Ladies, how many of you have been on a shopping spree, arms laden with high street bags, and then on the final leg of your spree you have quickly nipped into Superdrug to buy that £1 shower gel on offer and thought ‘two birds one stone, I might as well get my eyebrows threaded'? Living in London, one can forget that ‘pamper’ time is meant to be luxurious, relaxed and enjoyable. Nowadays I just think ‘when can I fit in...

The Conservative party narrowly voted against Labour's bid to retain EU human rights measures in UK law post-Brexit last night by 311 votes to 301. Just one Conservative MP, Ken Clarke, defied the Government whip and voted for the motion to retain the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, put forward by Jeremy Corbyn. Civic organisations warned over the weekend that individual rights to privacy, equality, freedom of expression, fair working conditions, a fair trial, access to a lawyer and the protection of...

A new study has revealed a fascinating inter-generational divide over trust on the economy. Despite both parties being neck-and-neck overall, the Sky Data poll found huge splits between young and old. Of 18 to 34-year-olds, 62 per cent want Labour in charge of the nation's finances, versus 28 per cent for the Tories. Jeremy Corbyn's party also scrapes a narrow win among 35 to 54-year-olds, who favour it 41 per cent to the Conservatives' 39 per cent. But among those...

A trained pilot appeared in court yesterday charged with murdering his estranged wife who was beaten to death at her home. Andrew McIntosh, 54, was arrested last Wednesday (15/11) just half-an-hour after his nail technician partner Patricia, 56, was found dead.

A great-gran who celebrated her 100th birthday says the key to a long life is a packet of PORK SCRATCHINGS a day. Lily Welch swears by the salty pub snack - containing roughly 544 calories per pack - which she is forced to crunch with her set of false teeth. The sprightly centenarian doesn't drink or smoke - and only has one working kidney following an operation in her 80s. But Lily hails the roasted pig skin as her 'elixir...

Debbie Abrahams explains unemployment and making work pay in scathing letter to Chancellor Following the Chancellor's Exchequer bizarre gaffe on the weekend when he claimed that there are no unemployed people, the shadow secretary for work and pensions has written to him on the eve of his autumn budget pleading with him to acknowledge how squeezed many in the country are and offering to take him to visit one of the many foodbanks that have opened around the country under...

By Generation Borrowed Time  This coming budget promises to offer nothing more than the same gimmicks the PM already announced at the most recent conference. A conference that she would probably rather forget, and would rather we forgot also. There were a few policy announcements, if anybody remembers them from the conference rather than the letters falling off the stage behind her, the conference cold and some ‘comedian’. Policy announcements such as an unspecified amount put aside to deal with Brexit. However, there...

A new report published today has revealed shocking gender disparities in the art world in terms of valuations and earnings. The research reveals that in the high-end art world, just one of the top 100 lots sold at auction in 2015 was by a woman, and none of the top ten richest living artists are women. By contrast, women on Artfinder sell nearly 40 per cent more art, sell their work 16 per cent faster and for every £1 million...
