The Government's flagship ID cards scheme suffered an embarrassing setback when a bank refused to accept one as proof of identity.

Penn State University has completed its internal investigation into potential wrongdoing by its star professor Michael Mann, creator of the most discredited graph in scientific history – the incredible, completely made-up Hockey Stick.
And guess what? Turns out the guy hasn’t done anything wrong at all.
Well, probably. There’s one area, the University has decided, which merits closer investigation:
