A Tory MP backing plans to devolve some income tax powers to Wales without a referendum has said he does not expect the chancellor to reverse his decision.

BBC Wales revealed five Welsh Tory MPs have urged George Osborne to reverse the announcement, made in November.
They said the policy change was "disrespectful" and breached the Conservatives' 2015 election manifesto.
But Cardiff North MP Craig Williams said there was no "big row" and AMs needed "some fiscal responsibility".
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb has said devolving income tax powers would mean "better government for Wales".
Some of the MPs opposed to the move hope to raise the issue at a meeting with Mr Osborne on Wednesday.
The five - Byron Davies, Chris Davies, David Davies, James Davies and David Jones - have written to him on the issue
"This is a line in the sand for many of us," one MP said.
Another said it would be "very embarrassing" for the Conservative UK government if almost half of the party's 11 Welsh MPs were to vote against the measure.
The letter said that during the general election campaign Tory candidates "were able to reassure people that the assembly would not get tax raising powers without the consent of the people of Wales".
"To drop the commitment to a referendum would put us in breach of a clear manifesto commitment," it continued.
The Welsh Conservative manifesto for the 2015 general election made reference to an "expectation that the Welsh government will hold a referendum on income tax powers".
The five MPs said people in Wales should not be "treated differently in this respect from the people of Scotland, who did have a separate vote on the issue of tax varying powers" in the 1997 referendum on devolution.
"We frankly feel that to impose such powers without a referendum would be disrespectful to the Welsh people," they added.
Mr Williams responded: "You're going to have cases with business rates being devolved to areas like Manchester, where Manchester City Council might have more fiscal responsibility than the entire Welsh nation," Mr Williams said.
"It's about time they [the assembly] had some responsibility for income of money as well as spending it on their pet projects."
In December, Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said he thought public opinion was "fluid" on the matter, but there were "very, very strong reasons for why we need to press ahead" for Wales and the Welsh economy to get stronger.
Splits within the Welsh Conservative group in Cardiff Bay on the devolution of income tax led to the party's leader Andrew RT Davies sacking four members of his front bench team in February 2014.
They were re-instated in the summer.
Mr Davies said he would use income tax powers to take 5p off the higher rate and 1p off the basic rate in Wales if he was first minister.
A spokesman for the Welsh Conservatives said: "The position of the UK government and chancellor is very clear on this matter and we have long called for the Welsh government to be more accountable for the money it raises and spends."
A Plaid Cymru spokeswoman said: "This latest development shows the Tories' true colours when it comes to empowering Wales.
"They support transferring substantial powers, including policing, to English cities without a referendum and yet are trying to block Wales having powers over small proportion of income tax which could be of benefit to the Welsh economy."


This Saturday it will be 70 years since Japan's Emperor, Hirohito, publicly accepted the surrender terms of the key Allied countries in World War Two.

It signalled Japan's capitulation and the end not only of the war in the Pacific, but also of Japan's colonial rule of the Korean peninsula, its influence in South East Asia and its attempt to dominate China and the Asian mainland.
With Japan's conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe planning to issue an official statement reflecting on the past, this year is a particularly sensitive anniversary.
Progressive critics, inside and outside Japan, worry that Mr Abe's statement may downplay past apologies in favour of a "revisionist" historical interpretation that will antagonise Japan's neighbours, most notably China and South Korea.
Hirohito's remarks that day were unprecedented.
Pre-recorded on a phonograph and delivered in rarefied, classical Japanese, they shocked a Japanese populace, which was unprepared for the possibility of surrender or defeat and had almost certainly never heard their divine head of state speak in public.
The country was still on a war footing.
That was despite the near total destruction of Japan's navy by July 1945, a policy of economic strangulation that had imposed massive material hardship on ordinary citizens, the firebombing of major cities, and the atomic devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August.
The cathartic impact of the emperor's words allowed the public to embrace the once alien concept of defeat.
The statement was also a necessary means of forcing consensus on a fractious Japanese political and military elite, some of whose members were determined to fight to the last.
Hirohito's acceptance of defeat, which was backed by his senior ministers, almost failed in the face of an abortive coup by young army officers who were trying to stop the imperial broadcast from going ahead.
For an emperor mindful of the impact of America's "new and most cruel bomb", surrender (even if he chose not to use the term) was a means of avoiding the total destruction of Japan and further civilian casualties, and revealingly, the possible "total extinction of human civilisation".
The end of the war prompted jubilant celebrations in Europe and the US.
In Korea it led to a similar outpouring of optimism as Koreans experienced their liberation from 35 years of Japanese colonial rule.
Koreans also saw the brief establishment of a progressive Korean People's Republic in the south of the country.
However, such optimism was short-lived, as US forces intervened to establish an American-led military government in September 1945, while Soviet forces created their own dependent government in the north of a peninsula increasingly divided along geographical and ideological lines.
Ironically, the Americans turned to former Japanese colonial administrators to handle the civilian administration of Korea, a decision that made Koreans deeply sceptical of US intentions, reinforcing the belief (still present to this day) that Korea's interests take second place to those of more powerful states.
Japan's defeat had profound and in some ways contradictory consequences for the East Asian region and the wider post-war world.
It facilitated a US-led seven-year occupation of Japan that, in its first two years, promoted democratisation and demilitarisation.
Japan established a new identity of anti-militarism, aversion to nuclear weapons and a focus on economic development that ultimately produced the high-speed miracle years of the 1960s.
More controversially, the continuing occupation, especially from 1948, reflected the onset of the Cold War in East Asia.
US policy makers worried about ideological divisions within Japan, the growing ascendancy of Mao's communist forces in mainland China and the Soviet presence in Japan's "northern territories" (the Kurile islands occupied by the Russians in the closing days of the war and still held by Moscow to this day).
Japan, as America's most important emerging ally in the region, became bound into the strategic and ideological conflict between the communist and Western blocs, but in a manner that, some critics contend, fatally limited its autonomy and policy-making independence.
From the vantage point of 2015, the 15 August anniversary is a reminder that Japan under Prime Minister Abe is still confronting difficult strategic challenges that echo those of 70 years ago.
These include a Russia that is unwilling to cede territory to Japan, and a still-divided Korean peninsula but one in which North Korea is now a de facto nuclear state and therefore a more threatening power.
Compared to 1945, China is a much more powerful actor able, through its more assertive maritime presence, to challenge the territorial possessions of its neighbours in the South China and (in the case of Japan) East China Seas.
Hirohito characterised Japan's decision to go to war as an attempt to "ensure Japan's self-preservation and the stabilisation of East Asia".
Controversially, he also pointed out that there was no intention "to infringe upon the sovereignty of other nations or to embark on territorial aggrandisement".
While past Japanese prime ministers have acknowledged the suffering that Japan caused its neighbours during the Pacific War and expressed their "remorse", there are some conservative voices in Japan who identify with the sentiment embodied in Hirohito's August 1945 statement.
To them, Japan's past actions were neither aggressive nor illegitimate, and they have been lobbying Mr Abe to reflect this alternative interpretation in his own, contemporary statement.
It remains unclear to what extent the prime minister shares these views.
Given the historical sensitivities involved, any expression of such conservative views would invite condemnation from China and South Korea, as well as from progressive opinion within Japan, at a time when the Abe administration is seeking to pass new legislation to enhance the strategic flexibility of its self-defence forces.
For these reasons, as well as the need to avoid antagonising its US ally, which has called on Japan to avoid inflaming historical tensions, the government is likely to tread carefully.
History, it seems, is anything but an academic matter.
Mr Abe will need to be agile in pursuing a pragmatic foreign policy agenda while maintaining the support of his more conservative allies at home.

We heard a rumour - and, for once, it turned out to be true: the original line-up of Bananarama have reunited.

Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward were the biggest girl band of the 80s, scoring hits including Venus, Shy Boy and Love In The First Degree.
Although they scored 10 top 10 hits, the trio never toured before Fahey quit to form Shakespears Sister in 1988.
The split was acrimonious, but the members recently reconciled and have announced a 15-date UK tour for winter.
"This is the first time we've performed live together - with the exception of getting onstage with a cassette when we were 18!" Woodward told BBC Radio 2's Chris Evans Breakfast Show.
Speaking about their reconciliation, Fahey said: "I was really touched because it wasn't for any other reason than we love each other and really loved what we did.
"These were my formative years. I never thought it would happen again."
The band's website crashed shortly after the tour was announced on Monday morning.
Formed in 1979, the band took their name from two of their biggest inspirations: the Roxy Music song Pyjamarama and kids TV show The Banana Splits.
They got their first taste of chart success by providing backing vocals for the Fun Boy Three on the single It Ain't What You Do, It's the Way You Do It.
A couple of months later, Fun Boy Three returned the favour for Really Sayin' Somethin, a cover of the 1965 Velvelettes song that was the first of Bananarama's 26 UK chart smashes.
They went on to sell more than 40 million records, with their biggest-sellers including Robert De Niro's Waiting, Cruel Summer and I Heard A Rumour.
After establishing themselves as a self-made band, they hitched their wagon to Stock Aitken Waterman's "hit factory" for the 1987 album, Wow.
Fahey, who was a huge fan of The Smiths, was not keen on the group's new direction and, after marrying Eurythmics star Dave Stewart and moving to LA, she left the band.
Dallin and Woodward found a replacement, Jacquie O'Sullivan, who re-recorded some of Fahey's vocals, and the band played their first ever live shows.
O'Sullivan lasted three years, since when the band has continued as a duo, recording new material while touring the nostalgia circuit.
"The worst thing was that, after Siobhan left, Sara and I then did the world tour without her," Woodward told Chris Evans.
"We had tried to do it while we were together all as a threesome, then I got pregnant while we were rehearsing.
"And Siobhan got pregnant the second time we were planning on going on the road, so for some reason it never happened."
The UK tour kicks off at Glasgow's SEC on 12 November, with tickets on sale today for fan club members, and Wednesday for the general public.
According to a press release, it will be a one-off - but Woodward hinted there may be other plans afoot.
"The tour is the main thing," she said. "But we have talked about doing a single together, which would be good."

