Parliamentary Sketch 29th October – Dip me in the water, watch me drown

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...

Scrap the Nominal Fee

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. It may seem inconsequential, but a 50p charge for paying on a card is an excessive and unduly fee. We’ve all felt aggrieved at some point for paying it, but the proliferation of shops passing down the transaction fees charged...

The Bedford Spa Hotel – Review

I've never been to Newmarket, but like most people I know I've lost quite a lot of money there, the town's racecourse getting the better of me on numerous occasions. 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. In Newmarket it isn’t just a sport, nor just a tool for draining your bank balance on misguided punts, it’s almost a religion. But...
