Tens of thousands of couples who have settled their divorces in the last 20 months may have to re-open negotiations because a critical fault has been found in software used to calculate financial terms.
The Ministry of Justice was urgently investigating the extent of the errors of “Form E” on its website which have the potential to inflate the financial worth of a wife or husband. It has published an email address – formE@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk – asking anyone who believes they have been affected to contact the department.
The fact the software had been miscalculating assets since April 2014 was only spotted earlier this month by a family law specialist, Nicola Matheson-Durrant of the Family Law Clinic in Ascot, Berkshire. The MoJ only publicly admitted the problem on Thursday.
Matheson-Durrant told the Guardian: “Having discovered the fault and advised the MoJ, it became apparent that not a single solicitor, barrister or judge in the whole of the UK had noticed this error. It is such a critical fault. This form has been used in training so it will also have been seen by paralegals, university law departments and the Law Society.”
What I would say...The Labour brand, despite Blair, despite Brown, despite Miliband, despite Corbyn, somehow manages to stagger on. Clegg killed the Lib Dem brand, the Tories brand was (and still is to some extent hence all the "silent" Tory votes) toxic, but Labour brand seems to be able to stagger on despite the terrible leaders.
When did the 'Labour brand' last win? 1974? New Labour was effectively an admission that Labour (without the new) was toxic.
The Labour brand is a byword for fiscal incontinence and all-round buffoonery. Comrade Corbyn is the embodiment of this.
For what it's worth - the Tories were polling 28-30 this time last year with Comres, ICM, Survation etc.
Can I just remind PBers that 'three-quidders' are NOT members of the Labour Party and have no voting rights in branch or CLP officer elections, council election candidates, etc. Only full-on entryists can have any direct influence over who leads or represents the party at local level. In some places, they are having such an effect.
So how come they keep sending me emails then?!
Just had one purporting to be from Jeremy (actually from theteam@labour.org.uk).
TSE an info site that does not protect the original entries and allows unsecured editing is really not worth the space..Nothing in there can really be relied upon...a bit like the Dandy or Beano as far as verity is concerned..an internet comic..Best keep away..
Some folk on here doubted that the tax filing changes would have any impact until 2017 and then not much extra to do. Reality is that 1 million will have to comply right away. Madness.
" More than a million wealthy savers preparing to file tax returns in coming weeks will become guinea pigs for the Government’s new “digital tax accounts”, it has emerged. Under plans to phase out annual tax returns, the Government wants to give every individual a permanent internet account. Around one in eight of those going online to complete self-assessment forms between now and the January 31 deadline will be used to trial the new system. Once they enter their passwords and other log-in details they will be redirected to a new website where some of their information – such as income earned through employment - has already been filled in. The selected taxpayers will typically have more complex affairs and multiple sources of income." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/tax/12049777/Wealthy-taxpayers-made-to-use-new-online-service-from-now.html?j=1570814&e=trevorc@pwsllp.co.uk&l=346_HTML&u=26055099&mid=1062735&jb=0

He's been arrested on securities fraud charges - shame, as he's such a nice guy...
Where he's going, he might need those HIV drugs
You reckon he might be sharing a cell with the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, who's looking for a new "girlfriend?"
They take securities fraud very seriously over there.
I read a publication a few years ago, about the rights of Prison guards in the US because of the high levels of HIV in the prison population, and the safe guards they have to take.
IIRC the US Prison population is six or seven times more likely to have HIV/AIDS than the average US population.
There is a lot of anguish today in the GOP, after Paul Ryan signed a budget deal with the democrats with hundreds of billions of extra spending, the headlines going around republican websites are like these: http://www.drudgereport.com/
Congress' half-trillion dollar spending binge... Increases deficit by hundreds of billions... MEETS OBAMA PRIORITIES... Funds 'climate' deal... Planned Parenthood PRAISES... Makes it 'harder to repeal Obamacare'... 'Cybersecurity' bill hacked in... Conservatives give pass on deal they despise! SESSIONS: THIS is why voters in 'open rebellion'... AMERICAN WORKER SOLD OUT... Includes $1.6 billion to resettle illegals INSIDE USA...
That will make republican voters even more angry with their own party leadership, I think this is the analogy of the Benefits reform vote during the Labour leadership race (a big mistake that allowed Corbyn to win in a landslide).
Just look at the images of what fracking does to the landscape. Clean- really? Sounds like you are a lobbyist.
The Tory party used to take it's role in protecting the environment seriously. The protection of the green belt, outlawing badger cruelty and so forth.
Now it largely comprises of squalid, sordid, unpleasant, money obsessed, scumbags really.
Actually I woke up quite chipper, but was brought down with a bump by the Today show which reported matter of factly the Tory misdeeds without any kind of critique.
The drive for fracking, including the green belt and the cuts to subsidies for renewables are just astonishing, brutal and without any kind of regard for the environment or for future generations. It just represents cynical, lobby influenced politics worthy only of the tea party.
Scum- that's the kindest word I can think of for our Tory rulers.
Nice to see your priorities.
Have you thought about buying your own drilling rig? It would be the perfect investment for a parasitical rentier, now that Osborne's put the brakes on any future expansion of your Buy to Let empire.

