Paul Lainchbury, the “missing” Tory councillor for Goldsmid ward in Hove (The Argus, May 4), may have stopped taking money from the council in January, but that begs two questions. First, why did he claim over £21,000 of taxpayers’ money for no work

I've looked in my box of superlatives but I can’t find one up to expressing the ride in a fast machine that was the Tacacs Quartet’s performance of Bartok’s Quartet No 4. Written in the 1920s, it sprung as if newly minted like an angry lion hungry for

IT really is a complete no-brainer. The question is not so much whether Russell Slade should get the manager’s job on a permanent basis, more why has he not been given it already? The answer is that decision-making at Boardroom level