A Cardiff city centre bar was forced to close its beer garden for several hours on Monday after "thousands" of bees "descended from nowhere".

Customers at The Yard on St Mary Street were ushered inside and a sign was put up that read: "Please use side entrance. Bee Aware!"
A beekeeper was called who was able to coax the queen bee into a hive, and eventually the others followed.
Pub manager John Muldoon said nobody was stung during the incident.
He said: "This swarm of bees descended from nowhere. There were thousands and thousands and thousands of bees.
"I managed to get hold of the beekeeper and he was happy enough to come down and spend a few hours here.
"Everybody who was inside had a front row seat as they could watch the exhibition."


China says its land reclamation work in the South China Sea is "totally justifiable" as it has "sovereignty" over the area.

Its foreign affairs ministry spokesman Hua Chunying was responding to a BBC report which documented China's construction work in disputed waters.
The Philippines has accused China of illegal building in the area.
China is locked in a dispute with several countries over maritime claims in the South China Sea.
The BBC report by Rupert Wingfield-Hayes said China was building new islands on five different reefs.
He and his team documented Chinese work to dredge tonnes of rock and sand from the sea floor to pump into Johnson South reef in the Spratly islands, which are also claimed by Manila.
At a daily press briefing on Tuesday, Ms Hua was asked by the BBC why China was reclaiming land.
She responded: "We have answered this question many times before, and I suppose you must be fully aware of China's position."
Using the Chinese name for the Spratly islands, she added: "China asserts indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and the adjacent waters, and China's activities on relevant islands and reefs of the Nansha Islands fall entirely within China's sovereignty and are totally justifiable."
Asked whether the reclamation was for commercial or military use, Ms Hua replied that it was "mainly for the purpose of improving the working and living conditions of people stationed on these islands".
When the BBC pointed out that the land masses were new, Ms Hua declined to elaborate further, saying: "I have already answered your question."
The works appear to have been going on for months.
In May the Philippines released photos appearing to show Chinese land reclamation on Johnson South reef, saying China appeared to be building an airstrip.
Aside from the Philippines, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan also have competing claims with China over various islands, reefs and shoals in the region.
Separately, relations between China and Japan are also currently under strain over a territorial row involving islands in the East China Sea.


League Two side Crawley Town have signed Crystal Palace defender Christian Scales on a youth loan deal.

The 18-year-old left-back, who is yet to make his debut for the Eagles, will be with the Reds until 2 January.
Scales joined Palace last season and was promoted to their development squad towards the end of the campaign after impressing for the under-18 side.
He becomes Crawley's 12th signing of the summer transfer window, and their third loan acquisition.

UK retail sales fell 0.5% in March from February, dragged down by a 6.2% fall in sales at petrol stations, the Office for National Statistics said.

Excluding petrol, sales rose 0.2% in March, against a 0.6% rise in February, which has been revised down from an initial estimated of 0.7%,
For the first three months of 2015, sales rose 0.9%, down from 2.2% in the first quarter of 2014.
The figures show consumers are still cautious about spending, analysts said.
Keith Richardson, managing director for retail at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said: "Even with continued falls in fuel and food prices, consumers are responding to this current period of uncertainty by being just as careful about their own spending as they have been for the past few years.
"Despite the fact that Mother's Day fell in March and Easter fell early in April, this wasn't enough to bring forward any boost in spending into March, doing nothing to allay fears that while consumers may have a little more money in their pockets, they are spending it on leisure treats like eating out and going on holiday, rather than on High Street goods," he said.
UK economic growth figures for the first three months of 2015 are due to be published next week. Economists said the retail data could herald slower growth.
Alan Clarke, at Scotiabank, said: "The monthly data all point towards sluggish Q1 GDP next Tuesday, not the sort of reading that the coalition government will be hoping for."
But Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said that although the retail data was "disappointing", wage growth and low inflation should bolster consumer spending over the coming months.
"Despite March's weaker-than-expected performance, the prospects for retail sales and consumer spending look bright, as purchasing power has strengthened and should continue to do so," Mr Archer said.


Sweden's state-owned train operator SJ is to stop services to and from Denmark because it cannot carry out identity checks demanded by the government to stem the influx of refugees.

Under a new Swedish law, transport companies will be fined if travellers to Sweden do not have valid photo ID.
SJ said it would not have time to check people travelling between Copenhagen and Malmo over the Oresund bridge.
Sweden has received about 150,000 asylum applications already this year.
The government has secured a temporary exemption from the European Union's open-border Schengen agreement, in order to impose border controls.
About 18,000 people commute to work daily across the bridge, Radio Sweden reports.
SJ said all services between Denmark and Sweden would be suspended from 4 January when the new law comes into force.
"Our planning of the introduction of ID border checks in Copenhagen before the departure of SJ trains bound for Sweden has shown that we are currently unable to carry out ID checks in accordance with the requirements of the new law in the amount of time allowed," the operator said on its website.
It added it had chosen to "cancel its departures until there is a working solution in place".
Oresundstag, another train operator which runs a Sweden-Denmark commuter service, said it would remain in operation after 4 January but scale back rush-hour traffic to allow time for the checks, according to reports.
One million migrants have arrived in Europe by land or sea in 2015, the International Organisation for Migration says.
Along with Germany, Sweden is one of the main destinations of choice - with some 150,000 applying for asylum in 2015.
In contrast, Denmark expects to receive about 20,000 asylum seekers this year.
Last week a Danish government proposal to seize asylum seekers' valuables to make them pay for their stay drew sharp criticism in international media.


England suffered their first defeat in 16 games as they were beaten by European champions Spain.

Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick had a night to forget, as did a few more of Roy Hodgson's side.
So how did England's players fare overall? Chief football writer Phil McNulty runs the rule over the players on duty.
England's captain for the night was a reassuring presence, commanding his area and he could do nothing about either goal.
No major errors in defence but not really able to influence affairs further forward with his pace. Still very much Nathaniel Clyne's understudy. Not international class.
Good night for Bertrand and was one of England's few attacking threats in the first half with a couple of surging runs and good crosses. Did his case no harm.
Battled gamely against Diego Costa, who was eventually substituted, but still carries an air of panic and surely not a Euro 2016 starter.
Improving all the time and looked the part again here. Slowly but surely stepping up his claims to start in central defence in France next summer.
Utterly anonymous and posed further questions about his ability to influence games at this level. So important for Manchester United but his England career has been a missed opportunity and was carried off on a stretcher late on.
Busy night for a player who has been sidelined with hamstring injuries since his move to Manchester City. Industrious but largely ineffective.
Undistinguished night for the Liverpool midfield man. Gave the ball away too often and occasionally lightweight in the physical exchanges.
Not as impressive as against Estonia and Lithuania as this was a real step up in class - but showed some first-half flashes that hint at his genuine quality.
Busy but his control often let him down at key moments. Still a work in progress at this level and England will hope for more ahead of next summer
Fed off scraps all night but never stopped working and almost got on target with a rasping shot just wide. Kane is a real contender to start up front for England at the Euros.
Came on as Spain exerted their dominance so little opportunity to impress.
Same applies to Dier as it does to his Spurs team-mate Alli - almost an easing-in debut and time for judgement will be in the future.
Thrown on with the game going away from England. Peripheral .
Not on the pitch long enough to warrant a rating.
Neither was Shelvey.


Donald Trump made a string of promises during his long campaign to be the 45th president of the United States.

