Brimington Christmas Party Goes with a Bang
Paul Holmes MP attended the 3rd annual Brimington Community Group Christmas party this weekend. Organised by Chair of the group John Di Iorio along with Damian Carlile and David Smith, the event was a huge success with all those who attended. Children from the local schools were invited along with their parents so no-one missed out on the fun. Santa was even on hand again to give out gifts and take last minute requests for presents. Paul Holmes said 'Yet again the Group have done an excellent job organising the party. Everyone was in good spirits and feeling festive. The kids love this event and they all left with a smile on their faces again this year.'

Bali Environment Deal 'Score Draw not Victory" say Liberal Democrats
Delegates at the UN summit in Bali have agreed a deal on curbing climate change after days of bitter wrangling. Agreement was reached after a U-turn from the US, which had wanted firmer commitments from developing countries. Environment groups said they were disappointed by the lack of firm targets for reducing emissions. The final text does not mention specific emissions targets, but does acknowledge that "deep cuts in global emissions will be required to achieve the ultimate objective" of avoiding dangerous climate change.

Clegg welcome rejection of Terror detention extension proposals
Government attempts to rally support for an extension of police powers to detention without trial from 28 to 42 days received a further blow from MPs and peers. The joint Lords-Commons committee on human rights said in a report that evidence from the Crown Prosecution Service that it was satisfied with the present limit "seems devastating to the government's case for an extension". Its verdict came less than 24 hours after a similar verdict in a report from the Commons home affairs select committee, that there was as yet "no evidence" for the limit to be increased. Only six of the 71 formal submissions to ministers have been in favour of extension.
