By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Moments before PMQs began the news reported that twelve journalists and policemen had been shot, due to their controversial cartoon satire. The PM condemned the attack, as did Ed. Prior to the terrorist atrocity the only story leading the news was the NHS crisis and Ed would not let the Cameron bury bad news today. Almost every Labour (and Lib) question focused on the problems in our health service. In the early exchanges there was...

By Corrina Antrobus @corrinacorrina There are twists in Foxcatcher that go beyond what we know of the true story of Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz and his relationship with millionaire coach John du Pont. Steve Carell with a huge prosthetic nose puppeteering Channing Tatum in a leotard and a face like a rucksack, sounds like a recipe for a naff comedy. However Foxcatcher, directed by Bennett Miller, is a tender, rich and incredibly sad drama with a throbbing sinister vein. If...

By Stephen Mayne  @finalreel On 28th November 1979, Air New Zealand sightseeing flight 901 crashed into Mount Erebus in Antarctica killing all 257 people on board. The fourth deadliest crash in history at the time, the subsequent retrieval mission set the template for the grisly job of air crash recovery. Erebus: Into the Unknown focusses on this operation, offering an occasionally interesting account hampered by a SparkNotes approach and half-hearted forays into conspiracy territory. Director Charlotte Purdy’s documentary is interested...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic Fanatically 'anti' fans are making non-league clubs in London increasingly political. London is no stranger to the inexplicable mix of politics and football. Class warfare, religious differences, industrial disputes; the terraces of London’s football clubs are the people’s benches of Westminster. But of late, the once concealed relationship between football and politics has come to the fore in the shape of left-leaning Ultra fans. Ultras are typically the type of sports fans...

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle Madonna has annoyed everybody And by everybody, I do of course mean ‘me’. And a load of other people, but mostly me. OH HIYA I’m back, it’s 2015, and I’ve started two sentences with the word ‘and’. Quite what Mr Fleck would make of that, I don’t care to know. Back to more pressing issues than my lackadaisical approach to grammar and education: Madonna. I’ve long been of the opinion that Madonna should just...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Dear Steven, It saddens me greatly to hear that you are leaving Liverpool Football Club at the end of the season.  After a beautiful 25 year relationship, you have decided to start a new life over in the United States.  Now I know all good things have to come to an end, but why so soon Steven?  You still have so much to offer Liverpool – we still...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport As the NFL Wildcard weekend comes to an end, here’s a look back on an instant classic, the Ravens rising and two young quarterbacks making their mark on history. For me, the best game of the weekend was in Dallas.  As I have mentioned before the Dallas Cowboys are known as 'America's Team' and maybe they didn't deserve it before but this year they have certainly lived up to their unofficial nickname....

By Simon Bennison - Food writer Located to the north of Edinburgh city centre, Stockbridge is home to some of the finest independent businesses, acclaimed gastropubs, cycling cafes serving their own coffee roasts, and an eclectic array of record, clothing and book shops. It’s an area of character, one that you would take visitors to for a feel of real life in the city. Housing some of Edinburgh’s best places to eat, it is a competitive place to run a...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor I always thought I was in good (ish) shape. Without trying to show off, I run or do weights pretty much every day (I’m still overweight; I drink too much). However, last year I tore my meniscus (cartilage in my knee I found out later) which was a bit of a wake-up call. I realised I was 33 and perhaps not the ironman I thought I was (more iron age). But after I finally recovered from...