PS Read further, and it's really not good to be black and male in the US prison system
You really really don't want to go to prison in the USA. The authorities seem to treat rape as just another part of the punishment.
It seems to be part and parcel of the US prison system. Probably intentionally. " Don't drop the soap " is a horrifying cliche directed at goal-bound yanks.

The GOP has slipped the CISA cybersecurity bill in there, so that offends the left and the libertarian right. The US government will store people's web and phone history forever (although to be fair, they seem to have been doing that anyway).
It’s not just that Jeremy has moved Labour politics back to the 1980s – it’s that the Corbynites who have crawled out of hiding since then have brought back all the abhorrent political language and casual misogyny of that period.
It will eventually be their own undoing as sane people turn against it.
Immigration officers have given up trying to find more than 10,000 asylum seekers who are missing in Britain, a watchdog has revealed.
Staff are not even checking last known addresses because it is “not a priority” and a “drain on resources”, the chief inspector of borders and immigration found.
Illegal immigrants have also been allowed to abscond after being released from custody because there are no beds available in detention centres.
And more than 30,000 failed asylum seekers are still in the UK more than two years after all appeals against removal were exhausted, the report said.

Given the huge sums of money often at stake I'm amazed nobody manually checked the calculation rather than just accepting the figure automatically generated.

Surely there's more to that story - why are criminals facing deportation allowed to be released from prison except into the hands of those who will escort them out of the country? A lack of co-ordination between Justice and Home departments?

Paul Ryan seems incredibly wet for a Republican. How is he getting away with supporting the Democrats on so many policies?
It goes back to Alistair Meeks' article a couple of days ago. The Guardian loves to pretend that our police go round gunning down people from ethnic minorities, or beating them to death in prison cells, when in reality there's zero evidence for it.
But, absence of evidence will never outweigh a good prejudice.

No matter how complicated the calculation there should have been a lot of testing done on the software before it got to production - including all the edge cases which make software go funny sometimes. This should be known by anyone competent who's ever deployed software into a business and is called Quality Assurance.
The occasional bug will almost always make it through, unless you've got the QA budget of a NASA, Boeing or Airbus - where software kills people when it fails.
But this isn't an occasional bug, it's a fundamental and replicable flaw in the software mathematics that's been around for a couple of years - and used by thousands of people who should have been checking the outputs against the inputs!

Look at the Guardian's uncritical fawning over Shaker Amer this week for another example of their mindset - the poor man that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, who just happened to have harmlessly associated with a bunch of terrorists, who was completely innocent and lost years of his life in Gitmo because of Evil 'Mericans etc etc...

If there is a by election in Telford I will go on record as saying I would expect UKIP to do pretty well... a strong second at least
I would expect a Labour gain. UKIP would be badly squeezed by the two big parties fighting intensive campaigns.
Hopefully we will get to see! Would be an interesting heat
I backed UKIP at 25s I think at the GE.. they doubled their vote share but were a long way back in 3rd. Maybe different in a by election Tory scandal shame/Corbyn Labour

Police firearms officer suspended after shooting gangster dead is now ARRESTED
What the hell is going on?
Also...
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Terry, the senior officer leading post incident, said: 'This is an independent investigation being carried out by the IPCC, and they are accountable and responsible for it.It is absolutely vital that the facts of what took place are thoroughly established, as quickly as possible.
'Our first thoughts are with Mr Baker's family at this difficult time as they await the outcome of this investigation.
This makes me sick...what about the police officer and his family? I am sure he didn't go to work that day thinking well I will just blast somebody for a laugh...and the guy who got shot, not exactly an upstanding member of the community.

I believe the phrase is 'near perfect'. If it buggers up his chances of becoming the next leader, so much the better.
The way the IPCC / process of this shooting is being played out, even if the officer is found to have done nothing wrong, there will now be loads of doubts in the same way as in the case of the gangster Mark Duggan.

