I’ve blogged before about the lack of understanding among Cornwall Council’s Conservatives about what localism means. I am concerned at their centralisation of decision making in Truro and lack of understanding that a lot of decisions are better taken by the communities they affect. But the central planning mindset of the Tories also extends to Government. Today we see the news that Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles is scrapping plans to introduce ‘pay as you throw’ schemes to charge householders for the amount of rubbish they throw away.

Martina Navratilova’s breast cancer revelation is the latest in a long line of very public battles.

Traditional Cornish band Fisherman’s Friends have landed a £1m record deal from Universal after 15 years of local gigs For 15 years they have been entertaining locals and visitors in the pretty Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac with their traditional songs of loss and longing. But now a group of fishermen is going global after landing a £1m record deal that could take their repertoire of sea shanties to the top of the charts. The Fisherman’s Friends has secured an album deal with Universal, the company behind acts such as Lady Gaga, Take That and Amy Winehouse. Their 10-strong group, which also has a date at the Glastonbury Festival, will issue an album of traditional tunes and folk songs next month. The deal follows a wave of unusual album hits for music company Universal in recent years which have included releases by the Fron Male Voice Choir and the Coldstream Guards
