Labour will take no lessons from Donald Trump who wants to deny healthcare to millions in America with a system that checks your purse before it checks your pulse, Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said today. In a speech to parliament the Labour MP referenced protests this weekend that saw thousands of Brits take to the street in protest of a health system that is crumbling at the seams. He said: "The NHS model isn't broke, but it does need more funding"....

A statement released by the Centre for Brexit Studies has today completely ridiculed Theresa May's position on the customs union. The Prime Minister has ruled out a customs union with the EU in what has been described as a significant departure from previous policy. Whilst previous policy effectively ruled out membership of the European Union Customs Union (EUCU), it did not rule out membership of a customs union with the EU. Indeed, during Theresa May’s speech of 17th January 2017 when...

“This experiment could unleash chaos” remarks Donal Logue’s faceless news pundit about a third of the way through this unexpected, and frankly unnecessary addition to the Cloverfield saga. Though the first two films – 2008’s Cloverfield and 2016’s 10 Cloverfield Lane – didn’t share any direct DNA within their separate narratives, they did both function as effective post-9/11 paranoia pieces; melding blockbuster thrills with timely considerations on how we can feed on and be consumed, both individually & collectively, by...

Donald Trump today used the NHS as a reason not to push for Universal Health Care in the US. The President pointed to demonstrations yesterday in the UK with thousands of Brits taking to the streets to protest the poorly run system. But even though Trump might have a point about the UK, he doesn't have a leg to stand on in regards to publicly funded health care systems. Indeed, many people have pointed out that some of the best healthcare...

After tens of thousands of Brits descended on the capital to march through central London to Westminster to demand the NHS is protected from cuts and privatisation this weekend, the US President rounded on the march to attack Democrats fighting him for universal healthcare for Americans. Donald Trump tweeted: "The Democrats are pushing for Universal HealthCare while thousands of people are marching in the UK because their U system is going broke and not working. Dems want to greatly raise...

Is this the world’s weirdest job interview? Keen candidates were yesterday put through their paces in a bid to land one of the oddest jobs on the planet – as a scarer at Thorpe Park Resort during their upcoming Year of The Walking Dead. After a more conventional face-to-face interview, applicants donned creepy head-to-toe zombie costumes. They then underwent an hour each in the make-up chair to complete the look before climbing 127ft (38.7 metres) onto the platform of one...

Carillion have today been described as "callous" after they sent staff emails on Saturday simply telling them not to bother turning up for work on Monday. The official reciever this morning confirmed a further 452 posts had been made redundant. According to staff they were notified by email at the weekend which advised them not to turn up to work. Rehana Azam, GMB National Secretary said: "Loyal Carillion staff are being treated with utter contempt by PWC. “The receiver told the...
