AnswersAnswers
  1. It was Darren Gough, who was phoned by the prime minister and asked if he would stand as Conservative candidate in Barnsley Central. He said he was too busy but would help the campaign.
  2. It's the votes for prisoners. MPs voted overwhelmingly to oppose the move, in defiance of a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights. The coalition announced new criminal orders to tackle yobs and there were protests over library closures.
  3. It's the second option. She took the second line, "What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming," and changed it slightly. The correct fourth line she intended to sing, as all American schoolchildren know, is the first option above.
  4. It's the bottom. The film began shooting in London and promises to chronicle Margaret Thatcher's rise to power. Jim Broadbent will co-star as husband Denis.
  5. It is Kenya, where women announced a ban on sex in 2009 to try to force a political settlement. Talks between Flemish and French-speaking parties on a coalition have been deadlocked since June, and Belgium is now close to the world record for failing to form a government after an election.
  6. It's dinner lady. Carol Hill was dismissed from Great Tey Primary School in Essex after telling a parent that his daughter had been bullied in the playground.
  7. It's the cow. Russia will from next autumn stop putting its clocks back in winter. President Dmitry Medvedev said prolonged daylight would be healthy for all, and cows would adjust to being milked at a different time.
