Ministers were accused of betraying British workers today as a £1.6billion contract for Royal Navy support ships was handed to a consortium that will carry out work in a Spanish dockyard. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace today announced the Team Resolute consortium including Navantia, the Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company, was the preferred bidder to construct three Fleet Solid Support (FSS) vessels. A judge slammed a blundering barrister for turning up at court in Newport in Wales - when he should have been 150 miles away for a case in Newport on the Isle of Wight. Lawyer Brad Lawlor had travelled from London after being drafted in to pick up the case from a colleague after reading it was in Newport. Michael Sheen appears to have taken yet another swipe at Prince William by sharing a clip of Welsh children cheering Gareth Bale and the national team before they left for Qatar after he ignited a row over whether the new Prince of Wales should have done the same. SPANISH Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez held second meeting this year with Samsung executives, this time during his official visit to South Korea on November 17. This follows a meeting held in Madrid on August 31 as Sánchez wants help to grow the new tech industry in Spain whilst Samsung has not only the technology but looks to receive a sizeable chunk of the European Recovery Funds allocated to technology. Party hotspot Malaga is set to ban inflatable sex dolls and blow-up penis costumes in a huge crackdown on stag and hen parties. The southern Spanish city has become a tourist favourite thanks to cheap flights and a buzzing nightlife - but now locals are set to come down hard on crude antics. New legislation passed in France this week, by President Emmanuel Macron, insisted that all large car parks must be used for the installation of solar panels. This move comes as part of the French government’s drive for the use of renewable energy. According to The Guardian today, Sunday, November 13, this new law passed by the French Senate applies to car parks – either existing or when planned to be built – with a capacity for 80 vehicles. Caving in to nurses’ wage demands would hike their average annual pay to more than £46,000, a Mail on Sunday analysis reveals ahead of their strike.The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) wants a 17.6 per cent rise, claiming a 20 per cent cut in real-terms pay since 2010.But figures provided by NHS Digital show the average pay for qualified nurses in England has reached £40,147.This comprises basic salary of £35,841, plus extras for shift work, overtime and living in a pricier area worth £4,306. A former teacher will face misconduct proceedings almost a year after she was jailed for a 15-month 'affair' she had with a schoolgirl. Aimee Jones, 36, admitted sexually touching the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in the back of her car months after she initially approached her victim at school. Teesside Crown Court heard how she told the teenager she was bisexual and that she was 'having feelings of attraction towards her'.A woman has sparked an online debate after saying stay at home wives and mothers are often the target of vitriol - prompting some to say they would be 'devastated' if their offspring chose not to work.
