    Michael Gove stunned clubbers who spotted him raving in a suit on the dance floor of an Aberdeen nightspot. The Conservative Cabinet minister's arms flailed wildly along to heavy techno beats in the surprising clip filmed by a fellow clubber last night. It’s thought the 54-year-old Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, who grew up in Aberdeen, was on a summer trip to see family when he turned up at O’Neill’s at 1.15am. After last orders were called, punters urged a suited, solo Gove to join them upstairs at nightclub Bohemia, where a fellow partier said he stayed until at...

    Boris Johnson’s surprising announcement on Thursday that he would not seek the leadership of the British Conservative Party — and by extension, succeed David Cameron as prime minister — leaves five candidates for the job.

The process is expected to be completed by Sept. 9. The Conservative Party, which won a majority in Parliament last year, has a five-year mandate that lasts until 2020. But given the turmoil after voters decided that Britain...

    The cartoons all tell the same story. Whenever they depict the President of the United States the same props reinforce the same message. We’ve got ourselves a cowboy in the White House. George W. Bush is a trigger-happy, ten gallon-hatted, good ole boy who just won’t listen to his more civilized friends. Who does he think he is planning to take on the bad guys when wiser heads counsel caution? Gary Cooper? Let’s hope so. Because we are perilously close to High Noon. As the US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, pointed out on Monday night, we are running out of time...