Many of them made headlines - from banning all Muslims entering the US, to building a wall along the border with Mexico.
But as he and his White House team approach the 100-day mark of his presidency, it is clear he has shifted his stance on a number of key issues.
Before: As a candidate, Mr Trump derided climate change as a hoax concocted by China, and the regulations of Paris as stifling to American growth.
After: After three months of prevarications behind the closed doors of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the president came down decisively on the side near the exits. Quitting the Paris deal, signed by nearly 200 countries, will take a few years but this is unequivocally a promise kept.
Before: One of Mr Trump's trademark rally pledges was to repeal and replace Obamacare - his predecessor's attempt to extend healthcare to the estimated 15% of the country who are not covered.
It is widely hated by Republicans, who say the law imposes too many costs on business, with many describing it as a "job killer" and decrying the reforms - officially the Affordable Care Act - as an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals.
After: Within two days of his election he softened his approach, saying he wanted to keep the "strongest assets".
Then the House Republicans put forward a plan, which the president fully backed, but it was mauled by doctors' groups, hospitals and other parts of the medical industry. The government's own budget office said it would strip insurance from millions of Americans, and its approval rating among the public sank. The Democrats opposed it and several wings of the Republican party were uneasy. It was passed by the House of Representatives but the Senate has said it will rewrite the bill from scratch.
Before: His vow to build a wall along the US-Mexican border was one of the most controversial of Mr Trump's campaign promises.
Mr Trump also insisted that Mexico would pay for it.
After: Mexico maintains it will never pay for it, and even the president has conceded that the US will have to pay up front and then seek reimbursement in some way.
The US Congress is exploring funding options for the wall, but many Republicans will be unhappy about footing a bill which could rise to $21.5bn (Â£17.2bn), according to a Department of Homeland Security internal report.
That's much higher than Mr Trump's estimated price tag of $12bn (Â£9.6bn).
There are also landowners who protest against a "government land grab" - and a lawsuit from an environmental group launched in April.
"We're building the wall," he said in February. "In fact it's going to start very soon."
Before: Mr Trump called Nafta "a disaster" and warned that the TPP "is going to be worse, so we will stop it."
After: Mr Trump pledged to withdraw from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). He did in his first few days.
And he vowed to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Association (Nafta) and, after threatening to pull out, the White House has said that Canada and the US have agreed to talks.
Before: Mr Trump initially promised to ban all Muslims entering the US - a "total and complete" shutdown should remain until the US authorities "can figure out what's going on".
But he switched to "extreme vetting" after he became the party's presidential candidate.
After: As president, he has introduced two travel bans, which have both become ensnarled by legal challenges. The second was a slightly watered-down version of the first, but a judge in Hawaii said barring people from six mainly Muslim countries, even temporarily, violated constitutional protections against religious discrimination. Another judge in Maryland cited Trump campaign statements as evidence.
President Trump has railed against "judicial overreach" and hinted that he may take the case to the Supreme Court, but has said little on the matter in a round of media interviews this week.
Five questions on the revised travel ban
Before: Mr Trump repeatedly told his supporters that every single undocumented immigrant - of which there are 11.3 million - "have to go".
After: As polling day approached, his stance began to soften slightly, then after the election he scaled it back to some two to three million deportations of people who "are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers".
The Migration Policy Institute, a US-based think tank, has one of the higher figures for illegal immigrants with criminal records, which it puts at 890,000, including people charged with crossing the border illegally.
The number of removals peaked in 2012 and has been falling since. It is too early to say if there has been an increase since President Trump's inauguration.
Reality Check: Is deporting of 'bad dudes' at record rate?
Trump voter's husband faces deportation
Before: Mr Trump repeatedly questioned the military alliance's purpose, calling it "obsolete". One issue that bugged him was whether members were pulling their weight and "paying their bills". In one New York Times interview in July 2016, he even hinted that the US would not come to the aid of a member invaded by Russia.
After: But as he hosted Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House in April, the US president said the threat of terrorism had underlined the alliance's importance. "I said it [Nato] was obsolete," Mr Trump said. "It's no longer obsolete."
Before: During a speech in Iowa in November 2015, Mr Trump warned that he would, using an expletive, bomb so-called Islamic State into obliteration.
After: The president dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal on an IS-stronghold in Afghanistan.
At the site of the Mother of All Bombs
Before: Mr Trump repeatedly pledged to label Beijing a "currency manipulator" on his first day in office, during an election campaign when he also accused the Asian powerhouse of "raping" the US. China has been accused of suppressing the yuan to make its exports more competitive with US goods.
After: He told the Wall Street Journal in April that China had not been "currency manipulators" for some time and had actually been trying to prevent the yuan from further weakening.
Before: "I am looking for judges and have actually picked 20 of them. They'll respect the Second Amendment and what it stands for and what it represents."
After: He vowed to appoint a conservative justice and he has - Neil Gorsuch. It took a procedural change to Senate rules, but it's a victory nonetheless.
Before: Mr Trump said he would approve waterboarding "immediately" and "make it also much worse", adding "torture works".
After: But after his inauguration, the president said he would defer to the opposing belief, espoused by Defence Secretary James Mattis and CIA director Mike Pompeo.
Mr Pompeo said during his confirmation hearing said he would "absolutely not" reinstate such methods.
Before: "Lock her up" was one of the main rallying cries of Mr Trump's supporters.
They wanted to see Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in prison over the use of her private email server while secretary of state.
And Mr Trump was more than willing to back their calls for, at the very least, a fresh investigation. During the debates, he told Mrs Clinton: "If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation."
After: The president-elect's tone changed almost as soon as he had won, describing the woman he had said was "such a nasty woman" as someone the country owed "a debt of gratitude". Later, he said he "hadn't given [the prosecution] a lot of thought" and had other priorities.
On 22 November, Mr Trump's spokeswoman said he would not pursue a further investigation - to help Mrs Clinton "heal".
Before: The country's infrastructure "will become, by the way, second to none, and we will put millions of our people back to work as we rebuild it", he said in his victory speech in November.
After: Has repeated his vow to spend big on the country's roads, rail and airports, but no sign yet of action.
Before: Mr Trump pledged during his campaign to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a divided city which both Israelis and Palestinians claim.
After: He approved a waiver to keep the embassy in place, but suggested in a statement that it would be eventually relocated. "The question is not if that move happens, but only when," the White House said, adding the decision was taken in order to "maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians".


Football fans who missed kick-off after queues built up at AFC Bournemouth's ticket booths have blasted the delay as an "absolute farce".

Some supporters said children were crying outside the ground and many fans gave up and went home, missing the team's EFL cup clash against Preston North End on Tuesday.
The club said queues were caused by a high number of people buying tickets for the first time.
It said the process would be reviewed.
Posting on Facebook ahead of the game at the Vitality Stadium, Dave Crawford said: "We are stuck outside waiting to collect pre-paid tickets. 45 mins queuing so far.
"Will we get in by half time? It's an absolute farce."
AFC Bournemouth fan Sam Davis said: "It was absolute mayhem - I gave up. I can usually pick up my ticket within about two or three minutes.
"It was a disgrace, I saw kids crying walking away with their dads.
"It was a gargantuan match and it was a chance for new fans to start supporting the team."
AFC Bournemouth said the club "very much appreciates supporters' patience on this matter".
The club said it had made "every effort" to advise supporters to pre-purchase and collect their tickets as far in advance of the match as possible and to arrive early to avoid queues.


Six public libraries will receive grants from the Welsh government to pay for improvements.

Ministers announced more than £2m in the latest round of funding as part of a programme to modernise libraries, archives and museums.
The libraries to benefit are Canton in Cardiff, Cwmbran, Morriston in Swansea, Bridgend, Newtown and Haverfordwest.
They will share around £1m of capital funding to modernise their ageing facilities.
Another £1m will be spent on measures to encourage more public involvement in museums, libraries and archive services across Wales, as well as projects to put archive material online.
Wrexham Library Service will be given £230,000 to co-ordinate all-Wales campaigns and activities to boost community interest in the services.
Culture and Sport Minister John Griffiths said: "Our museums, archives and libraries provide free or low cost access to a wealth of resources and activities that can make a real difference in improving people's lives, especially families on low incomes.
"These grants will create modern, dynamic cultural and educational hubs in our communities for all to enjoy."
The Welsh government said the funding takes the number of sites that have benefitted from its Community Learning Libraries Programme to 89.
However, it comes at a time when library services in some parts of Wales are under threat from cutbacks by local councils.


A Glasgow-based fitness equipment supplier has been bought by one of Europe's biggest specialist retailers.

Powerhouse Fitness, which has nine stores across the UK, was acquired by Germany-based Sport-Tiedje Group for an undisclosed sum.
Sport-Tiedje currently runs 30 home fitness equipment stores in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark.
The company said it would retain the Powerhouse brand name and staff.
Powerhouse Fitness, which is the trading name of Laidir Leisure Ltd, was founded by David Webster in 1980 and opened its first store in Glasgow in 1987.
It now has outlets in London, Glasgow, Nottingham, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle and Leeds.
In the financial year to June, the company had a turnover of Â£22m.
Sport-Tiedje chief executive Christian Grau said: "Our company philosophy is to offer our customers the best product for them with the best service and at the best price-performance ratio and we will continue to do this in the UK."


A 24-hour watch has been put in place on osprey nests in southern Scotland after a suspected egg theft attempt.

