Interesting knotty problem coming on devolution...
As the IFS briefing points out, letting mayors keep more of their tax receipts that means either...
A) Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland getting less in Barnett Formula as those tax receipts aren't going into the Treasury then back out again any more
--OR--
B) Ensuring devolved nations still get the money... which means other parts of England not getting money from, say, a booming London and Manchester but Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland regions benefitting.
Both can't be true. So either devolved nations lose out or other parts of England lose out.

The guidance recommends replacing āgendered job titlesā with āgender-neutral terms wherever possibleā. Members should say āchairā instead of āchairmanā, āpolice officerā instead of āpolicemanā and āparents and carersā rather than mothers and fathers.

Friends and family have spent years trying to track him down, discovering that he had been in a London care home under an alias but then the trail went cold. Cards and letters are returned unopened.
Fiennes's inner circle have now asked the Telegraph to investigate "the extraordinary final chapter" in the life of Britainās greatest living explorer ā¬ļø
