After 104 years, one of the remaining bastions of male domination came tumbling down yesterday as the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) appointed its first woman captain. Swimmers today won their High Court battle with “the nanny state” over “the right to take risks” and bathe in a natural pond on chilly winter mornings. A 29-year-old woman who was arrested with the man has been eliminated from the inquiry and released without charge.. He said: “The incident room has been flooded with information, much of it needing to be followed up and my team has been constantly working to work through these actions.”It is still unknown whether the attack was random or an attempted robbery – the woman’s cash was not stolen.A 28-year-old man whose car was reported near the crime scene was questioned for 30 hours at the weekend but was released on bail on Saturday night.

When Mrs Witchalls was admitted to hospital on Wednesday doctors did not expect her to survive.Detective Superintendent Adrian Harper, of Surrey Police, said: “I am very pleased for Abigail and her family that her condition now appears to be stabilising and that she is able to communicate with them and us.”Members of my team are now in the process of taking a statement from Abigail about what happened. It is not yet clear if she will recover from her injuries or whether her unborn child survived.Doctors at St George’s hospital, in Tooting, south London, where Mrs Witchalls is being treated, told Surrey Police the victim was strong enough to give detectives a statement.The young woman’s condition was described as “stable” yesterday. Apart from her son Joseph, Abigail is the only person who saw her attacker and the information she may be able to give us will be crucial to our investigation.”Both Abigail and her family have handled the terrible situation in which they find themselves with enormous dignity and courage, and I believe that Abigail will want to give us all the help that she can to find the person who attacked her.”Det Supt Harper said that more than 300 members of the public had contacted the inquiry room, providing several leads. She is believed to be the only person, apart from her son, to have seen the attack.The part-time teacher was stabbed in the back of the neck leaving her paralysed.

He says: “I’m renouncing Tony Blair, the Devil, New Labour and all their works I don’t do this lightly. Sixty per cent of people, and 58 per cent of Labour supporters, want to see the troops withdrawn by then, and only 19 per cent disagree.Although ministers have raised the prospect of a “timeline” for withdrawal, they insist the decision is a matter for the Iraqi government and will depend on how quickly its own security forces can assume full responsibility. There seems little prospect of that happening by the end of the year.The findings will encourage the Liberal Democrats, who have called during the election campaign for the Government to work toward pulling out British servicemen and women by December.Two years on from the Iraq conflict, it seems that it remains unpopular with many voters. The interview, which is being carried out by two women detectives, is being recorded on video.The young mother is thought to have whispered to a neighbour, before she lost consciousness, that the assailant was a white man who she did not recognise. A mother left paralysed and unable to speak after she was stabbed in the neck has given police details of the attack using her facial expressions. He says that Mr Blair is “loathed” by many Labour candidates fighting to retain their seats. “Among the MPs there are 150 who loathe him and another 50 who have grave doubts about him and another 200 who love him.

Mad Dog Reid will be set on me.”Mr Sedgemore breaks the silence among disillusioned Labour MPs who want Mr Blair to step down as soon as possible. Alastair Campbell revealed in a weekend memorandum that Labour could be hit hard by voters refusing to turn out.Welcoming the defection, Charles Kennedy, the Liberal Democrats’ leader, said: “It is not surprising that he finds himself at this election in greater sympathy with Liberal Democrat policies rather than those of Tony Blair’s Labour Party.”Mr Sedgemore, 68, urges wavering voters to “give Mr Blair a bloody nose”. But there will be fears in the high command that his call to voters to back the Liberal Democrats could mobilise dissenting voters against the war, and tip the balance against Labour in marginal seats. That is when I decided enough was enough.”For some of us it’s not just about the war, it’s about top-up fees and privatising the health service We were going to issue a joint statement.

After that, he lied to persuade the country to support him.”The stomach-turning lies on Iraq were followed by the attempt to use the politics of fear to drive through Parliament a deeply authoritarian set of law-and-order measures that reminded me of the Star Chamber. But Mr Sedgemore , who has been a Labour Party member for 37 years, yesterday blamed the Labour Party’s policies on Iraq for his decision to join the Liberal Democrats.Writing in The Independent, Mr Sedgemore says: “I voted against the war on Iraq and it becomes clearer every day that Blair decided to go to war after meeting Bush on his Texas ranch in 2002. A prominent Labour politician will announce today that he is defecting to the Liberal Democrats in protest at Tony Blair’s “lies” over Iraq. There is a real question about whether the British people can trust him as well.”. There is nothing more serious than taking our country to war.And if you are going to do that most serious thing, as Prime Minister the one thing, above all, you have to be is straight with the British people.”He said there was “a question of character and trust” over Mr Blair’s use of the intelligence on Iraqi weapons: “Mr Blair’s character is an issue in this election. And I also think it was extremely foolish to go to war without a plan.”Mr Howard said he thought the Iraq war was “probably” legal. But he told The Boulton Factor on Sky TV: “I would have taken it in full to the Cabinet I would have had a full cabinet discussion on it.
