GUATEMALA BARS ANTI-CORRUPTION CHIEF, DEFYING COURT RULING  Guatemala’s government has defied a ruling by the country’s top court to allow the return of the man who heads a UN-backed anti-corruption commission, with officials arguing they have the right to force his replacement.The announcement came after the constitutional court issued a unanimous and binding ruling late on Sunday that the administration must permit entry by the leader of the commission, which has pursued a number of high-profile graft probes, including one against President Jimmy Morales himself.Government officials said the ruling does not mention commission head Iván Velásquez by name, and simply refers to the “commissioner (of either gender)” of the UN anti-corruption body. They said that means they only have to allow someone in to head the commission but not Velásquez.However, Gloria Porras, one of the court’s five justices, told the Associated Press that the ruling applies to Velásquez.

Philip Hammond has defended his pledge of funding for “little extras” for schools, and said it would be “useful” to pay for “whiteboards and laptop computers”.Speaking on the Today Programme, the chancellor said his announcement of a £400 million in year capital “bonus” for schools in yesterday’s budget was “quite different” from the government’s long-term plan for school revenue funding, which won’t be set out until next year’s spending review.Hammond has been widely mocked for his comments after announcing in parliament that the money would “help our schools buy the little extras they need”. The saying has even sparked the use of a hashtag, #littleextras, with teachers tweeting their ridiculous suggestions for what the money could be used for.

3-GAB GOES OFFLINE FOLLOWING PRESURE, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR LONG

Gab has gone offline.

The self-described "free speech social media platform" is taking time off the internet, after landing under the spotlight when it was discovered the suspect involved in Pittsburgh's synagogue shooting was a poster and user on the sit

Gab posted a message on its homepage, announcing that the site will be "inaccessible for a period of time" as it works "around the clock" to transition a new hosting provider.

The platform has been banned by PayPal, and fellow online payment service Stripe is looking to cut off the site. Gab's new hosting service, Joyent, reportedly will suspend the site from 9 a.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 29.

Gab's domain registrar, GoDaddy, has also asked for the platform to take its business elsewhere.

"We have informed Gab.com that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy told Mashable in a statement.

"In response to complaints received over the weekend, GoDaddy investigated and discovered numerous instances of content on the site that both promotes and encourages violence against people."

Democrats who are chomping at the bit to go after Donald Trump’s tax returns, as well as investigate accusations of corruption, if they take control of the House after the midterms can thank a rule change pushed through by the GOP that they plan to take advantage of.

According to Politico, in 2015 the House Republican leadership changed a rule to permit many of their committee chairmen to issue subpoenas without consulting the minority party.

In a strange twist of fate, Democrats then opposed the rule change that was then used to harass President Barack Obama.

With Democrats expected to take become the majority party in the House after the midterms, committee memberships would flip to Democratic control — including the powerful chairmanship positions.

“The Republicans have set the standard and, by God, we’re going to emulate that standard,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) said in an interview with Politico.
