Rajesh Rai | Phuentsholing
The bordering town of Phuentsholing has seen 34 cases of domestic and gender-based violence until October this year, the highest among all the dzongkhags, according to the RENEW’s latest findings.
This was announced during the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which was observed yesterday in Phuentsholing.
During the event, the assistant focal person for RENEW’s community-based support system (CBSS) in Phuentsholing, Sonam Choki, said the number was more because Phuentsholing is the biggest commercial hub of the country.
“Many people move in and out of Phuentsholing,” she said, adding that the thromde is also the second most populated town.
Sonam Choki also said that the thromde had shown the highest number of cases because the CBSS team had worked really hard and more people had come forth to report violence.
“It is also because RENEW volunteers had conducted more awareness and advocacy campaigns.”
She said they provide immediate support to the victims.
The pandemic has worsened the situation.
Sonam Choki said that public gatherings were not allowed and it was a challenge to get more women to come forward.
“RENEW, however, took the opportunity to campaign awareness and advocacies to those women who had settled in schools after being evacuated from Jaigaon, prior to their moving out to Toorsa temporary settlement.”
RENEW has currently nine volunteers in Phuentsholing.
At the event yesterday, Chukha dzongdag Minjur Dorji said each Bhutanese individual, especially, the men have greater responsibility to eliminate violence against women.
“Although it will take time to entirely uproot such issues, we have to be more realistic and support. We need behavioral change,” he said, explaining everyone is a champion to such social cause.
He said that there are ample policies, rules and regulations in place. There is the need to implement them.
RENEW volunteers, Phuentsholing thrompon, thromde tshogpas, and volunteers from the local volunteer group called ‘Happiness Centre’ were present to observe the day yesterday.

SACCORD has said that it has taken note of the internal disciplinary measures that the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has undertaken over the matter involving Honourable Kambwili and Luansha Mayor Nathan Chanda.
In an interview Boniface Cheembe noted that the tone of reconciliation that has been shared with the public gives hope that when differences arise over two personalities in various political parties, a platform and process of reconciliation can be given to these individuals for an amicable and peaceful way forward.
Mr Cheembe said there had been high expectation that the only resolution that was going to be arrived at was the immediate expulsion of Honourable Kambwili, which often time is a much easier route to take as opposed to applying peace building measures that need patience.
He explained that Internal wrangles and conflicts will always arise in any given entity hence the need to resolve conflicts amicably.
“…Therefore, the issue is never whether conflicts will arise, but rather how they are resolved once they do. It is always expected that the ruling party will lead by example when it comes amicably resolving conflicts and as SACCORD we have taken note of the manner with which they have handled the matter that has been a subject matter for sometime in the nation.
“We hope that the Vice President led mediation team will produce results that will help the individuals involved in the conflict to reconcile,” he said.

UAE electricity demand forecast to drop by 30%
10-year prediction reflects potential Dubai slowdown
The UAE government expects that the recent recession will have an impact on long-term electricity demand and has cut its 10-year forecast by around 30%, according to a report in The National newspaper.
In the forecast period, the UAE will increase capacity by 81% to 33,500MW, said Oil Minister Mohammed Al Hamli, according to the state news agency WAM. Last month, another senior official said that the country would need 40,000MW capacity by 2020.
The newspaper said that the readjusted demand was likely to be as a result of lower demand in Dubai, as ADWEA is predicting a three-fold increase in 2020 over the current capacity projected for this year.