National Trust for Scotland Countryside Rangers are monitoring the site on the Threave Estate near Castle Douglas.
On Monday evening a member of the public spotted a man in full climbing gear making for the ospreys' tree-top nesting platforms.
When he was challenged, the man ran away. Later, fresh vehicle tracks were found in the vicinity.
The incident was reported to the police.
The site has been host to ospreys every year since 2007, when the nesting platforms were put in place as part of a conservation project.
Two years later, eggs were laid and successfully hatched for the first time.
Although located on private land, the platforms are viewed from the National Trust for Scotland's Threave Estate near Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway.
Tom Hall, the trust's osprey ranger for Threave, described the incident as a "close shave".
"Thanks to the vigilance and initiative of a member of the public the ospreys' nest has been left undisturbed," he said.
"Loss of the eggs would have been a disaster for osprey conservation - a raid on the nest may have discouraged breeding pairs from returning to Threave in the future.
"Thanks to the warped and selfish minds of people who collect rare birds' eggs, there is a thriving black market and this is probably what led to this contemptible attempt to reach the nesting platform."
He said a rota of staff and volunteers had now been arranged to monitor the nest constantly until the eggs hatch.
"If anyone makes another attempt to raid the nest, they will be caught," he said.


The Football Association says Baroness Sue Campbell's appointment as its new head of women's football is a "massive statement".

Baroness Campbell, 56, is the former boss of UK Sport.
During her time at UK Sport from 2003-2013, she oversaw a rise in the number of British medals won at the Olympics.
Kelly Simmons, the FA's director of participation and development, called Baroness Campbell "one of the most influential people in British sport".
"I'm really excited about helping shape the future vision and strategy for girls and women's football," said Baroness Campbell.
"Great strides have already been made both in terms of grassroots participation and at the elite level and I'm really looking forward to building on the work already done."
She will focus her work on increasing grassroots participation and getting further success for England's elite women's teams.
England reached the semi-finals of the 2015 World Cup, eventually finishing third with a 1-0 win over Germany.
Campbell, who will start her new role in March, is also chair of the Youth Sport Trust and was awarded a CBE for her services to sport in 2003.


National League South club Truro City will share the Stadium for Cornwall with rugby club Cornish Pirates.

Work on the 6,000-capacity ground, on the outskirts of Truro, is expected to start this summer.
Truro wanted to build their own stadium at Silver Bow, but developers branded it "no longer financially viable".
"The joint agreement will enable the strong prospect of a stadium to finally be built," a statement issued by the two clubs read.
"The community stadium will rival other similar venues currently found throughout the country."
Truro will joint-fund the £10m ground with Championship club Pirates and Truro & Penwith College. The stadium's capacity is expected to eventually be increased to 10,000.
It is hoped that both teams will be able to use the stadium, which will be suitable for League Two football, by the 2019-20 campaign.
Pirates will remain at the Mennaye Field until then, while City will start next season at Treyew Road, potentially groundsharing with Bodmin Town before moving to the new home.
Truro chairman Peter Masters said: "Whilst (vice-chairman) Philip Perryman and I are disappointed that Silver Bow will now not go ahead, we are delighted to have taken a further step towards securing the club's future in National League South, after so many months of uncertainty."
Completion of the deal is subject to a number of legal agreements.


Thousands of drivers fined for using a street in York at restricted times should get their money back, the council leader has said.

The authority lost an appeal in April over issuing fixed penalty notices to drivers using Coppergate.
The Traffic Penalty Tribunal said errors in the signage meant the restrictions were not enforceable.
Conservative leader Chris Steward said a formal decision would be be made in July.
"We will be looking at the executive to approve a process to refund the fines and draw a line under the whole debacle," he said.
Mr Steward took control of the authority in coalition with the Liberal Democrats following elections in May.
The previous Labour administration had installed an automatic number plate recognition system on Coppergate in August 2013.
It came as a trial closure of Lendal Bridge began, which was also ruled to be unenforcable.
The schemes were both abandoned in April 2014 and the council has already refunded thousands of drivers for driving over Lendal Bridge.
About 13,000 motorists were issued automatic fines for driving on Coppergate during the scheme.
The council said the revenue from fines - about Â£350,000 - had been ring-fenced in the budget in case refunds had to be made.


Scores of people have been killed in multiple gun and bomb attacks in the French capital, Paris.

Here is a selection of pictures from the scene.


Universities across Europe are talking about merging or forming alliances like never before.

Almost 100 mergers have taken place since the beginning of the century. The European University Association (EUA), representing universities in 47 countries, is mapping this changing landscape with an interactive merger map.
And the pace is accelerating, with eight super-universities or clusters identified in 2012; 12 in 2013 and 14 in 2014.
So what's driving the merger mania?
Is it a way of climbing world university rankings by concentrating the best brains and resources to attract more students and bigger research grants?
Or is it a way of responding to funding cuts?
Thomas Estermann, director for governance, funding and public policy development at the EUA, says bigger numbers of staff and students give these super-universities more clout.
Bigger universities can gain higher profiles and boost global reputations, he says.
Mergers are also a way of "streamlining" and reducing duplication.
In some cases it will be a way of coping with a demographic decline of young people.
The EUA says mergers gathered pace from 2005 onwards, with Denmark and Estonia being the early trendsetters.

Estonia cut its number of higher education institutions from 41 to 29 between 2000-2012. The University of Tallin in the country's capital capital absorbed eight smaller institutes and colleges.
In Denmark, the number of universities was reduced from 12 to eight and government research centres integrated into the university sector.
France now leads the way with mergers with a government-inspired initiative to gather universities and research centres into umbrella-like communities - "communes" - and then to consider full mergers.
One of the biggest amalgamations, the Paris-Saclay "federal university", includes the highly-ranked Ecole Polytechnique, the HEC business school and Universite Paris-Sud.
This has the explicit aim of creating a institution which will be in the top 10 of global rankings.
Now it looks like Paris will go one step further, following successful university mergers in Strasbourg, Bordeaux and Marseille.
In the heart of the Latin Quarter, two of the French capital's most prestigious institutions - Paris-Sorbonne and Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC) Universities - are planning to recreate the spirit of the old unified University of Paris which was torn apart after the student riots of 1968.
Back then, the French government allowed the University of Paris - one of the oldest in the world, founded around 1150 - to split into 13 autonomous universities along faculty lines, often referred to as Paris 1, 2, 3 and so on up to 13.
Professor Jean Chambaz, president of UPMC - Paris 6 - said: "One of the limitations of French universities came about 40 years ago when they separated along disciplinary lines.
"One had all sciences, another only the humanities, another just law and economics.
"We were the science and medical faculties of the Sorbonne, of the University of Paris, before the split in 1970."
"Today UPMC's focus is science, engineering and medicine; at Paris-Sorbonne it is arts and humanities. But to address the challenges of the world, we need to build a comprehensive university containing all these disciplines.
"At the moment in Paris, we don't have mergers, but autonomous institutions working in partnership, like our own Sorbonne University group, which includes research centres, the private INSEAD business school, as well as Paris-Sorbonne, UPMC and some other institutions.
"In February, we will have elections for presidents and boards of both Paris-Sorbonne and UPMC. Providing the new members agree, we will press ahead with a full merger and create the new university by 1 January 2018.
"In some ways we are recreating the old Sorbonne, but in the 21st Century."
Professor Barthelemy Jobert, president of Paris-Sorbonne University - Paris 4 - is enthusiastic about creating a powerful global research university covering all disciplines and capable of rivalling the best in the world.
"Success will be creating a new model of a global university in France, with independent autonomous faculties as well as a presidency who will speak for the whole university."
The French government favours such mergers, but is leaving it to the universities to decide.
Professors Jobert and Chambaz see eye-to-eye on the merger, but say it is vital to win support from academics, technical and administrative staff and students.
Prof Chambaz says they are learning from other European examples of successful government-backed mergers, such as Germany's Karlsruhe University and Karlsruhe Research Centre merging into Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
With the goal of repeating the success of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, KIT has increased student numbers by 20% since 2009 and concentrated research on fields such as energy and mobility.
It enjoyed a 50% boost to research income between 2009 and 2013.
The new Aalto University in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, had government backing to combine institutions.
Helsinki School of Economics, Helsinki University of Technology and the University of Arts and Design, Helsinki were merged, with the aim of turbo-charging Finland's higher education system.
It wanted to tackle the relative poor performance of Finland's universities, compared with the country's top ratings at school level in the Pisa test rankings.
"The new university was designed to put innovation and impact on the knowledge economy at the heart of things," said Aalto's vice president, Hannu Seristo.
And the new bigger university climbed almost 50 places in this year's QS rankings.
But not all mergers are so enthusiastically supported by government.
The University of Lisbon and Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, had to "actively convince" public authorities to secure approval to merge into Universidade de Lisboa and justify the costs involved.
And that's just the point, says Mr Estermann. "Mergers need a lot of time and energy to be successful. Saving money should not be the main reason to merge as return on investment can take a long time.
"They shouldn't be forced. We're talking about autonomous institutions and not a company takeover."


Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland made a 2016 pre-tax profit of £58m on a turnover of £176m.

