Selfless teenager Amy McIlroy went to buy homeless lad Liam Anderson, 20, a sandwich from coffee chain Starbucks after she saw him shaking from the cold. Liam said he was "very thankful" to the 14-year-old for the food but "shocked" by the attitude of the Starbuck's staff member who he...

When looking for ways to bring about equality and improve the lives of minorities we must be bold enough to call time on a bad idea and come up with a new solution. This, it could be argued, is true in the case of bisexuals and tethering their equality to the LGBT movement.  LGBT groups have long represented the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people but campaigning for four minorities that deal with completely different issues could actually...

There was a time when the release of a new Pixar film was looked upon by critics and consumers alike as something of a cultural event. But recent years have proved there to be major chinks in the animation powerhouse’s creative armour; the shameless merchandising of the Cars franchise; the growing dependence on sub-par sequels to fill the slate; the ever-greater reliance on a specific series of narrative & thematic tropes. Though their output remains consistently entertaining, the heartfelt intellect...

This is the shocking moment a police officer was injured after being caught in the middle of a gang-related ammonia attack in a city centre. Dramatic body-cam footage captures a WPC coughing and spluttering after the chemical was thrown from drink bottles outside a busy McDonalds restaurant.

During Business Questions today, Shadow Leader of the House Valerie Vaz attacked the Tory government's record on the handling of the Carillion collapse: "It looks like we are back to the 'casino economy' - my Honourable Friend the Member for Bolsover (Mr Skinner) has left the Chamber, but that used to be his favourite phrase — one which brings devastation to people’s lives," said the Labour MP. "Short sellers made £137 million when Carillion’s share price fell by 70% over...

January has arrived and the nation's mood has switched from chestnuts roasting on an open fire to wet socks drying on an exposed radiator. With the nights still long and the weather unremittingly miserable we pick at life's little pleasures to see out the worst of the winter, and what better place to start than with a warming, full bodied bottle of red. La Bohème, Act Four is a fine wine shipped from the famed Yarra Valley in Australia. Like its...

After five long months, my friend, fellow broadcaster and activist, Hisham Al-Omeisy was finally released by his Houthi captors on Sunday 14 January 2018. Nothing can explain the emotion this image of Hisham, now a free man, with his sons evokes in those of us who have campaigned for his freedom every day since his kidnap (or as the Yemeni authorities would say  ‘detainment’) on 14 August 2017. I had discovered Hisham whilst co-hosting a news and current affairs show on...

The victim of a notorious sex offender says it was like being 'abused all over again' after a legal anomaly meant he was quizzed in court - by his attacker. The man, who can not be named, has launched a plea to change the 'barbaric' legal system in Jersey after the perverted teacher was allowed to cross-examine him.