Fundamentally, what is wrong with HMRC's new online system?
(wrt fracking plenty of Cons MPs are instinctively against for NIMBY reasons but realise there is no substantial reason to oppose a cleaner source of energy with a reasonable footprint)
Yes, we read about nasty lefties on social media, but on PB it's always been a section of the right who turn personally nasty if one doesn't agree with them.
But it's good to have unreasonable opponents. It's the reasonable ones you have to wory about. They might be, you know, right about something. :-)
So there is mounting evidence that the local Tory MP is not exactly a very nice person. This is the second incident in 2 weeks that Lucy Allan is involved in, first she falsifies evidence against a constituent and now this. The press seems to have got wind of her terrible personality:

Nice little bit of slander you've got going on with the second link trying to suggest that makes her unfit when she was the victim. Just like she was the victim with the death threats.
Blame the victim mentality at the absolute worst. There is nothing you won't stoop to is there?

Well Telford is a very white constituency, but it doesn't have a lot of pensioners, it's in the West Midlands though which is a Tory heartland, though less than the East Midlands. With almost half the residents there on a mortgage, it's pretty middle class.
I say the chances for a Tory hold are 60-65% in a by-election, but it will tell us precisely the national picture. In the GE though, I suspect that Lucy Allan will cut a few points off the Tory share there, if of course she is still the local candidate.
But until then, she is probably going to generate a lot more bad front pages for the Tories.

I disagree with your prediction should there be a by-election here anytime soon. Governments tend to underperform at by elections in relation to national poll standings - even when there is no hint of scandal in the background. Labour by 5000+ I would expect.

Mass fracking licenses, sweeping cuts to renewables, and fixing the upper house to ensure that it is rendered useless. Another day of Tory rule. Further, they have cleverly put a noose around the neck of the BBC and perched it precariously on a rickety stool to ensure that it remains quiet for the foreseeable.
The Tories and their cheerleaders are lowlife scum- people impressed by money, making money, and protecting people with money.
Fracking is great news, well done the govt as is cuts to renewables. The sooner the tv licence fee is abolished the better.
I'm by no means pro tory but credit where its due
Irrespective of government support, there will be no fracking - beyond a few exploratory wells - while the price of oil is below $100.
It simply does not make economic sense at the current oil price.

So there is mounting evidence that the local Tory MP is not exactly a very nice person. This is the second incident in 2 weeks that Lucy Allan is involved in, first she falsifies evidence against a constituent and now this. The press seems to have got wind of her terrible personality:
So I suspect that we are going to see a lot more front pages involving her in the future.
The woman is only disciplining a member of her staff who went AWOL - perfectly reasonable behaviour. If one employs staff or servants one gets these kinds of problems. For example, I've given my gardener Christmas Day off; that's only fair. However, there was some talk off his not coming in on Boxing Day too, even though I wrote that into his contract. If he doesn't I shall regard it as gross insubordination and sack him immediately. I certainly won't grant him the courtesy - as this MP did - of trying to establish his whereabouts for days on end!

So I see you're operating on a guilty before proven innocent standard here?
Nice little bit of slander you've got going on with the second link trying to suggest that makes her unfit when she was the victim. Just like she was the victim with the death threats.
Blame the victim mentality at the absolute worst. There is nothing you won't stoop to is there?
If you only said that when the press was hounding Corbyn. However you did not, so enjoy your bad frontpages involving your people for a change.
No you numpty if you'd bothered to read the Daily Mail link it was very sympathetic to Allen yet you deceptively chose to pretend it was a piece of nastiness "in her past". That is you being disgusting not the press.
Mass fracking licenses, sweeping cuts to renewables, and fixing the upper house to ensure that it is rendered useless. Another day of Tory rule. Further, they have cleverly put a noose around the neck of the BBC and perched it precariously on a rickety stool to ensure that it remains quiet for the foreseeable.
The Tories and their cheerleaders are lowlife scum- people impressed by money, making money, and protecting people with money.
Fracking is great news, well done the govt as is cuts to renewables. The sooner the tv licence fee is abolished the better.
I'm by no means pro tory but credit where its due

Nuclear power takes a decade or more lead time to get constructed.
This has potential to become a massive worldwide scandal encompassing some very well known names. A football style wikileaks site is currently data dumping large amounts of data which relates to a particular party involved in this case.