The profit included a 'write back' of £27m in impairment charges.
That means money which had been set aside to cover expected losses can now be released as loans performed better than expected.
These are the first performance figures the bank has published since a corporate reorganisation in 2015.
At that time the bank's parent company, RBS, split Ulster Bank's Irish operation into separate businesses, north and south of the border.
Richard Donnan, head of Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland, said the results also showed a 6% decline in operating costs from £154m to £145m.
"We still have work to do to manage our costs in order to grow our business in a sustainable way, but we have made significant progress on that front," he said.
"I am pleased that we have impairment write backs of £27m, driven by improved residential and commercial property market conditions."
In March, the bank said it would close nine of its 64 branches from October.
Ulster Bank is one of the big four local banks in Northern Ireland, employing about 2,200 staff.
In 2016 RBS, which is 72%-government owned, reported a £7bn annual loss.


Kemar Roofe's first goal for Leeds earned a victory at Molineux as Wolves' winless run in the Championship was stretched to five matches.

Former Oxford United forward Roofe, who arrived at Elland Road in July, turned home Hadi Sacko's cross from close range midway through the second half.
Sacko should also have scored in the first half but chipped on to the bar.
Joao Teixeira had Wolves' only shot on target, but his first-time effort in the box was saved by Rob Green.
Wolves, who have lost four of their last five league games, looked toothless in attack once again despite creating several chances after head coach Walter Zenga changed their usual formation by playing two strikers.
Iceland forward Jon Dadi Bodvarsson failed to find the net for the eighth Championship game in a row and has scored just twice in 12 league matches since joining from Kaiserslautern.
Helder Costa, arguably Wolves' most creative player during their run of poor form, wasted a glorious opportunity to equalise in stoppage time, sending his shot over.
Garry Monk's Leeds, who have won five out of eight league matches, rise to 10th in the table.
Wolves head coach Walter Zenga:
"It is a little frustration with the situation. I think the team created and played well and tried to do the positive things.
"The negative point should be if the team doesn't play and doesn't create anything. The team played well and created chances. We have to convert these chances into goals.
"We have to continue to work hard, don't think everything is negative because the only negative is the result.
"We had an important meeting after the game, only me and the players, and I am sure 100% that things are going to change."
Leeds boss Garry Monk:
"We are really competitive now. Overall our character shone through today and we got the deserved three points.
"I think we saw it out quite comfortably. Three points and a clean sheet - you have got to be happy.
"I think that it was an excellent performance. A really gritty typical Championship game where you have to dig in."

Drivers with convictions for offences such as assault, housebreaking and drink-driving were issued taxi licences last year, a BBC Scotland investigation has revealed.

Councils approved 1,584 applications from people with convictions.
Data obtained by the BBC also shows that councils received more than 1,200 taxi-related complaints in 2014 - a small rise on the previous year.
But the Scottish Taxi Federation said the public should not be concerned.
Bill McIntosh, general secretary of the body which represents the taxi trade, played down the conviction and complaint figures.
He said: "All Scottish licensing authorities are required to ensure that in granting a licence to drive a taxi or a private hire car, the applicant meets with their interpretation of being a fit and proper person.
"[And] taking into account that there are approximately 36,500 licensed taxi and private hire car drivers throughout Scotland, and the many millions of journeys undertaken, it could be argued that the number of complaints made were in real terms relatively small."
However, he added: "This is not to suggest that we should be dismissive of the numbers."
The new figures - obtained through a series of co-ordinated freedom of information requests - come in the wake of Glasgow taxi driver Arshad Mohammed being found guilty of raping a female passenger.
And an East Renfrewshire taxi driver is currently awaiting sentence after admitting placing female passengers in a state of fear or alarm and lying on his licence application.
Michael Boyd, who had previously surrendered his East Ayrshire licence after a series of complaints, said on his application form that he had never previously held a taxi driver's licence.
Police Scotland said the relevant checks had been carried out at the time of Mr Boyd's application to East Renfrewshire, with a negative result.
The force said it was now developing a national IT system which would act as a "single point of reference for licences that had been granted or revoked by the relevant local authority".
A recent amendment to the 1974 Rehabilitation of Offenders Act currently stipulates that applicants for taxi and private hire car licences must declare all previous spent and unspent convictions.
Each council's licensing committee then typically consults with Police Scotland on all submitted taxi licence applications.
The committee then meets to discuss individual applications where objections have been raised, or inconsistencies have been detected, by the police.
The figures obtained by BBC Scotland show that the highest number of drivers with criminal histories have been issued licences by Glasgow (290), Edinburgh (257) and Falkirk (184) councils.
Many of the convictions are related to common traffic offences such as speeding or running a red light.
But other convictions included assault, breach of the peace, car theft, drink-driving, indecent exposure and possession of an offensive weapon.
Two licensed drivers in the Borders had charges dating back to the 1970s related to unlawful carnal knowledge of girls under 17.
In East Ayrshire, a licence was issued to an individual who had carried out 49 offences, including assault and theft, as well as repeatedly driving while disqualified and without any insurance.
In that particular case, the council said a panel had fully considered all previous convictions - the last of which was from 2006.
Guidance from the Scottish government suggests "local licensing authorities will want to consider each case on its merits, but they will doubtless take a particularly cautious view of any offences involving violence, and especially sexual attack".
The report was guided by a concern that "the industry is protected from infiltration and targeting by organised crime groups".
A spokesperson for Highland Council said there were "no hard and fast rules" about who should be granted a licence.
"An applicant with a series of recent convictions, for example, is more likely to be considered not to be a fit and proper person than an applicant with older convictions whose record shows that he or she has not re-offended for a considerable time," it said.
The BBC Scotland investigation revealed that taxi-related complaints had doubled, and even trebled, in some council areas.
Aberdeen City Council received 144 complaints in 2014 - up from 51 the previous year.
And the reporting of grievances doubled in East Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, Highland and South Lanarkshire.
The most complaints were received by Edinburgh (340), North Lanarkshire (210), and Aberdeen (144).
The bulk of complaints were related to the personal behaviour of drivers, and dangerous driving.
But Highland Council also received complaints including tailgating, money laundering and the sale of drugs and alcohol from licensed vehicles.
The complaint data also revealed that an East Ayrshire driver had his licence suspended in February 2014 after allegedly "placing a lone female in a state of fear and distress".
Assault and racial abuse were among the grievances filed to West Dunbartonshire council since 2010.
There were also complaints regarding public urination, fare disputes, vehicle conditions, drivers electing to take longer routes and refusals to take guide dogs.
However, grievances were not only filed by passengers but also by other by other cabbies for infractions by drivers of private hire vehicles.
Only Hackney carriages may pick up passengers from authorised taxi ranks or if hailed in the street.
A spokesperson for Falkirk Council said it was "impossible" to make any correlation between a driver's criminal history and the complaints.
The council said: "Once a driver is licensed they are subject to an annual renewal process which enables both the police and the licensing authority to undertake checks on the continuing fitness of the driver."
Complaints across Scotland rose marginally between 2013 and 2014, from 1,167 to 1,201.
However, a number of councils refused to release their complaint data, or only released a portion of it, so the actual number of annual grievances is likely to be higher.
Most councils in Scotland have enforcement units, empowered by the 1982 Civic Government Act, to investigate any alleged wrongdoing.
But the data obtained by BBC Scotland reveals that often many of the complaints are not upheld.
No action was taken in nearly 90% of the complaints submitted to Falkirk Council in 2014.
In South Ayrshire, two-thirds of complaints were not upheld.
The spokesperson for Falkirk Council said disciplinary action was often not taken due to a lack of evidence or corroboration of events.
They said: "This is particularly the case when taxi drivers complain about each other and the licensing authority finds itself in a position of having to deal with 'tit for tat' complaints.
"Other types of complaints are not of the nature where formal action would be suitable, for example in relation to personal hygiene and appearance issues.
"There are, of course, a number of complaints where the complainant does not wish to pursue the matter beyond the driver being made aware of their complaint."


A 66-year-old pedestrian is in a critical condition after being hit by a car in Bridgend county.

The woman was taken to Morriston Hospital in Swansea with serious injuries following the incident on Friday at about 20:30 GMT at Cymmer Road, Maesteg.
South Wales Police is asking anyone who saw the crash, or a white Seat Ibiza in the area, to contact them.
The road was closed for about two hours after the incident.


A school that has recently seen two of its board members resign over changes to the way it is run will not join a multi-academy trust as planned.

Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy (IPACA) is an independent trust, co-sponsored by the Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council.
It had been due to join multi-academy trust Aldridge Education from January.
However, Aldridge said this would no longer go ahead and it would not continue to sponsor the school.
London-based Aldridge Education previously said IPACA governors had voted to join the trust.
However, following discussions with the regional schools commissioner it said the move was "no longer in the best interests of the children and IPACA".
"We will therefore stand aside as the academy's lead sponsor to enable a decision to be reached on how the school is best supported going forward."
Joss Hayes, IPACA's principal, said a multi-academy trust with more resources to deploy locally would better support staff "to achieve improvement quickly and ensure a sustainable and stable future for the academy".
She said the Aldridge Foundation had committed to continue supporting the school "as part of an orderly transition process".
Chairman John Tizard and vice-chairman Matt Longshaw of IPACA board of governors resigned last month, shortly before the BBC also learned the school had been issued with a government warning over its finances.
More than 1,000 parents signed an online petition against the plans to join Aldridge Education, and about 40 had protested at the site.
Commenting on the IPACA Supporters' Group page on Facebook, Matt Longshaw said he hoped the latest development would lead to "more local accountability and control".
Debbie Smith added it was "great news for the future of our children".
IPACA has 1,029 students aged from four to 19.


Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have claimed a breakthrough in 3D stem cell printing.

They said it could pave the way for individually tailored drug testing regimes.
Their hope is that the development could reduce the need for animal testing.
The technology could also help ensure patients receive drugs which are most effective for their individual needs.
3D bioprinting is the process of generating cell patterns using 3D printing technologies
A team of researchers led by Dr Will Shu at the university's School of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) put together a 3D printer capable of working with delicate stem cells.
Working in conjunction with Roslin Cellab, the team have now refined the printer to make it capable of printing induced stem cells, derived from a donor's own adult cells, which are capable of developing into almost any other cell in the body.
A report on the team's work has been published in the IOP journal Biofabrication.
Dr Shu said: "This study is the first to demonstrate that human induced pluripotent stem cells, that is stem cells derived from the adult patient's own cells, can be bioprinted without adversely affecting their biological functions; that our 3D printing process is gentle enough to do this.
"In this instance we showed that after printing we could turn the stem cells into liver cells."
In the short term, the researchers plan to use the cell printing process to make miniature 3D human tissues for testing pharmaceutical drugs.
This should reduce the need for live animal testing.
Once the technique is established, specifically made tissue from an individual patient would enable doctors to prescribe drugs most likely to work for the patient and with fewest side effects.
Dr Shu added: "The ability to bioprint stem cells while either maintaining their pluripotency, their ability to develop into all types of cells in the body, or indeed directing their differentiation into specific cell types, will pave the way for producing organoids, or tissues on demand, from patient specific cells.
"These could then be used for animal-free drug development and personalised medicine."


The Labour candidate for London mayor Sadiq Khan, has rejected the prime minister's accusation that he has associated with extremists.

At prime minister's questions, David Cameron questioned Mr Khan's judgement over sharing a platform with a man he said supported so-called Islamic State.
A Labour spokesman said Mr Cameron's comments "demeaned the office of prime minister".
Mr Khan accused him of joining a "divisive, dog-whistling campaign".
Speaking about violent extremism, the prime minister said: "It's very important we do not back these people and we do not appear on platforms with these people."
He continued: "I am concerned about Labour's candidate for mayor of London, who has appeared again and again and again," before being interrupted by shouts of "shame" and "disgrace" from the Labour benches.
He went on to say Mr Khan had appeared on a platform nine times with a preacher from his Tooting constituency, Suliman Gani, whom Mr Cameron alleged "supports IS".
He added: "If you do it time after time after time it is right to question your judgement."
Mr Khan tweeted: "Disappointed PM has joined Zac Goldsmith's divisive, dog-whistling campaign. I've fought extremism all my life."
The Conservative candidate for mayor, Zac Goldsmith, has repeatedly accused the Labour MP for Tooting of "giving platforms and oxygen and even cover to people who are extremist".
Mr Khan maintains that he has fought strongly against radical Islamists and has himself been a victim of their threats.
In a BBC London debate on Monday, Mr Khan said he had "never hidden" the fact that, as a former chairman of Liberty and a human rights lawyer, he had acted for "some pretty unsavoury characters".
And when asked if he regretted sharing a platform with extremists, he said: "I regret giving the impression I subscribed to their views and I've been quite clear I find their views abhorrent."
Mr Goldsmith insists he has never labelled his Labour rival an "extremist" but says it is right to ask questions about his opponent's past.
Asked what evidence Mr Cameron had that Mr Gani was a supporter of IS, the prime minister's official spokeswoman said at a Westminster press briefing: "The point the prime minister was referring to was that at events, this individual has spoken up in support of a range of things including the formation of Islamic State."
Mr Gani responded on Twitter saying: "I hope the prime minister will reflect and retract his comments. This is defamation at its highest level."

Thousands of visitors have enjoyed the first day of Ireland's biggest agricultural and food show.

The Balmoral Show, located on the former Maze prison site near Lisburn, County Antrim, runs until Saturday.
It was previously held in the King's Hall complex in Belfast but moved to its new home in 2013.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the four-day event, which in previous years lasted three days.
With scores of livestock competitions and 600 trade stands, it is an opportunity for the industry to showcase itself.
Here are some snapshots of the day.


Britain's Christopher Skelley won gold at the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) European Judo Championships in Walsall.

The 23-year-old beat Russia's Malik Kurbanov with an ippon to claim the title in the men's -100kg class.
Skelley was fifth at the Rio Paralympic Games in 2016 and is one of Britain's highest-ranked judokas in Walsall.
Britain's Natalie Greenhough won bronze in the women's -70kg category in her first major tournament.
Jack Hodgson, who took bronze in 2015, came fifth in the men's +100kg after defeat by Abdula Kuramagomedov of Russia in the bronze medal match.
Elliot Stewart was also fifth in the men's -90kg.


Mae aelod blaenllaw o fudiad Rhieni dros addysg Gymraeg wedi dweud y dylai rhieni sydd ddim am i'w plant gael eu haddysgu yn yr iaith "groesi'r ffin i Loegr".

Daw sylwadau Michael Jones wrth i'r ffraeo barhau am ddyfodol Ysgol Llangennech yn Sir Gaerfyrddin, lle mae rhai rhieni yn gwrthwynebu'r cam i droi'r ysgol yn un cyfrwng Gymraeg.
Ddydd Iau, fe wnaeth arweinydd grŵp UKIP y Cynulliad, Neil Hamilton, fynnu na fyddai "gorfodi'r iaith Gymraeg i lawr cyrn gwddf plant" yn help i sicrhau Cymru ddwyieithog.
Ym mis Ionawr, pleidleisiodd mwyafrif cynghorwyr Sir Gâr o blaid y newid, a dywedodd llefarydd bod y camau statudol wedi'u dilyn a'u bod wedi ymgynghori'n eang cyn dod i'r penderfyniad.
Ar raglen Newyddion9 nos Iau, gofynnwyd i Mr Jones beth oedd ei neges i'r rheiny oedd yn gwrthwynebu'r penderfyniad gan Gyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin.
Dywedodd: "Os nad ydyn nhw'n licio'r Gymraeg, ga'i awgrymu fod y ffin draw 'co ac fe allen nhw groesi'r ffin.
"Os ydyn nhw ddim moyn bod mewn gwlad ble mae'r Gymraeg yn cael ei siarad, wel cer rhywle arall.
"Ond os na, dioddef y ffaith bod 'na ddwy iaith yng Nghymru."
Ychwanegodd: "Dwi ddim yn dweud dyle nhw, achos bod nhw'n siarad Saesneg, fynd o Gymru.
"Ond rwy'n dweud hynny os nad ydyn nhw'n gallu dioddef clywed y Gymraeg, wel, well iddyn nhw fynd rhywle arall."
Dydd Iau, dywedodd Mr Hamilton ei fod yn cefnogi bwriad Llywodraeth Cymru i gael miliwn o siaradwyr Cymraeg erbyn 2050, ond bod y penderfyniad yn Ysgol Llangennech yn mynd yn erbyn "dymuniadau rhieni".
Dywedodd: "Y bobl anoddefgar yn fan hyn yw'r aelodau Plaid Cymru sy'n gorfodi hyn ar bentref sydd ddim am ei weld."

A religious relic which, claimed by some to be the Holy Grail, is to go on permanent display at the National Library of Wales.

The fragile piece of wood is all that remains of the Nanteos Cup, a wooden chalice named after the mansion in Aberystwyth where it was once kept.
Some believe it was the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper and that it has healing powers.
It was stolen in 2014 before being returned to its owners a year later.
It has now been donated to the library in Aberystwyth where thousands of people are expected to view it over the coming months.
Pedr ap Llwyd, director of collections and public programmes, said visitors would finally be able to view the "mysterious object".
"This is truly a remarkable object and a very interesting addition to the national collections."
The cup is claimed to have been brought to Britain by Joseph of Arimathea after the death of Christ and then taken to Nanteos Mansion by seven monks from Strata Florida, Ceredigion, during the reign of Henry Vlll.
The house was then owned by the Powell family and, after the monks died, they took possession of it for centuries.
Legend says the cup, made of olive wood or wych elm, is sacred.
Owner Margaret Powell kept the chalice locked in a cupboard in a library and the sick travelled to Nanteos to drink from it.
However, some experts have said it was made 1,400 years after the crucifixion.
It originally measured approximately 12cm by 12cm (4.7in by 4.7in) but now measures 10cm by 8.5cm (3.9in by 3.3in) and is held together by wire staples and kept in a blue velvet bag.
After many years it left Nanteos Mansion and came into the ownership of the Steadman family in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, who kept it in a bank vault in Wales.
In 2014, it was loaned to a seriously ill woman because of its supposed healing properties, but burglars stole it while the woman was in hospital.
After police appeals and a reward being offered, it was returned to its owners.