Kerala: Congress again warns Tharoor against participating in CPI-M seminar
Thiruvananthapuram, March 20, 2022
Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K. Sudhakaran has once again asked party leaders to refrain from attending a CPI-M seminar to be held in April.
Sudhakaran said that the state party has issued a ban on party leaders participating in the national-level seminar to be organised by the CPI-M as part of its National Conference at Kannur and if anyone violates that they would have to face party action.
The 23rd party Congress will be held at the red fort of Kannur from April 6 to April 10, and as part of the national conference, the CPI-M is organising the seminar.
The CPI-M has invited Shashi Tharoor and former Union Minister K. V. Thomas for the seminar on national politics.
The Congress party had issued a statement that no Congress leader must participate in the CPI-M seminar as the party is in a fight against the CPI-M due to the "anti-people" policies of the Left government led by Pinarayi Vijayan.
Tharoor, meanwhile on Saturday, said that there was no party ban for him participating in the seminar.
Responding to this, Sudhakaran said that if anyone participates in the seminar he will have to face disciplinary action. Sudhakaran, however, said that if Congress President Sonia Gandhi grants permission to participate in the seminar, then Tharoor can do so.
The Congress is against the K-Rail project of the Left government in the state and the major public participation against the stone-laying and encroachment of properties in the state has turned the ire of the people against the Pinarayi Vijayan government.
Congress leaders are of the opinion that in such a situation where public mood is against the CPI-M and the Left Front, if some leaders attend a function organised by the CPI-M, it would give wrong message to the party cadres and general public and hence the ban on participation in the seminar.
With Sudhakaran categorically stating that those who participate in the seminar would face the music, it is to be seen as to how Shashi Tharoor will respond to this.
Meanwhile, CPI-M state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said that the Congress is unnecessarily creating an issue about leaders participating in the seminar. He said that the Kerala state Congress party is playing second fiddle to the BJP and that the seminar to be organised was against the BJP-led government at the Centre. He also welcomed the Congress leaders who can take part in the seminar.


Sri Lanka is facing an economic war launched by some groups three years after the war with the LTTE came to an end, External Affairs Minister G.L Peiris said today.

Peiris stressed that only a domestic solution will suite Sri Lanka and that solution will be reached through a parliament process.
He also stressed that the government will not fully withdraw the armed forces from the north despite immense pressure to do so.
The External Affairs Minister said that the government will only reduce the military presence in the north but maintain some troops like in other parts of the country for security purposes.
He also said that the remaining war displaced people will be resettled by the middle of this month.
The External Affairs Minister noted that there was misinformed criticism about the army and its relationship with the government.
He also stressed that the role of the army during the war was to release civilians being held by the LTTE.

– Governor Rochas Okorocha says he has to clear the air concerning what he calls a rumour
– Okorocha denies that the Supreme Court restrained Imo state from conducting local government elections
– He challenges those those who have the court papers to release such
Governor Rochas Okorocha has said there is no Supreme Court order restraining Imo state government from conducting the planed Local Government election and insisted that the election must be conducted as scheduled.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Okorocha disclosed this in a press statement signed by his chief press secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Monday, April 24.
He said the clarification has become necessary following a false rumor being carried by former local government council chairmen that a Supreme Court order has been obtained to restrain government from conducting the proposed election.
It will be recalled that Okorocha had announced plan to conduct local government election after seven years in power.
But a rumour recently emerged that Supreme Court has restrained the government from conducting the planed election.
Okorocha, in the statement, challenged those carrying the rumour to publish the court order for the public to judge.
According to the release, former local government council chairmen who took Imo government to court have lost both in the high and appeal court.
It further stated that the matter, which was before the Supreme Court, was adjourned to December, 2018, adding that it has nothing to do with the planed local government election scheduled by Imo State Electoral Commission (ISEC).
NAIJ.com earlier reported that Governor Rochas Okorocha said that he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari when the position of the presidency is zoned to the southeast.
Okorocha spoke on Monday, April 16, when he hosted some political stakeholders at the state government house in Owerri.

‘The Filipino Community in Qatar is informed that the Embassy has already wound up its special repatriation programme through chartered flights, and has accordingly suspended the online registration link for the chartered flights given the current availability and frequency of commercial flights being operated by commercial airlines in Doha, such as but not limited to Qatar Airways and the Philippine Airlines, the embassy said in a recent Facebook post.
The embassy also noted ‘high ‘no show’ and ‘back-out’ rates of passengers in the recent chartered flights, which make these flights no longer cost-efficient.
‘It may help to know that Qatar Airways is now operating 30 weekly commercial flights to the Philippines catering to the cities of Clark, Cebu and Manila while the Philippine Airlines is operating three weekly commercial flights to Manila, the embassy added.
The embassy, in collaboration with the Qatar government, arranged several chartered flights with the help of Philippine Airlines, as well as a number of commercial flights, for the repatriation of Filipino expatriates in Qatar in previous months amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The embassy stressed that it continues to provide assistance to those who wish to be repatriated.
The embassy and the Philippine Overseas Labour Office thanked His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the Supreme Committee for Crisis Management, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Interior and its Search and Follow Up Department, the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs, the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority, the Hamad International Airport, and Qatar Airways for their invaluable assistance.

