War heroes that served in Iraq and Afghanistan are being "forgotten about", according to a new study that unveils a shocking lack of awareness around modern warfare. Despite the ongoing sacrifices made by heroic men and women, more than three quarters of people feel British soldiers and veterans are often neglected after returning from duty or leaving the armed forces, with eight in ten UK adults think British soldiers and veterans should have more support when they come back from service....

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has the green light to start privatising the National Health Service, according to Owen Smith. The Labour leadership candidate accused the Tory government of secretly dismantling parts of the NHS and handing them over to the private sector. Department of Health (DH) figures show the amount spent on private sector health services has more than doubled to 7.6 per cent of the NHS budget since the Conservatives came to power in 2010. Mr Smith said: "It is...

This news will anger the millions of voters who voted for the UK to leave the European Project. There is a fear that Britain is “not ready” to leave the European Union, meaning the UK might remain part of the EU for a few more years. This would give the Conservative Government more time to ensure the exit is in the best interests of the UK and the more generous trade deals have been negotiated. However, many Brexiteers will be...

In a high court decision, Labour’s ruling body, the NEC, has managed to overturn right of new members to vote in the election for the next leader of the party. Owen Smith and Jeremy Corbyn will go head-to-head in September but 130,000 newly paid up members who signed up less than six months ago, will be cut from the contest. They will not be able to vote and it is thought many of these members would have voted for Jeremy...

Ok we can’t be sure on this statistic, but if anyone could give us a decent estimate it would be the Institute of Fiscal Studies. They have calculated, that if we trigger Article 50 and leave the European project once and for all, the cost would be £75bn a year. This would equate to almost three grand per household, a huge figure. They believe that the country would be poorer by 4 per cent of GDP per annum. If the...

In a move that will shock many as the Mayor of Cannes, on the south coast of France, has decided to ban “burkinis.” The all-body swimwear are used predominantly by Muslim women to protect their modesty in line with their religious beliefs. The Mayor cited public order issues, for bringing in the ban, which would see people wearing the swimsuit fined almost 40 euros (£33). Before they are slapped with the fine, they will be asked to change their clothing...

This isn’t sour grapes, if I inherited £9bn I would be dead within the hour, I couldn’t be trusted with that amount of money, to be honest I am not sure who can. Well one young man, 25-year-old Hugh Grosvenor, has just been handed his late father’s (the Duke of Westminster) legacy of £9bn. Firstly, he must still be grieving at his father’s sudden death and certain groups have laid into him quite harshly. It isn’t his fault his father...

A host of local businesses have been given a platform at the soon-to-open Deptford Market Yard. Some of the best start-ups and independents from Deptford’s buzzing creative and entrepreneurial community will take residence within the renovated historical railway arches next to Deptford station, building on the already thriving local market and retail scene. Many of the new businesses are local start-ups who will have their first permanent, physical space in the outlet. Previously they’ve run street food trucks, pop up shops and market stalls in the...

Ronald Reagan's daughter has sent a powerful message to Donald Trump about advocating assassination. Patti Davis, whose father Ronald survived an assassination attempt in 1981, said his "glib and horrifying comment about second amendment people" could appeal to people who see unbridled violence as a way to make their mark in the world. Her comments come as John Hinckley, her father's attacker, is released from a psychiatric hospital after a three-decade long stint. Although Hinckley won't be able to own a gun or...
