'It's a kick in the teeth' for Hastingspublished at 10:56 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2016

BBC Live reporter
The Board of Governors at the University of Brighton is expected to decide today to close its Hastings campus - despite protests earlier this year.
The university wants to withdraw from the town by 2019.
It says the current campus is unsustainable.
Instead degree courses would be offered at a "university centre" at Sussex Coast College.
One former student is calling the decision a "kick in the teeth" for staff, students and the wider Hastings community.
The politics behind the Southern rail disputepublished at 10:32 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2016
Laura Kuenssberg
BBC political editorFrom the outside in, this is a classic industrial face-off. A company wants to change how its staff work. The unions cry foul and refuse to agree.
No dispute is really ever that simple, but in the case of Southern and the rail unions, it's not even the half of it.
Why all this fuss over doors on the packed commuter lines between London and the South Coast, when agreements on the same issue have been reached in other parts of the country?
Image source, PAThe RMT is adamant this is about safety. A union spokesman says the ball is in Southern's court, and rather than "winding up the rhetoric" and threatening to ban rail strikes, a process that would take months of producing new controversial legislation, the Union says that the transport secretary needs to "get out of his bunker and drag his contractors" to the table.
But hang on, driver-only trains have been used on different services around the country for three decades. This is about power too.
One former senior minister tells me that "successive secretaries of state" in charge at Transport have wanted to "get rid of guards on trains". The ambition is to bring down the cost of rail travel for the tax payer and the train passenger.
