He was 59.Diddy's REVOLT company confirmed the death Saturday but no other details were immediately available. Harrell was the vice chairman at REVOLT.

If the bookies are right, Jeremy Corbyn is the political equivalent of a nice slice of wholemeal, browning fast. He’s toast. Smart money, supposedly superior to any opinion poll, says a Labour leader elected by a landslide will be gone within a year of his triumph.

IN dark times, begin by giving the Prime Minister a bit of credit. Unlike a certain predecessor, David Cameron has accepted that there needs to be an honest, public argument over the case for an escalated war in the Middle East.

Glasgow City Council has a keen sense, it seems, of what is or might be controversial. When the rest of us imagine that a handful of words to mark a long-distant historical event could never be more than anodyne, the council is alert to the affliction of controversy. It is a condition to be avoided at all costs.

IT isn’t often that a rousing speech on socialist internationalism is rewarded with a full transcript in the Spectator. In fact, it never happens. The Tory Party’s newsletter is funny like that.

THE Treasury has bombarded us all week with facts, figures and forecasts making the case for the UK to remain in the European Union. Its big report, on Monday, warned Brexit would tip the country into a year-long recession, resulting in up to 820,000 job losses within two years.

MSPS were really quite excited last week to be taking part in a largely symbolic vote with an entirely predictable outcome.

"Everyone hates politicians," the MSP observed. We were chatting about the EU referendum and she was explaining why the polls were showing a rise in support for a Leave vote.

It didn't take long for the list of warnings about Brexit to start coming true.

The accepted unit of measurement for long books is War and Peace. Library shelves bend and buckle under the weight of bigger doorstops, but it's Tolstoy's classic that has become the shorthand for a hefty tome.

When Theresa May declared "Brexit means Brexit," Nicola Sturgeon's response was pithy and to the point. "Remain means Remain," she said, making an apparently all-or-nothing commitment to securing Scotland's place in the EU after the country voted decisively to stay.

DOMINIC McKay, Scottish Rugby’s chief operating officer, has warned that if Covid-19 social distancing measures mean that rugby cannot resume by the end of November, the financial impact will be considerably more than the £12m lost revenue quoted by chief executive Mark Dodson in respect to the Autumn Tests not going ahead. The organisation’s total turnover last year was £61m.
