Labour MP Clive Lewis Has Apologised For Swearing In The Commons During Rwanda Debate
Clive Lewis tried to become Labour leader in 2020.A Labour MP has apologised for swearing in parliament during a debate on Rishi Sunak’s flagship Rwanda bill.Clive Lewis was initially warned he faced “severe consequences” after being accused of directing his language at one of the Commons doorkeepers.However, he escaped punishment after insisting his outburst was “directed at no one in particular”.The incident happened as MPs were voting on the Safety of Rwanda Bill.Deputy speaker Sir Roger Gale told the Commons: “Before we proceed, I am informed that a member swore at one of the doorkeepers this evening, who on my instruction locked the doors.“If that person is identified, the consequences will be very severe.”Shortly afterwards, Lewis, the MP for Norwich South, said: “I put on record my apologies to the chair, to members, and to members of staff for an earlier outburst that I had.“Let me very quickly explain. I received a message that caused me some consternation and surprise, to which I made an outburst in general at no one specifically. If I could do it again, I probably would have said something like ‘my giddy aunt’, rather than what did come out of my mouth, and for that I apologise.“To clear the air, I put on record the fact that it was directed at no one in particular.”Sir Roger said he welcomed Lewis’ “candour in identifying himself and the fullness of his apology, which is accepted”.MPs voted to overturn 10 House of Lords amendments to the Rwanda legislation last night.The bill will now return to the Lords, where the government will battle to prevent it being amended again by peers.Related...MPs Reverse Lords Amendments To Rwanda Deportation BillRwanda Scheme Will End Up Costing Taxpayers Billions Of Pounds, Claims Think TankTory Plans To Pay Failed Asylum Seekers Up To £3k To Move To Rwanda Slammed As 'Brainless'

End of an era as Japan ends negative interest rates – business live
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsJapan raises interest rates for first time since 2007Bank of Japan governor Kazuo Ueda is briefing reporters in Tokyo now about today’s interest rate decision.Ueda points out that the move will only raise short-term interest rates by 0.1%, and pledges that the BoJ will “increase bond buying nimbly” if it sees a sharp rise in long-term rates.I don’t think deposits or lending rates will rise sharply from today’s decision.“We reverted to a normal monetary policy targeting short-term interest rates, as with other central banks. We will choose the appropriate level of short-term rates in line with our economic and price outlook. But in doing so, we need to be mindful that there is some distance for inflation expectations to reach 2%. When we focus on this gap, it’s necessary to maintain accommodative monetary conditions even under a normal monetary policy framework.”The Bank of Japan lifted rates for the first time in seventeen years while also dialling back its asset purchases and scrapping its yield curve control program. Despite swaps implying that – at best - five points of the 10-point hike was baked into the market, the reaction was limited, if not slightly paradoxical.The Yen slid, and the Nikkei popped, the latter taking its lead from the former, which arguably has been sold after a build-up in long positioning going into the event. Nevertheless, the meeting was one of the market’s great non-events, although there could still yet be a response when European and US markets come online. Continue reading...

Aya Nakamura is a proud Black woman. Is that why she’s not 'French enough’ for the Paris Olympics? | Rokhaya Diallo
She is the world’s most listened-to French-speaking artist – but in France, hostility towards her goes beyond the far rightSince the start of her career, Aya Nakamura has faced setbacks, discrimination and harassment every step of the way. Nakamura is a music superstar. She is the most-listened-to French-speaking artist in the world, and the only woman to feature in the country’s top 20 best-selling albums of 2023. Her 2018 hit Djadja has reached almost 1bn listens on YouTube, and in 2021 her second album surpassed 1bn streams on Spotify. When she announced two concerts at the legendary Bercy arena in Paris last year, tickets sold out in 15 minutes – unprecedented for a French-speaking artist.Yet from shows where presenters struggle to pronounce her name to public debate about the unorthodox way she uses the French language, the French-Malian singer can, it seems, never be judged solely on her music.Rokhaya Diallo is a Guardian Europe columnistDo you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

In the company of wolves and kings: Suffolk’s new medieval cycle trail
The Wolf Way – a magnificent, not too hilly, cycling route – takes in the county’s myths, market towns and Gainsborough landscapesIt was an inauspicious start. Having cycled no more than a few metres, from the steps of the Angel hotel into the grounds of St Edmundsbury Cathedral, I fell off my bike.I blamed the wolf: in dismounting to take its photo, I had kicked my own pannier and sent myself sprawling. The good passersby of Bury St Edmunds came to my (embarrassed) aid. Saint Edmund himself, sculpted in bronze, standing beside the wolf statue, looked the other way. Continue reading...

The House of Hidden Meanings: A Memoir by RuPaul review – poignant, egotistical and often wise
In a witty, highly entertaining memoir, the drag queen turned TV star recounts his journey from homelessness to the dizzying heights of fame via the punk scene – and a snub from MadonnaThere is a moment at the end of every series of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the Emmy-winning drag queen reality competition, in which the glamorous host asks the finalists to address their younger selves with words of advice and encouragement. No matter how many times you have seen this happen (since its inception in 2009, there have been 16 US seasons, 20 international editions, eight all-star versions and two celebrity spin-offs), watching the contestants open up about their darkest days remains an astonishingly effective emotional suckerpunch, precision-tooled to wrest tears from the eyes of even the most jaded viewer. In The House of Hidden Meanings, it’s RuPaul Charles’s turn to look back and take stock of his own life, from finding himself homeless in California to posing backstage at Versace surrounded by supermodels.It is a memoir that is by turns shocking, poignant, fantastically egotistical and often wise, punctuated with equal amounts of LSD-inspired epiphanies as hard-won lessons about sobriety and personal growth (complete with mantras). Each sentence is recognisably in RuPaul’s voice – arch, funny, given to epigrammatic pronouncements – distilling the cadences and assorted pop culture references that have come to characterise his TV persona. We learn the origins of some of his favourite phrases (“Why don’t you pick one up and smoke it sometime?” comes from a Mae West-inspired 60s cigar advert), as well as the influence of role models such as Diana Ross and the “unapologetically rebellious” Cher.

Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret review – Jesus was a vegetarian and other entertaining tosh
Unsupported assertions and gormless naivety drive this mishmash of pseudoscience and manipulated religious doctrineClearly scheduled to give vegetarians and vegans ammunition to shame carnivorous family members around the Easter and Passover dinner table, this passionate but unpersuasive documentary argues that Jesus was probably a vegetarian. Ultimately, the theory gets largely traced back to the apocryphal Gospel of the Ebionites, a text that’s been around since the second century; director Kip Andersen, however, makes a whole song and dance out of “discovering” this notion in a roundabout way, making for an entertainingly barmy quest. By the end, we’re informed that scientists have found the supposedly “happiest human on Earth”: a vegan Buddhist monk named Mateo Richard who spends most of his time meditating on compassion and has “high-amplitude gamma activity” in his brain which means it “fires on the highest levels”.This particular mishmash of pseudoscientific buzz words is delivered via a montage of rostrum shots showing visually highlighted bits of text while an awestruck voiceover from Andersen himself synthesises the ideas. Before we can even absorb this information, the film skittishly moves on to the next notion that all the greatest thinkers in history were vegetarian. Leonardo da Vinci supposedly bought up all the chickens in his local market and then released them into the woods, which would have made the local foxes happy if no one else. Continue reading...

But instead of a full car licence, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issued her with one for a moped. She has never ridden a moped in her life.She assumed this was an administrative error and complained.
