When is skin care just right and when is it too much? It is a perennial question that women and even men who put a premium on good skin care and think that great skin is one of the best investments ask all the time. When you think about the personal attention and beauty industry fast growing into its trillionth dollar value, you can just deduce that people think that there is never enough. The growing popularity of the Korean...

The Daily Mail's hypocritical editorial line has been summed up perfectly in a tweet exposing two vastly different editorial pieces published within two weeks of each other. The Mail, which backed Theresa May in the run-up to the election along with the majority of other mainstream publishers, ran an editorial before the General Election praising the Conservative party leader for been honest in her manifesto. It read: "With a clear ethical - even Christian - tone this vicar's daughter took...

A comedy night arranged in aid of people affected by the Grenfell Tower fire has been lambasted for not having a single person of colour on its 12-header bill. The Kerb Productions event running at the Eventim Apollo features a star-studded line up including Michael Mcintyre, Jo Brand, Micky Flanagan and Josh Widdicombe, but fails to feature any non-white comedians. The lack of diversity has caused a stir on social media after writer and television host Nikesh Shukla highlighted the noticeable...

A vegetarian beef farmer has made the incredible gesture of donating a herd of 59 cows to a vegan sanctuary and is working to convert his farm to a vegan one. Jay Wilde has been farming cows all his life but could no longer accept making money from them and decided to donate the herd to Hillside Animal Sanctuary in Norfolk last Monday. The Ashbourne-based 59-year-old is also in the process of turning his farm vegan with the help of...

  By Daniel Khalili-Tari One of the US’s greatest exports is arms. Cuba’s is doctors. In the US citizens can die if they can’t afford healthcare. But in Cuba, universal healthcare is free. The US’s adult literacy rate is not known. Cuba’s however, is 100 per cent. Why is the Trump administration so valiant in maintaining an unjust embargo on the Caribbean island, located only 103 miles from the US? Why punish a country which wants to govern itself, in an...

For all the negative press football and football supporters get, one couldn't help but feel a little choked up on Tuesday night when the French and English national teams and their fans came together to sing Manchester's anthem Don't Look Back in Anger in an effort to remind the global community of football's unifying spirit in times of adversity. The message of solidarity echoed the repeat fixture two years ago when both sets of fans sang La Marseillaise at Wembley in the wake of the Paris...