The murder of a police officer 37 years ago could have been prevented by senior Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) commanders, the police ombudsman said.

Sgt Joseph Campbell, a father-of-eight, was shot dead as he closed Cushendall RUC station in County Antrim in 1977.
"Senior RUC officers and management had information on a very specific threat and failed to respond," Police Ombudsman Michael Maguire said.
But he said he did not believe the RUC colluded in the murder.
In his report, published on Friday, he said senior RUC officers failed to act on warnings from junior officers concerning a specific threat against Sgt Campbell, made long before he was murdered.
Speaking on BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster on Friday, Dr Maguire said the head of special branch at that time knew about this threat and it was "highly likely" that the chief constable at the time, Kenneth Newman, also knew.
However, Mr Newman told the ombudsman investigation that he did not remember this.
"There was no corrective action taken by the RUC to warn Joe Campbell, increase patrols or move him from his position, none of that happened," Dr Maguire said.
"There was a prolonged failure in duty to the Campbell family."
Dr Maguire said the original investigation into the murder was "very poor" and that the 1980 investigation had been undermined by a lack of information.
"The impact of the murder of Joe Campbell reverberated throughout RUC at the time, I was surprised the chief constable did not recollect it," he said.
"There is no doubt in my mind that the Campbell family were failed by the RUC."
In his 50-page report, Dr Maguire found that the two criminal investigations into the shooting had been flawed, and hampered by the withholding of sensitive intelligence information, including the threats to the victim's life.
The Campbell family has welcomed elements of the ombudsman's report, but said they were unhappy that Dr Maguire's investigation did not find evidence of RUC collusion with loyalist paramilitaries.
Sgt Campbell had been a well-known and respected police officer in the County Antrim community for many years.
The shooting took place on the evening of 25 February 1977 and since then, his widow and children have campaigned for more information about the circumstances surrounding his death.
The Campbell family believe that the killing was carried out by a loyalist paramilitary - Robin Jackson - with the aid of rogue elements of the security forces.
Jackson was a member of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF).
Joe Campbell Jr told BBC Radio's Good Morning Ulster programme that he had been in his father's police station in connection with an unrelated matter shortly before the murder.
"He came down to the station, he was unexpected there and as I was leaving, he opened the gate for me and told me to get  home quickly," Mr Campbell said.
"I didn't think anything of it at the time, but not more than 10 minutes later he was murdered at the gates he had let me out of."
Another son, Tommy, said his father's moods had changed dramatically in the months before the murder.
"He had become more conscious about his own personal security. He was careful about what we were doing and where we were about," he said.
"It's well documented that on the night this happened, a phone call was received.
"He went to the station. He put on his own personal protection weapon, which he never wore. He just didn't wear a gun at all at any stage.
"While we are aware at the time that something a bit different was going on, it's only after the murder, and in latter years, that we could contextualise it."
While the family has alleged a wider conspiracy of a cover-up, Dr Maguire said he had been unable to substantiate all of their allegations.
However, he found both the victim and his family were failed by the actions of the RUC before and after the shooting.
Dr Maguire said: "I have to conclude that Sgt Campbell, a dedicated community police officer in the Glens of Antrim, was failed by senior members of the police service, of which he was a respected member."
He added that there was "sufficient, reliable evidence that senior police officers throughout the RUC's command structure" were aware of the threats to Sgt Campbell's life and "failed to act upon them".
Dr Maguire said he uncovered the systematic destruction and removal of RUC documents, and adds that some retired RUC officers refused to cooperate with his investigation.
There were two RUC investigations into the murder of Sgt Campbell, carried out in 1977 and 1980.
As a result of the 1980 investigation, a member of RUC Special Branch in Ballymena, County Antrim, was arrested and tried for the murder.
The Crown case had been that a "rogue" Special Branch member had been carrying out criminal activities, including armed robberies in County Antrim, and had murdered Sgt Campbell to prevent him from passing on information about him.
The Special Branch officer was acquitted of murder.
Thirty years later, Police Ombudsman inquiries into the killing uncovered new evidence, but the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) decided no further prosecutions would follow.
The Police Ombudsman's investigators heard from Special Branch officers who had passed their concerns about Sgt Campbell's safety on to their senior officers, including that "Joe was to be lined-up to be murdered".
Army intelligence officers had also been aware of the risk to Sgt Campbell.
One police officer was told by a member of the public that there was a link between a bank robbery in Cushendall in early 1977 and the murder of Sgt Campbell several weeks later.
The officer passed this statement on, and said he was always surprised that he was never asked about it.
In conclusion Dr Maguire said: "The inadequacies of those investigations further undermined the prospect of effective investigation of the murder of Sgt Campbell and promoted an atmosphere of suspicion in which allegations of a wider conspiracy, whether correct or incorrect, have subsequently thrived and the family of Sgt Campbell have been failed."
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), which replaced the RUC in 2001, expressed its sympathies to the Campbell family and said the ombudsman's report made "difficult reading".
PSNI Deputy Chief Constable Alistair Finlay said: "It is clear there were significant shortcomings in the RUC handling of information prior to the murder and in both subsequent police investigations into Sgt Campbell's murder."
Mr Finlay expressed disappointment that "a number of retired officers felt unable to engage with this Police Ombudsman's investigation".
However he added that policing "back in 1977 operated in a very different context" and said RUC officers investigated 112 troubles-related murders that year.


Four trains from different eras have travelled side by side in a special event celebrating the past, present and future of Britain's railways.

The world-famous locomotive Flying Scotsman was joined by an HST and InterCity 225 from Virgin Trains' fleet, and one of its new Azuma trains.
They lined up on the East Coast Main Line at Tollerton, North Yorkshire, at 06:00 BST before travelling to York.
Hundreds of people lined the route to witness the unique event.
Paul Kirkman, director of York's National Railway Museum, which owns the Doncaster-built Flying Scotsman, said: "The East Coast Main Line has long been famed for speed and style.
"In the 19th Century elegant locomotives were designed to haul trains on this route, cementing its reputation as a railway racing stretch operated by thoroughbred engines.
"The four-train line-up epitomises the evolution of the later generation of fast, elegant and stylish trains - all with a shared bloodline - that epitomise the history of the route from the 1850s to today."


First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has sent a message of support to Team GB athletes in Rio - including the record 51 Scottish Olympians selected.

Scots competing in the 2016 Olympics include tennis gold medallist Andy Murray, who has also been selected as the Team GB flag bearer.
Rowers Katherine Grainger and Heather Stanning, who won gold in London 2012, will also be defending their titles.
The 51 Scots include three reserve athletes.
It is the highest number ever to be selected for an away games, beating the previous record for the 2008 Beijing Games of 31.
The first minister said: "There is no higher honour than competing on a global stage and I am delighted that so many Scottish athletes will be performing in Rio.
"The Olympics is one of the highest-profile sporting events in the world, and is a tremendous opportunity to compete against the best sportsmen and women in the world.
"I will be cheering on all of them throughout the games and I hope that the hard work and dedication these athletes have put in will pay off."
Ms Sturgeon said she wished the Scottish Olympians and the whole of Team GB the "very best of luck".
The Olympics opening ceremony at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium begins at midnight on Friday UK time.


Oscar winner Nicole Kidman says she still acts like she's 21 when it comes to acting roles.

The star told a Cannes press conference she likes to make "bold" choices, as if she were at the start of her career.
Kidman said while she doesn't have to work, she does so because of her passion for cinema.
The star of The Killing of the Sacred Deer, in competition at Cannes, said her young children will be banned from seeing the dark psychological thriller.
Kidman has two grown-up children from her marriage to Tom Cruise and two younger daughters with her current husband singer Keith Urban.
"My (younger) children have very little understanding of what me or my husband do. Their lives are obviously far more important!"
She added: "I'm at that stage in my life where I still try to act as if I'm 21 and starting my career.
"At this stage of my life, I'm just trying to stay very bold and open and try things and support film-makers I believe in."
The Killing of the Sacred Deer features an eminent surgeon Steven Murphy - played by Colin Farrell -  who adopts a teenager into his family. Things start to go horribly wrong when the boy turns against Murphy.
Kidman plays ophthalmologist Anna Murphy, who is married to Steven.
It's directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the Greek filmmaker behind indie hit The Lobster, which won the Jury Prize at Cannes two years ago. Farrell also starred in that film.
Kidman said she was "hypnotised" by Lanthimos' script.
She has four projects showing at the festival this year, but said: "That's a confluence of events - that's not something I was aware would be happening."
Her other Cannes showings are in The Beguiled and How to Talk to Girls at Parties, as well as the second series of TV drama Top of the Lake, from Jane Campion.
She singled out Campion for praise, saying she had been a friend of hers since the age of 14 and that "she discovered me, basically."

With or without the benefit of hindsight, Serena Williams' victory at the Australian Open in January was sublime.

