With just over a week until one of the most hyped referendums in British history, newspapers across the country today lead with the headline: 'Ten days to save the UK'. According to a weekend poll the "Yes" to independence campaign is two percentage points ahead of their Better Together adversaries sending ripples across Fleet Street as the notion of a Scottish split takes a step closer to reality. Alistair Darling says he's still confident the NO vote will win, but Alex Salmond says the latest...

By Charlotte Stringer, Style Editor at STYLIGHT.co.uk There are many people who have become pillars of the fashion industry, however, no one has left their mark quite like Karl Lagerfeld. On 10th September the legendary designer turns another year older (although how old, we can’t quite say as Lagerfeld lives by the maxim that one should never reveal one’s true age - fair enough!) Yet regardless of age, King Karl has become one of fashion’s most talked about figures. Image...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic  To an outsider it may seem rather perverse that a wine region that has undergone such change in the past century and a half still champions a classification of its chateaux that dates back to 1855, but for Bordeaux, it's actually quite typical.

By Adam Clark @AdamClarkers Luc Besson’s Lucy treads the line between ambition and wilful eccentricity with mixed results. The set-up is fairly simple - Scarlett Johansson gets mixed up with a gang in Taiwan, where she becomes the unwilling drug mule for a new superdrug intended for the European party scene. However the drug has the potential to unlock ‘100% of the human cerebral capacity’ and transforms Johansson from naive victim to superhuman killer seeking both revenge and survival. The...

By Chris Brown @vivabrownie Chris argues why you should give the often maligned sport a chance this season If you switch the television on and catch the beginning of an opening NFL game, just stop what you’re doing and allow yourself to absorb the scene for a moment. Notice the colour, the fireworks, the cheerleaders, the smoke, the razzmatazz - this is big time spectacle sport, this is the NFL. Some people will watch the NFL and be unperturbed by...

By Sal Lahoud A few weeks into the campaign, and there is now no escaping it. The #IceBucketChallenge is everywhere. Celebrities, individuals and companies all over the world are doing it and Facebook feeds are clogged up with the latest of your friends to have been nominated. If you haven’t been nominated yet, it’s only a matter of time. We’ve seen Arsenal football players get revenge on the referee with a nomination; Alex Salmond nominate David Cameron at a time...

By Tom Parker With the news yesterday that cases of skin cancer have almost doubled over the last 5 years in the UK, the question we should be asking is who or what is to blame? Many of us love a tan and enjoy nothing more than lying around on a beach somewhere, but do you think of the consequences that it may have on the health on your skin? We live in a society that values not only a...
