Thousands are paying nursing home fees that the NHS should cover. The European Union is to announce the effective nationalisation of Bank of Ireland within the next 48 hours after a weekend of crisis meetings between finance ministers and angry public demonstrations across Europe. The respected Goldman Sachs chief who correctly predicted the rise of the BRIC countries says the eurozone must begin fiscal and political harmonisation if the single currency is to survive. BoE policymaker Andrew Sentance says it time for interest rates to rise gradually because the global and UK economy has bounced back more strongly than expected and the inflation outlook has changed markedly. The number of jobs forecast to be cut in the public sector – 490,000 – is set to be lowered by 90,000 after better than expected economic growth figures and higher tax returns.Councils stop elderly from getting help
