The timing of this is interesting, isnt it . He has been a key character really within the government. Yes, ever since the Eu Referendum lord adonis has been an outspoken critic of brexit, he has launched a number of attacks on the government over the way in which it has taken the uk art of the Single Market and the customs union. To some degree his resignation is no surprise. His Resignation Letter is much of the same, a real thai raid against the government is handling against the government is handling against brexit. In it he says theresa may is a lying with ukip and the hard right. So, will damage theresa may . It is the second such resignation in less than one month, we saw alan milburn resigned, the head of the social mobility commission, so it could make it harderfor her to say commission, so it could make it harder for her to say that she is able to create cross party co operation in the Centre Ground.

Younger people will enjoy the biggest inheritance boom of any post war generation thats according to the think tank the Resolution Foundation which analyses Living Standards. Those born in the 80s will have to wait for the windfall, though the study estimates that the average age that millennials will inherit something will be 6 years old. Heres more from our Business Correspondent joe lynam. Young people aged between 17 and 35 hoping to get the housing ladder could be set to inherit a lot of money from their parents. But it may come too late for some. According to the Resolution Foundation, the value of inheritances is set to double over the next 20 years, thanks to baby boomers aged between 50 and 70 leaving behind expensive property. But the think tank says the average age someone inherits is now 61, meaning too late for many of todays house hunters. Across the piece, theirfinancial situation, their Living Standards picture for millenials is quite concerning. Theyre earning less than those 15 or 10 or 15 years before them were at the same age, they are much less likely to own a home, and while they may be saving into a pension, it is much less likely to be one of those gold plated final salary pensions, so in the round, quite a concerning picture for far too many millenials today. So, 17 to 35 year olds inheriting more money than any previous generation will only be able to use it in their old age, or by passing it onto their own grandchildren. If the cold weather has got you thinking about summer sunshine, theres a warning today from the Consumer Group which . That holiday firms may be misleading consumers.

As weve been hearing, the list of new years honours has been revealed and one of those to receive a cbe is martin green, the man responsible for organising hulls year as the uk capital of culture. Well speak to martin in a couple of minutes. First, heres our arts correspondent Colin Paterson with a look back at hulls year in the spotlight. Capital of Culture Capital of culture started its year as capital of culture with a magical fireworks, a crowd told me how thrilled they were. Honestly you put some money into that, it makes london look like nothing. The Opening Event turned joint buildings into screen showing the history of the city. Come on, come to hull. They were off, at least one cultural events took place every day, and is now at the end of the gear, people dont want it to be over. Ive lived here for 73 years. Has there ever been a year like this . Never. The most exciting. It was fabulous. More than 1 Million People saw the blade, a giant wind turbine turned into a 75 metre sculpture. So popular a permanent home has been found for it. I wished to communicate with you transformed the Housing Estate into a work of art. And katy perry visited for radio ones big weekend. There was a lwa ys radio ones big weekend. There was always on the entertaining about the huge American Star saying hello to somewhere unlikely. Lets go, hull she didnt disappoint. The turner prize was held in two and any seat and listed the local Primary School as critics. It looks like a potato. But there are those who think chances have been missed and worry about the future of grassroots art in the city. Small Community Theatres group and the like, and i feel they have been slightly overlooked. So where does hull go from here to try to build on the momentum, the company who ran 2017 01 momentum, the company who ran 2017 or continue to put on events. We still want to be ambitious and groundbreaking and do things which can track International Media so we will do fewer things but i dont think there will be any less significant. Hull had always been the city at the end of the line. 2017 it became a destination of choice. And the man responsible for hulls cultural year, martin greenjoins us now from our edinburgh studio. We will talk about why you are in edinburgh ina we will talk about why you are in edinburgh in a moment, but first congratulations. Hard as it feel to have those three letters after your name . I am totally chuffed. To have recognition for doing the job you love is extraordinary, and more importantly, i take it as a National Recognition for the city of hull and all the people who have taken part and really turned out and supported what has been a fabulous year of change for the city. A mantle to ta ke change for the city. A mantle to take on, to transform a city, or at least projected into the spotlight. What are the highlights being for you, in terms of the year of culture, the city of culture for huu . Culture, the city of culture for hull . The key highlight has been the people of the city. The whole year has been owned by them. They have participated. We have had 2500 volu nteers participated. We have had 2500 volunteers working with us. We have worked with 55,000 young people, in 101 schools. It has been a really people based experience, of them really finding and celebrating the voice of the city. On top of that there has been the events from local artists, the extraordinary year that the ferens art gallery put on, up to the ferens art gallery put on, up to the showbiz of bbc radio ones big weekend, and a wonderful turner prize, where we have seen some of the biggest audiences for the turner prize ever. What would you say, if somebody hadnt been to hull ray couple of years, say they last went in 2014, if they came back now, what would be the biggest difference they would be the biggest difference they would notice . This city has had a massive makeover by the city council, in its public realm. It has refurbished the gallery. It has refurbished the gallery. It has refurbished the gallery. It has refurbished the new theatre. In legacy, they have a £27 Million Programme to refurbish the maritime heritage. Lots to see in the future. Iam heritage. Lots to see in the future. I am particularly thrilled, also, at the leader of the council and john pie well, being honoured today with obes, pie well, being honoured today with 0bes, because city s five or fail from great government and this is a city council which has taken some bold decisions in what are very hard times. You will find a great city reborn with great energy, and again, brilliant people. We are seeing pictures of the start, when it was all announced and hull came a city of culture. For you, what were the Biggest Challenges . You have expectations, you have dreams, but they are not always easy to achieve. No, and the key thing starts with being able to afford what you want to do. We were able to raise a lot of money locally and through the National Lottery and the government, and that really allowed us to have ambitious dreams. So without Opening Event, yes, we did fireworks, because who doesnt love a fireworks . But that seven day projection piece by sean mcallister, a wonderful documentary filmmaker, 342,000 people went through that over seven days. I think that was a moment where i stood there and thought, i think we are onto something here. There is an alchemy when culture and place comes together and i think if the approved something once again it is how important culture is to the lifeblood of our cities, Howard Springs people together and how it helps people come together and express themselves. How it brings people together. I have lots of other and other cities have been watching us. Coventry is taking the baton in a couple of years. What advice would you give to the team behind that now . It is really simple. Do it your way. Hull behind that now . It is really simple. Do it yourway. Hull did it its own way. Hull has an individual, unique personality, as to all cities. The main thing is that look to anybody else for any blueprint or any way that it is done. It is to do it your way, with your voice and your
