Dated? CS Lewis's Christian clarity is as relevant as ever
A hundred years ago Clive Staples Lewis, known to his friends as Jack, was elected a fellow and tutor in English language and literature at Magdalen College, Oxford. It would be his academic home for the next 29 years, a period when he became a Christian and produced most of his best-known works. The author of the Narnia stories, Miracles, Till We have Faces, Surprised by Joy and so many others lived close by his college, attended its chapel, made Oxford and its pubs and walks his home, but was never fully embraced by the university. It's one of the reasons he'd leave for Magdalene College, Cambridge, in 1954 and be extremely happy there. Part of the cause for Oxford's qualified reception, then and now, was Lewis's Christian faith, and also the fact that he was commercially and publicly successful. There were far more Christians on the teaching staff at Cambridge and they were excited rather than embarrassed by Lewis, the popular apologist.

Financial Ombudsman Service boss paid £230,000 after ousting
The ousted head of the Financial Ombudsman Service received a pay-off of almost £230,000, it has been disclosed in the annual report. Abby Thomas, who left abruptly on 6 February, was paid £229,869 in severance payments on top of her normal salary. The payoff included £100,000 for loss of office, £107,692 in lieu of notice and £22,177 for a period of gardening leave that began on the day she left, the FOS said. MPs on the Treasury select committee have hit out at the manner of her departure and criticised the FOS chairwoman Baroness Manzoor for refusing to answer questions on why Thomas left and whether she was forced out. The FOS, which rules on complaints by consumers about financial services firms and can set compensation orders, is under pressure to reform. Rachel Reeves has pledged to curb its powers so it no longer acts like a regulator after complaints from the industry that it has increased the cost of 'mass redress events'. It has been dealing with a significant rise in claims, mainly related to car finance loans, but also because of concerns about other consumer loans and more people complaining about banks' handling of frauds. Dame Meg Hillier, chairwoman of the Treasury committee, said this month: 'The handling of this situation by the senior leadership has been deeply disappointing.' Thomas, a former Virgin Media executive, served for less than three years. She has been replaced by James Dipple-Johnstone as chief ombudsman and Jenny Simmonds as interim chief executive. Manzoor is due to retire on August 1. The FOS received 450,000 new inquiries in the year to March, up from 330,000. The motor finance industry is braced for a judgment from the Supreme Court this Friday that could determine the scale of compensation payments for failing to disclose commissions paid to dealers.
