Theresa May is officially stuck between a rock and a hard place. With one of the most divisive issues in a generation on the table she has somehow managed to make compromises on both sides and yet end up pleasing no one. Treasury PPS Scott Mann and Witney MP Robert Courts are the latest Brexiters to walk out on the back of the controversial Chequers deal. They join the Brexit Secretary, Foreign Secretary and five others on a list that is...

Rescue teams scrambled to the scene but incredibly no one was hurt

Treasury Parliamentary Private Secretary Scott Mann has handed his resignation in protest over the so-called "Chequers Deal". Mann becomes the ninth MP to hand in his resignation in eight days after David Davis and Boris Johnson led the way last week. (10 MPs if you include May ally Andrew Griffiths resigning over filthy texts to constituents.) Robert Courts, who represents David Cameron's former seat of Witney in Oxfordshire, announced he will also walk away in a Tweet sent out yesterday. The...

Britain's anti-Trump protest was the largest against any foreign leader ever in the country's history, according to MSNBC reports. More than 250,000 demonstrators took to the streets to protest against Donald Trump's visit, with Trafalgar Square and other key London landmarks bustling with campaigners throughout the day. Jeremy Corbyn joined protesters, telling them Theresa May shouldn't have "rolled out the red carpet" for the US president after his treatment of immigrants.

The famous postcode of NW3 is known for impeccable homely feel, leafy streets and its ruthless approach to neighbourhood restaurants: with refined palettes to serve and high rents to pay, only the best survive. Enter Delicatessen, a confusingly-named modern Middle Eastern restaurant from the owners of similarly kosher restaurants Head Room Cafe, Pzazza, and Soyo. It’s nicely placed in the middle of the buzzy Rosslyn Hill, with Carluccio's on one side and Café Hampstead on the other. That’s confidence for...

People tend to have preconceived opinions about meetings. While some of this may be true, a lot of it is due to the fact that meetings are not conducted efficiently. According to research by Sauder School of Business, seating arrangements can have a major impact on the way people think. Old school meetings, with their large sober toned rooms, rectangular tables and formal “boardroom” style seating are now slowly making way for a different kind of room, one that fosters...

Peter Bogdanovich got off to a filmmaker’s dream start. Between 1968 and 1973 he made his first four films. Targets was a highly promising debut; a tense thriller, a triumph of ingenuity to use a few days of filming that Boris Karloff owed to Roger Corman. Then he made The Last Picture Show; a beautiful elegy for a small town that is maybe my favourite film of all time. He followed that with the glorious screwball comedy What’s Up Doc?...

Jenson Button is leading calls from the motoring industry to get more women involved in engineering. The former F1 champion and Santander UK ambassador appeared alongside a host of high-profile speakers at the Formula Student World Finals in Silverstone. He said female engineers are already making a big difference in motor sport, but that we need a far higher percentage in order to address imbalances. “It vital to push for more women working in mechanical engineering,” Button argued. “Many Le...
