While Lord Tebbit, the Thatcherite former cabinet minister, accused the Government of 'serious errors', the message from the centre-left, whose favoured candidate, Kenneth Clarke, is battling against a bad Budget press, was that it was better to keep Mr Major as Prime Minister - even if he went on to lose the next election - than to have a damaging leadership contest.Amid reminders of his uncompromising handling of the Maastricht rebellion, the belief is growing that that Mr Major would not 'go quietly'. Her mother, Joana, was diagnosed with leukaemia when she was 22, just over five years ago. From most people this would sound prissy, self- serving and 'unco guid' as the poet Burns picturesquely expressed it.

Particularly strong on technology, engineering and design subjects, although emphasis expected to change to include more human interest. Then ensued a time of sheer incredulity; the Britain that seemed always to have been run within certain moral limits was vanishing so rapidly that its outlines were already blurred, its details already forgotten.

The players appear to be favouring the Times bid, even though it is lower.Several disturbing questions remain unanswered:Why, if the London Chess Group bid was considered suspect, was Matthew Patten, who headed the consortium, never told of any queries or doubts about the validity of his figures?Why did the Times say that the players had accepted their bid, when all they had signed was an agreement to negotiate exclusively with the Times for 14 days?Why was Nigel Short so furious when he learned that the Times had issued a statement about the agreement? Was it because, as Keene says, 'He may not have totally understood what he signed', or was it, as sources close to Short indicate, that the players had an unequivocal agreement not to publicise anything until the contract had been finalised?Why did the Times, on the strength of its own announcement that it had won the match, contact London Forum, part of the London Chess Group consortium, to ask for their support? Why did Times representatives contact another major backer of the London Chess Group? 'They phoned us,' said Keene of both these initiatives, but Janie Joel, communications manager of London Forum, was adamant: 'No,' she said, 'the Times phoned us.'Lastly, why, if the Times's own bid of pounds 1.7m is so solid, is it sniffing so eagerly at the doors of other sponsors before the contract is signed with the players?The deal will no doubt be done, and the match will go ahead, and Nigel Short, even on the loser's share of the purse, will be much richer.