The 'greatest female tennis player of the Open era' won her 23rd Grand Slam without dropping a set.
But when you learn she did it while in the early stages of pregnancy, the feat becomes exceptional.
So how is it possible to win a Grand Slam while pregnant?
Dr Markos Klonizakis, a senior research fellow at Sheffield Hallam University, says the triumph at that stage of pregnancy is "amazing".
"It is not easy for any woman to adapt to changes in her body, let alone while playing sport at an elite level," he said.
"Physiologically, the main challenge women face within about five weeks of pregnancy is in adapting to changes to the cardiovascular system.
"These are rapid and ensure blood and oxygen supply to the foetus.
"Many women feel they cannot breathe as easily as their heart rate increases.
"The nature of a Grand Slam tournament, where players have to recover to play consecutive matches, would have been a challenge for her, if you take into account nausea as well."
Professor Janice Rymer, of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, added: "For elite athletes, a tailored training and nutrition plan would normally be developed with a specialist team.
"High levels of exercise at around eight weeks gestation should not affect pregnancy for these athletes and those used to high levels of exercise.
"During the first few weeks of pregnancy these hormones may actually boost physical performance as a woman's natural production of steroids will increase slightly."
Williams is not the first elite athlete to compete while pregnant.
British Olympic cycling champion Laura Kenny told BBC Radio 5 live: "I was still competing when I first found out I was pregnant. I actually won the madison nationals with Elinor Barker when I was about five or six weeks pregnant, but any time after that I just feel like it is so intense that I wouldn't have been able to [compete]."
Nigerian table-tennis player Olufunke Oshonaike who appeared at her sixth Olympic Games in Rio - only the second African women to do so - carried on playing when she was seven months pregnant, despite her "big belly".

Only last week, American swimmer Dana Vollmer competed in an elite 50m freestyle race while six months pregnant.
"As hard as people think this is, the race is only 30 seconds long as opposed to the entire day I spend holding and chasing around a 35-pound two-year-old," she said.
"This will feel like a break."
After winning gold in the 100m butterfly in the 2012 London Olympics, Vollmer took time off to have her first child, son Arlen, and returned in time to qualify for Rio.
But this time around, she has made the decision to continue training. Baby number two, another boy, is due in July.

"Putting the health of the baby first doesn't just mean sitting on the couch," the 29-year-old said.
In June 2014, Alysia Montano competed in the 800m quarter-finals of the US track and field championships while eight months pregnant.
The then 28-year-old runner, who received a standing ovation after completing the race in 2 minutes 32.13 seconds, told the Daily Mail: "I've been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process."
Her finishing time was 35 seconds slower than her personal best of 1:57.34, but she added: "I just didn't want to get lapped and be the first person to get lapped in the 800m."
Five-time Olympian and mother-of-two Jo Pavey told BBC Sport: "It is difficult for sportswomen because [Williams] might not have known she was pregnant.
"I chose not to compete when I was pregnant. I did run round a women's 10k just to keep fit, but I didn't run as far as I could.
"I chose not to push myself to the limit, just to keep fit and active."
And marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe said in 2015: "My priorities changed the minute I knew I was pregnant, and everything I did centred around the baby.
"I lost that competitive instinct. It wasn't about running certain times in training anymore."

US President Donald Trump has called for a "new unity", a day after a campaign-style rally in which he attacked political foes and media.

Speaking in Reno, Nevada, Mr Trump said "we are one people with one home and one great flag".
"In America, we never lose faith, we never forget who we are, and we never stop striving for a better future," he told the American Legion.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the convention centre as he spoke.
In a 22-minute address to the veterans' group, Mr Trump read from a teleprompter as he said: "It is time to heal the wounds that have divided us, and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us."
He told his audience of more than 5,000 that in the US, "we are not defined by the colour of our skin, the figure on our pay cheque, or the party of our politics.
"We are defined by our shared humanity - by our citizenship in this magnificent nation, and by the love that fills our hearts."
At a raucous rally in Arizona the night before he railed against that state's two senators, both fellow members of his Republican party, and Democrats.
In his 80-minute speech, Mr Trump threatened to shut down the government unless funding was approved for his proposed wall on the US-Mexico border.
He also excoriated media coverage of his statements about violence at a white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month.
Mr Trump selectively quoted his initial response, omitting his much-criticised remark that "many sides" were to blame for clashes that ended with a counter-demonstrator killed.
He also accused the "damn dishonest media" of "trying to take away our culture".
"They're trying to take away our history," he added.
As he spoke, protesters clashed with police outside the venue in central Phoenix.
After Mr Trump's speech on Wednesday in Nevada, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell denied a New York Times report that he was angry with the president and doubtful of his ability to lead the party.
"We are committed to advancing our shared agenda together," the Kentucky senator said, "and anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly not part of the conversation."
At the conclusion of Mr Trump's latest speech, he signed into law a measure making it easier for veterans to appeal for disability allowance after their claims are denied.
Earlier this week, he laid out his plan for US troops in Afghanistan, and met with border control agents near the US-Mexico border.


Five disabled social housing tenants have lost their Court of Appeal bid to have benefit cuts for those deemed to have spare bedrooms ruled unlawful.

Judges said the court could not intervene in the government's "controversial" housing benefit changes - dubbed a "bedroom tax" by critics.
Lawyers for the group had argued the regulations applying in England, Wales and Scotland failed to reflect the accommodation needs of disabled people.
They said they planned to fight on.
The court also ruled against two lone parents who claimed the government's cap on the total benefits paid to families violated human rights laws and common law because of its impact on vulnerable families.
Lord Dyson, Master of the Rolls, said the legal challenges were to two of "the government's most controversial measures" relating to state benefits.
He said the court could intervene only if the measures "were manifestly without reasonable foundation" and he ruled that stringent test was not satisfied and both challenges must fail.
But Ugo Hayter, who represents two of those fighting the changes, said they were "baffled" by the Court of Appeal's findings and were considering taking the case to the Supreme Court.
"The court recognised that our clients and thousands of disabled people across the UK had a need for accommodation not provided for by the new housing benefit rules, however the court decided that disabled tenants should not have their housing needs met on an equivalent basis to their able-bodied counterparts, just because they are disabled.
By Jayson CarmichaelAppellant
"I hope we can appeal it in the Supreme Court. It must be the worst High Court decision that's ever been made, I'm very angry about it.
"We're going to continue to fight for justice, because we haven't really got a spare bedroom because of my wife's severe disabilities and to say that disabled people are justifiably discriminated against can't be right for Britain in 2014.
"We have to fight loads of medical issues; I'm a 24/7 carer and I do overnight care for her and everything, and on top of the fight in this case it's just put me in a state of exhaustion.
"We have had some help with some discretionary housing payments but we've been promised no more for this year, so we might fall behind with our rent like other disabled tenants now.
"We're hoping to stay. We haven't got much room as it is; with medical equipment there's not really a lot of space in a two-bedroom housing association flat."
"Instead disabled tenants are being forced to rely on short-term and discretionary payments."
And Anne McMurdie, whose firm represents three of the appellants, said: "Disabled tenants are not asking for extra funds - they are asking for housing benefit to be paid at a level which meets their needs - for the same right as others. Discretionary payments are not the answer."
Jayson Carmichael, from Southport, Merseyside, who was one of the appellants, said he was "devastated" by the ruling.
He said: "It's ludicrous because human rights laws have been implemented by tribunal judges up and down the country. I think we're just being made an example of because of our high profile in this group case."
Richard Kramer, deputy chief executive of national deaf-blind charity Sense, said it was "extremely disappointed" with the outcome.
"Although this decision concerns the cases of five individuals, the impact of this policy has been devastating for many disabled people," he said.
National Housing Federation head of policy Kevin Williamson said the court action showed "how desperate" people had become.
He said: "Disabled people across the country are being forced to cut back on food and heating to pay the bedroom tax."
Richard Hawkes, chief executive of disability charity Scope, described the ruling as "a setback for the campaigners and a major blow for the 400,000 disabled people who are feeling the impact of this policy".
The Department for Work and Pensions, which was a defendant in both cases, welcomed the rulings.
"Reform of housing benefit in the social sector is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of the benefit. But we have ensured extra discretionary housing support is available for vulnerable people," a spokesman said.
Referring to the benefit cap, the spokesman added: "We are pleased that the courts have ruled again that the benefit cap complies with the European Convention on Human Rights.
"The benefit cap sets a fair limit to what people can expect to get from the welfare system - so that claimants cannot receive more than Â£500 a week, the average household earnings."
Since April last year, people deemed to have one spare bedroom have had their housing benefit reduced by 14% while those with two or more spare bedrooms have seen reductions of 25%.
The challenge to the change originally concerned 10 families but five cases involving disabled children are no longer being pursued because they have since become subject to an exemption from the benefit cut.
The group includes wheelchair user Richard Rourke, 46, from Bakestone Moor, Derbyshire, who says he needs an additional bedroom to store mobility equipment.
Among the others involved in the case is Mr Carmichael's wife Charlotte who says her spina bifida means she is unable to share a bedroom with her husband, who is also her full-time carer.
