chernobyl accident in Ukraine 25 years ago. Disclosure of the incidents could further delay the government's plans for a new ... (Scott) Below John writes about Dinesh D'Souza's appearance at Gustavus Adolphus College last night. The theme of his talk, John reports, was loosely based on D'Souza's first post-9/11 book, _What's So Great About America_. The title of the book, incidentally, is a statement, not a question. The book stands in marked contrast with D'Souza's second post 9/11 book, _The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11_. The latter not only contrasts with _WSGAA_, it is also one of the worst books I've ever read. It's not just bad in the usual ways, however, it is also deeply dishonest. I wrote about _The Enemy at Home_ at some length in the New Criterion essay "D'Souza goes native" (subscribers only) and in one of the comments on D'Souza's four-part response to his critics. D'Souza's response to his critics is immortalized in the paperback edition of _The Enemy at Home_. NRO collected comments on D'Souza's response to his critics under the heading "The enemy D'Souza knows" and separately posted Victor Davis Hanson's comment as the column "The mind of Mr. D'Souza." D'Souza framed the _The Enemy at Home_ on a thesis that, he acknowledged, would "seem startling ...

Bobby Moore, George Cohen, Alan Mullery, Bobby Robson - there are a number of former Fulham greats who probably deserve a small plaque on a wall somewhere in recognition of their years of loyal service, so perhaps one can appreciate why a number of Fulham fans were rather perturbed last weekend when club owner Mohammed Al Fayed decided to unveil a Michael Jackson statue at Craven Cottage.

The multicamera comedy, from Warner Bros and Conan O'Brien's Conaco, centers on Vince (Chiklis), a family man who experiences a medical problem and starts to speak the truth and live in the moment much to the chagrin of his family. Jobrani will play his contracting partner, who is unnerved by Vince's new uncensored verbosity. Engel will play Vince's mother, who moves in with him after separating from her husband. Actor-comedian Jobrani, repped by APA and Levity, is a founding member of the _Axis of Evil_ standup troupe and toplined ABC's comedy pilot _Funny In Farsi_ last season. _Dharma & Greg_ alumna **Mimi Kennedy** is set to co-star opposite Becki Newton and Gerald McRaney in CBS' untitled Filgos family comedy pilot. It centers on Joe Reilly (McRaney), a blue-collar guy who wrestles with how to parent his unmarried grown daughter Eileen (Newton) and her 12-year-old son while sharing a house with them as well as his smart, coupon-cutting wife (Kenendy) and his recently widowed mother.

Fellow ministers are frustrated that they were given no long-term warning by the Treasury of the plan in advance of the budget and that the oil companies were given no chance to be consulted. It is also being argued that the sudden change in the tax regime ran counter to a series of pledges Osborne gave to the North Sea oil industry in opposition. He told the Aberdeen Press and Journal in 2009 that one of his earliest budget commitments would be to set up a parliament-long stable tax regime for the oil industry. The Treasury minister Justine Greening went to a bruising meeting with oil companies attended by other government ministers in which she was told that the industry has lost trust in government promises to maintain a stable tax regime in the North Sea. One witness said she was "grilled alive". At a meeting ...