CM's mood, tone changed after ED decided to interrogate CM Raveendran: Ramesh Chennithala
Thrissur: Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala has lashed out against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The Congress leader stated that the Chief Minister’s tone and mood changed soon after ED decided to interrogate his Additional Private Secretary, CM Raveendran. Ramesh Chennithala was speaking to the media at a press conference here.
"It was the Chief Minister who wrote to the Prime Minister requesting for a investigation into the gold smuggling case. It was the CM who said that the investigation is proceeding in the right direction. It was the CM, who said that Kerala should see whose heart beat rises when the investigation reaches them," Chennithala said.
However, the Chief Minister's tone and mood changed when investigation agency decided to interrogate CM Raveendran. It is necessary to look into the Chief Minister’s role in this. When the investigation agencies reached the state to probe the case, there was a declaration of war against these agencies. If the Chief Minister has nothing to hide, why is he scared? Chennithala questioned. He stated that the Chief Minister has been lying about the case from the beginning.
It was the LDF’s decision to file cases against a dozen of UDF MLAs. This was done with the intention of politically damaging the Opposition when the ruling party itself is covered in scams and allegations.
Chennithala said that the government has decided to conduct primary investigation against him based on some false statements. He alleged that the Chief Minister was conspiring against the Opposition leader.
The MLAs who spoke against the government are being trapped in false cases. Chennithala stated that he and others will not be silenced by the cases filed against the different MLAs. Ramesh Chennithala added that they will move ahead with protests against the state government.
Chennithala also said that actions of the state government were not in the spirit of democracy and added that he will fight against the false case against him both politically and legally.
It has been proved that the Chief Minister and Additional Private Secretary were involved in the gold smuggling scam. Extraordinary circumstances have shaped up in Kerala. The CPM General Secretary's son has been arrested in connection with the Bengaluru drug bust case. Both the CPM and the state government are staring at its biggest crisis in history, said Ramesh Chennithala.

With an annual production of 40 million saplings, Alborz is an important contributor to this ambitious plan.
Speaking at a ceremony for tree and sapling planting in the Agriculture Department of the province, Niazi highlighted the importance of increasing green space per capita and preserving the environment and clean air. He emphasized that the Ministry of Agriculture has taken measures to advance this popular plan and provide necessary assistance in implementing its projects.
Last week, Agriculture Minister Javad Sadati-Nejad announced that Iran has the capacity to plant one billion trees in four years. He explained that, in the current Iranian calendar year, the ministry has revived 238 abandoned and destroyed nurseries, creating the capacity to produce 400 million saplings with the help of the people and the private sector.
The plan to plant one billion saplings in Iran aims to improve the country's environment, increase green space, and tackle desertification. The initiative is expected to create new job opportunities and contribute to the country's economic development.
The Water and Soil Department of the Ministry of Agriculture is actively involved in advancing this plan and providing the necessary support for its implementation. The department has taken measures to facilitate the production and distribution of saplings, as well as to establish nurseries and green spaces across the country.
Alborz province's active participation in this plan is a testament to the region's commitment to environmental sustainability and preservation. The province's annual production of 40 million saplings demonstrates its significant contribution to the national target of one billion saplings in four years.
As the Iranian government continues to invest in environmental sustainability and preservation, it is expected that the country will see significant improvements in its environment and the quality of life for its citizens. The plan to plant one billion saplings is just one of the many initiatives aimed at achieving these goals and contributing to the country's growth and development.

Delhi govt schools to hold PTMs for the first time on July 30
First-ever parents-teachers meeting in Delhi government schools will be held on July 30, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia said on Thursday.
In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Delhi government has decided to hold the parents-teachers meetings (PTMs) twice every year in schools run by it.
“This is the first ever PTM being held in government schools, that too on such a large scale. So far, the PTMs were not held in government schools at all. But now the PTM will be held biannually in government schools,” said Delhi’s deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia.
Not revealing the amount, he said that the government sanctioned separate budget to organise PTMs in nearly 1,000 schools run by it.
“Welcoming teams have been formed to look after the parents during the meeting. Separate budget allocation is also made to organise to the PTMs,” he told reporters here.
“The focus of the PTM will be to encourage one-to-one communication between parents and teachers. The parents should celebrate the occasion as it is being held to improve the quality of education in schools,” he added.
He also urged the parents to give feedback and share the grievances during the meeting.
Sisodia also announced that on every Friday between 12pm and 1pm, the education officials would be available at their offices to meet the parents and register their complaints or feedback.
During the PTM, the government will also apprise the parents about the initiatives taken by the government to improve the quality of education in its schools.

