Lords Diary: Lord Clement Jones
Down the corridor in the Commons, early November was dominated by No 10’s Owen Paterson U-turn and in Glasgow by events at COP26 – but for me it was an opportunity to raise a number of issues relevant to innovation and the development of technology and the future of our creative industries. It started with the great news that Queen Mary University of London, whose council I chair, after many trials and tribulations, has agreed a property deal next to our Whitechapel campus with the Department of Health and Social Care. It paves the way for the development, with Barts Life Sciences, of a major research centre within a new UK Whitechapel Life Sciences Cluster.

Is Remembrance Sunday set in stone?

Is Remembrance Sunday set in stone?
The Cenotaph service and parade in Whitehall on the Sunday closest to 11 November is the UK’s most important annual symbolic ceremony. It evokes the image of Britain standing alone in two world wars. High commissioners from Commonwealth countries play a marginal role, and a scattering of veterans from other countries participate in the concluding march past. But by and large this is a purely British event, with rituals and music passed down over the last century.

Cutting red tape for train firms will help decarbonise our railways
Great herds of world leaders, climate change activists and media crews are all converging on Glasgow at the COP26 climate summit, like one of nature’s great animal migrations, to try to save the planet. There will be lofty speeches, lots of scrutiny of who emits the most carbon on their trip, and a fair bit of finger-pointing at people who don’t practice what they preach – or are full of hot air.
