David Craig casts a critical eye over Rachel Reeves's career, suggesting that her exits from the Bank of England and HBOS may not have been entirely voluntary. Was she pushed, or did she jump?

Global temperatures are falling, oceans are cooling and the 'Hottest Year Evah' narrative is unravelling faster than a fact-checked Guardian article, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

R.I.P. Fr. Larry Rosebaugh draft board raider, anti-war resister, Oblate missionary shot to death

in Guatamela

For those who knew him and knew of him we are shocked and saddened by the killing of Larry in Guatamela. Larry served the poor in the streets of the U.S. and at the bloody edges of the empire.....El Salvador, Brazil, Guatamela. His nonviolent resistance was steadfast from the draft board raids of the Vietnam War to the School of the Americas at Ft. Benning and many places between.

I came to know Fr Larry Rosebaugh in 1968 when we were part of a group
of fourteen people, mainly Catholic priests or members of Catholic
religious orders, who protested the war in Vietnam, and the
involuntary conscription of young men into that war, by burning draft
records that we had taken from offices of the Selective Service System
in Milwaukee.

None of us had any military obligation. Two of us, Doug
Marvey and myself had served in the US Navy and been discharged. One
of the group was a professor of economics teaching at the University
of Notre Dame. Another was a Benedictine monk. Perhaps the most humble
member of the group was Fr Larry Rosebaugh. I don’t know if in my
entire life I have known adult as gentle and humble or more committed
to serving the poor.

Yesterday, at age 74, he was shot dead in
Guatemala. Reports indicate he was shot by a “carjacker,” others think
he may have been targeted for assassination. All we can say for
certain is that he was killed yesterday and today is being buried.

Eternal memory!