"These are numbers that remain low," Blanquer told French TV channel LCI on Wednesday.
Blanquer said the 81 closed schools represented only 0.13% of total schools in the country.
France recorded more than 10,000 new virus cases for the first time since the start of the pandemic over the weekend.
This week, the cities of Marseille and Bordeaux have tightened coronavirus restrictions on public gatherings in a bid to curb rising numbers of cases.
The move comes after French Prime Minister Jean Castex addressed the nation on Friday, asking local authorities to present new measures and emphasizing that Marseille, Bordeaux and the Guadeloupe were particularly affected areas.

"Avita Montez, 24-years-old, June 5th, 2017."
Monday is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day when the LGBTQ community comes together to mourn transgender people who were killed in hate crimes in the last year.
This year, 300 names were on the list, along with their age, and the date they were killed.
Members of Tucson's transgender community and UA came together to mourn and celebrate the lives lost, and to show their support for members of the community who survived.
Each name, read out loud, one-by-one.
"This year there are 325 and that means one person is murdered somewhere in the world, because of transgender hate, every day," SAGA vice-president Abby Jensen said.
Jensen said transgender people are in danger every day around the world.
"Most people don't understand the extent of the violence against the transgender community," Jensen said. "And the impact that violence has on even those of us who survive."
Floating candles, drifting in the water at UA Old Main fountain, each representing a life lost.
Jensen said this year there are more names on the list and more candles in the fountain than last year.
She said that means more violence against her community, but also more transgender people being identified correctly after their deaths.
"Well, it's bad that more people are dying as a result of violence against trans people. It's good because of the increased visibility for the trans community that more and more people are being recognized and their deaths recognized as a result of transgender hate," Jenson said. "Violence against the trans community is a tragedy."
Each year, the Transgender Day of Remembrance, a somber day that reminds the community just how much they have lost.

Affiliate marketing operator Better Collective has recently announced that their revenue has almost doubled for the first quarter of 2019, with the growth being driven by record number of new customers in the period. Revenue for Better Collective has grown by a total of 97% as compared to last year to €19.9 million, which has beaten expectations for the company, especially compared to Q1 of last year, which the company has noted was a weak quarter overall.
Revenue share deals made up for 72% of the growth the experienced, with 18% coming from cost per acquisition, and the other 10% from other sources. There were more than 116,000 NDCs that signed up over the last period, which is marked as a rise of 147% year on year, setting a new quarterly record for the company.

Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) has handed over market to government built at total cost K1.5 million for traders who lost merchandise in the July inferno.
And Mopani Copper Mines has donated K316, 000 as startup capital to traders that lost property in the inferno that gutted Buseko market in July this year.
Mopani Copper Mines Chief Executive Officer Chris Vermeulen said the permanent structure which was being handed over to government was built by Mopani and other partners as a way to try and help the marketeers who had their merchandise burnt in July this year when Buteko market was gutted.
Speaking during the handover of the newly built Malela market by Mopani Copper Mines in Mufulira, Mr Vermeulen said the move by Mopani is part of the company’s social responsibility aimed at empowering marketeers.
Mr Vermeulen said Mopani managed to collect a total of K158, 000 from partners such as contractors to help out in the construction of the market adding that the difference was donated by the mining firm.
And Copperbelt Minister Japhen Mwakalombe said government is committed to ensure that the private sector thrives by creating an enabling environment that is conducive for the private sector to participate in the economic development.
Mr Mwakalombe said the conducive environment that government has allowed has made the private sector to participate in the economic development thereby eradicating poverty in communities.
Mr Mwakalombe said Mopani has been an all-weather friend whenever government faces challenges and such a gesture will go a long way to alleviate poverty at household levels.
He said it is government desire to ensure that women especially those trading on the streets where there are no sanitation facilities are given dignity.

