By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor It says a lot about PMQs that a plain grey T-shirt (it looked a bit C & A if I’m honest, if that store even exists anymore) was by far the most interesting event at today’s PMQs. Harriet Harman, wore a feminist T-shirt following the PM refusal to wear it for a women’s mag feature. “T-shirtgate” (I doubt I’m the first or last “inspired” journalist to come up with that) tweeted a picture of herself...
TLE campaigns to scrap the nominal card charge on card transactions. The next time you’re asked to pay a nominal 50p or £1 charge in a shop, bar and restaurant for using your card, ask yourself why you’re paying it.

I’m not too sure if the Elle Women in Hollywood awards was designed as a vehicle for the global tearing apart of its attendees, but that’s what it came to when Zellweger hit the red carpet.

Despite being well aware of how much Newmarket folk like their horses it wasn't until I arrived that I realised just how much they like them.
