According to the results four times as many Labour supporters favour that option as oppose it, and more than twice as many in this group want Corbyn to support a second...

No, you aren't dreaming. The Right Wing hack behind Dodgy David Cameron's 'PigGate' scandal did say this, on live television: "Jeremy Corbyn is playing this beautifully. There is a much more worrying bigger picture here for the Conservatives in the opportunity that they have created for Jeremy Corbyn to underline his case: that unfettered free markets don't work, and that somehow or other Carillion symbolises everything that is wrong about the system.

Donald Trump is being reminded of comments he made in 2013 when he called for the then President Barack Obama to step down over government shutdowns. Speaking on Fox & Friends he said: "Well, if you say who gets fired it always has to be the top. "I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top and the president’s the leader. And he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got...

The critic Roger Ebert once said, “movies are like a machine that generates empathy”, which perhaps explains why so many of us feel compelled to turn towards the loving embrace of cinema to console us in times of great trouble.

Traditionally, it seems iniquitous to celebrate with any drink other than Scotch whisky. First created in 1824, The Glenlivet is considered the original Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, renowned for...

If Donald Trump thinks he's seen the worst of the revelations following the release of Fire and Fury then he has another thing coming. This week the magazine InTouch published its full interview with pornographic actor Stephanie Clifford, who goes by the stage name Stormy Daniels, with some extraordinary details leaked. The magazine had previously released excerpts of the interview. In the full version Clifford details at length her 2006 relationship with the businessman, including encounters with his entourage, his teetotaling...

A REAL life Daniel Blake has told how he fears the Tory benefit cuts will leave him dead. David Coe, 60, had a heart attack an HOUR after leaving a Job Centre - just like the unemployed carpenter in the title role of the acclaimed British movie. David, who worked in catering for 20 years before falling ill, ‘flatlined’ for nine minutes. Medics saved his life and he spent a week in hospital last February. He had been told to...

Today in Parliament Karen Buck MP laid bare the shocking reality of the parlous state of British Housing: "We must await the Inquiry of the horror of Grenfell Tower, but what we do know is that resident's were raising fire safety concerns about the cladding long before the fire. This cladding may have been unfit and hazardous - something surely was.