Importance of media literacy stressed
Though the landscape of Pakistani media — electronic and news media — in the country has expanded and dozens of Pakistani media outlets have been providing news 24/7, but to maintain authenticity and sanctity of news, it is imperative for media outlets to do fact-checking and cover the news in a comprehensive and holistic manner.
This was the main crux of the session titled ‘From passive to proactive: Promoting media literacy in Pakistan’, at the first Adab Festival Pakistan under way at the Sindh Governor’s House.
Speakers discussed various aspects of the current media landscape in Pakistan, the importance of media literacy, fake news and fact-checking and other related issues.
Former federal information minister Javed Jabbar stressed the importance of media literacy, saying that Pakistani residents had rights to access, analyse and produce information for specific outcomes.
“Pakistani media consumers should know who are shaping the media landscape, who are the owners of the media outlets, what are their current and past political affiliations and what are their other businesses,” he said.
He said that civil society organisations should come forward to help the media in increasing media literacy among the consumers.
Noted journalist Zarrar Khuhro said that the phenomenon of fake news was dangerous but the good thing was that there were ways and techniques to combat phony news and reduce the spread of fake news. “Every threat has an opportunity,” he said, saying that the trend of quality- checking in processing information had now been increasing among the Pakistan media.
Tasneem Ahmar, a journalist who founded the Uks Research Centre, said that there was a need to institutionalise media literacy within the existing education system. “Now, I think it is important to teach children about the media literacy in the school textbooks,” she said.
Senior journalist Wusatullah Khan said that to analyse fake news, it is important for media persons – whether they were field reporters, anchors or desk editors – to study newspapers and books and watch other media. Journalist Farieha Aziz moderated the session.

LAHORE: Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that the people have rejected those indulging in the politics of protest by showing indifference with untimely long marches and that the Imran-Qadri “collusion” is a conspiracy against democratic system which will never succeed.
While demanding unconstitutional government of technocrats, he said, Imran Khan was violating court decisions. Similarly, he said, demands of Qadri were also unconstitutional. He said that demand of resignation from an elected prime minister was undemocratic and unconstitutional.
He said that the people have given mandate to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for full five years and that they have proved by burying the protest, negative and confrontational politics that they would never allow anyone to create hindrance in the process of development of the country. He said that Imran Khan has got disappointed due to disassociation of the people from his long march. He said that solution of problems in a political system was always found through dialogue and mutual understanding.
According to a handout, the chief minister expressed these views while talking to a delegation of PML-N elected representatives on Saturday.
Shahbaz said that so-called revolutionaries were defaming the country and that the people know very well that who was creating chaos in the country and who was serving them selflessly.
The chief minister said that Armed Forces were fighting a war against terrorists and a conspiracy of dividing the nation has been hatched by launching these long marches. Shahbaz said that economic activities were being affected in the country due to untimely long marches and that friendly countries were also upset on the present situation.
Asking Imran Khan to leave his stubbornness, the chief minister said that insincerity of protesting elements has been exposed to the nation.
He said that negative attitudes in politics were always harmful for stability of the country and democratic system and that elements working against national interests would have to be stopped by displaying unity. He said that this was not the time for holding protests and sit-ins; rather to steer the country out of the quagmire of problems it was presently in.
The chief minister said that revolution could not be brought about by making collusion with those who committed robberies in banks and plundered national wealth in the name of development during dictatorial regime.
He said that protesting elements were in fact perturbed by speedy completion of socio-economic development projects launched by the PML-N government.
Saying that he has served the masses during the past six years, Shahbaz expressed the hope that with the support of 180 million people, conspirators would face yet another humiliation.

‘Respond’ might not cover basketball
“Currently, the production staff for the next season is collecting a variety of material that was popular among the public in the 1990s,” said a tvN official, according to a local media report. “The reports about basketball may have come out as we were collecting information on basketball and contacted some former fans of basketball stars.”
In a local report, it was said that the title for the season could be “Respond 1994” as that was a pivotal year for Seo Jang-hoon, who recently retired from basketball, and other players at Yonsei University.
“We haven’t had any consensus on season two, so we were perplexed to see reports that said we had decided on basketball,” added the official.
The first edition of the drama invited the public to reminisce about first-generation idol groups such as H.O.T and Sechs Kies. It also discussed the unique nature of local fan culture as it existed in 1997.