Labour was last night in chaos as Jeremy Corbyn ditched a key policy to stop paying migrant workers benefits as soon as they arrive in Britain.
On a visit to Brussels, the leader said immigrants with jobs 'should have access to the same benefits as everyone else'.
But his shadow home secretary Andy Burnham insisted Labour's manifesto pledge to make EU migrants wait two years before getting benefits such as tax credits was still the party's policy.

I've just completed a You Gov poll which may well be for this Sunday Times.Usual stuff except there were questions relating to the various candidates for the next Tory leader ie when should Cameron go? Do you prefer Jezza to Osborne or Jezza to Johnson-only those 2- for next PM?and specific questions on Osborne,Johnson,May or Javid's relative merits.Headline possibly "Boris has far better chance of beating Corbyn than Osborne".Rupert would approve.

Well this is a Lord A poll, so it's junk. However you did your calculations wrong, only 61% of the undecideds think leaving is a bigger risk, so you have to multiply the 14% with 0.61 before you add the result to IN. So it will be IN 46.5 OUT 53.5.

Funnily enough, I was reading a Speccie article about it this morning. About two thirds were right.
The examples they quoted as particularly erroneous all had roughly the same size of error. I haven't bothered to look at the half dozen examples, but I bet there's a pattern in there.
Amusing. Chancellors struggle with popularity don't they, even when, as in this instance, the PM is in full accordance with them,
Indeed but I think Osborne is Brown to Cameron's Blair, however unlike Brown he is lucky in that he does not have to face a Cameron but an IDS
George Osborne will Never Be Prime Minister, though he may well feature in the membership vote.
If Osborne stands he will probably get it, Chancellors normally succeed the PM in power, against a Chuka Umunna, Dan Jarvis or even Andy Burnham he may have had problems at the election, against Corbyn and probably Hilary Benn he should win one term

It is not accurate to say that ' Chancellors normally succeed the PM in power'.. Since World War 2 there have been three examples of the Chancellor moving next door to No 10 - Macmillan - Major - and Brown. On three other occasions the PM was succeeded by his Foreign Secretary - Eden - Home - and Callaghan (also a former Chancellor). Macmillan and Major were not toxic at the time and went on to win an election. Brown had become toxic and lost. Osborne is probably at least as toxic as Brown.I also believe that Hilary Benn would prove a far more formidable opponent to him than Burnham.- and indeed more so than Howard proved to be against Blair in 2005.

Callaghan, as you say, was a former Chancellor, so 4/7 of those who became PM from an incumbent party were Chancellors or former Chancellors so I believe my point holds. Remember too that 2020 is actually the equivalent of 2005, ie the third election for the incumbent government not the 4th like 2010 and even Brown would have beaten Michael Howard in 2005 (he only became toxic after the 2008 crash). Corbyn is basically a Labour IDS, Benn a Labour Howard, he might provide Labour with a modest recovery as Howard boosted the Tory total a little but I would expect Osborne to still lead the largest party

" More than a million wealthy savers preparing to file tax returns in coming weeks will become guinea pigs for the Government’s new “digital tax accounts”, it has emerged.
Under plans to phase out annual tax returns, the Government wants to give every individual a permanent internet account.
Around one in eight of those going online to complete self-assessment forms between now and the January 31 deadline will be used to trial the new system.
Once they enter their passwords and other log-in details they will be redirected to a new website where some of their information – such as income earned through employment - has already been filled in.
The selected taxpayers will typically have more complex affairs and multiple sources of income."

Staff are not even checking last known addresses because it is “not a priority” and a “drain on resources”, the chief inspector of borders and immigration found.
Illegal immigrants have also been allowed to abscond after being released from custody because there are no beds available in detention centres.

Given the huge sums of money often at stake I'm amazed nobody manually checked the calculation rather than just accepting the figure automatically generated.
But, absence of evidence will never outweigh a good prejudice.
The occasional bug will almost always make it through, unless you've got the QA budget of a NASA, Boeing or Airbus - where software kills people when it fails.
But this isn't an occasional bug, it's a fundamental and replicable flaw in the software mathematics that's been around for a couple of years - and used by thousands of people who should have been checking the outputs against the inputs!

With almost half the residents there on a mortgage, it's pretty middle class.
I say the chances for a Tory hold are 60-65% in a by-election, but it will tell us precisely the national picture.
In the GE though, I suspect that Lucy Allan will cut a few points off the Tory share there, if of course she is still the local candidate.
But until then, she is probably going to generate a lot more bad front pages for the Tories.
However you did not, so enjoy your bad frontpages involving your people for a change.

It not happening despite making economic sense is when there is a problem.
