Chilling FOI request reveals “pernicious” cuts that belie Theresa May’s Queen’s Speech vows

Today's Queen’s Speech was stripped of so many of Theresa May’s unpopular manifesto promises such as winter fuel allowance cuts that it seemed Her Majesty couldn’t be bothered to put her customary regal crown and furs on to get down to business but appeared in a powder blue outfit fit for her dash to catch the 2.30pm first race at Royal Ascot, more importantly. Instead of their vote losing and controversial manifesto commitments, Conservatives were briefing that they would seek policies...

Hampstead: Film Review

By Linda Marric Loosely based on real life events and staring two of the most accomplished actors of their generation, Hampstead is a big-hearted romantic comedy which is only slightly let down by a less than believable narrative and an even more far-fetched premise. Directed by Joel Hopkins and written by Robert Festinger, the film has two plot lines running alongside each other, one being a David versus Goliath tale about the dangers of mindless gentrification, and the other one...

Edith Walks: Film Review

By Michael McNulty Andrew Kötting’s Edith Walks is an absurdist, quasi-journey, experimental documentary that follows Kötting and a merry band of travellers (the role of Edith played by singer Claudia Barton, complete with irritating pixie girl voice and flowing medieval gown) as they walk from Waltham Abbey via Battle Abbey to St. Leonards-on-Sea, where there exists a large statue of King Harold. For those unfamiliar, the Edith of the title refers to Edith Swan Neck, who was the fast hand...

Is This Britain’s Smallest Puppy? – Tiny Tim Was Born Smaller Than A Can Of Irn Bru

Thankfully the tiny terrier, who was a pup from a litter of six, came back to life with a few gasps of air. However, teeny Tim wasn’t out...

Day of Rage: Have the national media got it wrong again?

The national media's coverage of the Day of Rage protests could be well off the mark after reports emerged that there are likely to be more "press than protesters" at the event. Media outlets have reacted with rage this morning accusing the far left of "hijacking" the grief of Grenfell Tower victims. The Daily Express cited concerns that the UK’s emergency services are already “overstretched and exhausted” in its coverage. It also ran a quote from Tory MEP Daniel Hannan who...