ILOILO CITY -- Five community ports in some islands in northern Iloilo will be constructed in 2018, according to Fifth District Representative Raul Tupas on Monday.
These community ports will be constructed in Polopiña and Tambaliza islands in Concepcion, Iloilo; and Calagnaan, Gigantes Sur and Gigantes Norte islands in Carles, Iloilo.
Tupas said that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) will fund and implement the project.
Unlike big and main ports, community ports will only cost from PHP15 to PHP25 million, Tupas said.
“These projects are in support to the program on eco-tourism in Concepcion and Carles because these are where the major islands are,” he said.
He also stressed that the community ports will be of big help to the people in the islands because it is where the small bancas will dock, especially when they are bringing tourists in.
Aside from the community ports, the port of Bancal in Carles town will also undergo rehabilitation with a budget of PHP40 million.
Tupas said that total budget for the community ports and the rehabilitation will be around PHP210 million.
The congressman assured that the projects will push through since the DOTr has already recommended the projects to the Executive Budget of the President and were already approved by the House of Representatives.
Based on the plans of DOTr, Tupas said that the projects are scheduled to undergo bidding process in the last quarter of this year. (PNA)


Herman Cain to Protesters: ‘Blame Yourself!’
Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain condemned the Occupy Wall Street protests in an interview in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, saying it was nothing but a ploy to distract the public from the “failed policies of the Obama administration.”
But while other Republicans haven’t exactly been coy about their own disdain for the protests, Cain took it a step further, saying the protesters have only themselves to blame for their economic hardships.
“Don’t blame Wall Street, don’t blame the big banks,” Cain said. “If you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself!” –BF
Wait, before you go…
The Raw Story:
When asked by host Alan Murray if he thought the banks had any responsibility for the nation’s current economical climate, Cain replied, “They did having something to do with the crisis in 2008, but we’re not in 2008, we’re in 2011!”

Sir Keir Starmer visited the Foster’s Bakery site on Wednesday and spoke to its owner, John Foster, about how the ongoing global pandemic has affected business.
Visiting on the day the government announced the country was experiencing an economic recession, Mr Starmer said he was keen to help businesses remain open in the long run.
He said: “It was fascinating to speak to John about the challenges he has faced during the lockdown months.
“The business was effectively going off a cliff because the hospitality trade had all but ceased to exist.
“My concern is that the government wants to end all support at the same time which I believe will cause more problems than it will solve.
“The bakery is dependent on hospitality and I feel we need to keep industries going to ensure jobs and business.”
The leader revealed he was worried about the news of the recession, and wanted to push the government to be ‘flexible’ in the coming months.
“Staff in the bakery were very helpful because they expressed their views,” he added. “Like most people I am worried about the recession figures and I want to know how the UK has one of the worst death rates and will be one of the worst-hit in the recession.
“Some businesses are returning to normal and some aren’t, we need flexibility from the government to ensure that good businesses remain open.”
Foster’s Bakery was established in 1952 by Emily Foster and throughout the past 68 years, the business has grown to export food across the globe and to restaurants.
John, who runs the bakery, spoke about how the company has been affected by the lockdown restrictions.
“When lockdown hit the business basically ground to a halt in three days,” he told the Chronicle. “We had people returning their orders because they didn’t have the customers and we had others who couldn’t pay for an order they had received.
“It was great having Mr Starmer here and to feel that we are being listened to about what’s happening in our industry.”
Barnsley Central MP and Sheffield City Region Mayor, Dan Jarvis, said the visit was a ‘step in the right direction’ for the Labour Party - which had its worst night in the town in recent history during the last general election - as a whole.
“I was delighted to welcome him to Barnsley,” Dan added. “I think it is important that he visits places in the town to find out how they have been affected throughout the past four months.
“Businesses like Foster’s have had their challenges but I feel that steps have been taken in the right direction to begin to help local businesses amid the current economy.”


Asked about the Prime Minister’s (PM) words on rolling back green taxes in energy bills, the PMS said the government was looking at how it would be done to an Autumn Statement timetable. There were a number of components that made up energy bills, and the government would also look at competition and profits in the market.
The Chancellor had previously said the green taxes were a burden on families and the government would do everything it could to reduce their cost in the autumn.
Asked whether the PM still wanted to run the greenest government ever, the PMS said that he did.
Asked about the situation at the Grangemouth refinery, the PMS said the government had made it clear it wanted to see what it could do to support the discussions. It was disappointing that both sides had been unable to reach an agreement. The government would continue to work with the Scottish government.
Asked whether the PM had any comment on Facebook’s decision to change its policy on violent videos, the PMS said that it was welcome and there was a continuing responsibility on firms to look at their rules and procedures.
Asked about the royal christening, the PMS said the cabinet had jointly contributed to a gift toy box and had also made a charitable donation to the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
