The prankster who famously handed Theresa May a fake P45 after gatecrashing her Tory conference speech joked about catching the beleaguered PM's COLD. Comedian Simon Brodkin, 40, who performed under his alter-ego Lee Nelson, told an audience he had "quite a bad cough" and "caught something off Theresa". The comic also boasted to the Glee Club in Nottingham that he had spent the night in a police cell following the stunt which was beamed around the world. Warming up the...

Damien Green appeared on BBC’s Question Time and tried his best to defend a disastrous Conservative Party Conference so bereft of ideas that the Tory message literally falling apart on the wall behind Theresa May as she spoke made the front pages. The day after Theresa May - with only 30% of her own party members believing she should not quit - gave a make or break speech, in which the highlight was a prankster handing her a P45, the...

Prince Harry kicked off the 3rd Invictus games in Toronto last week. 1500 volunteers, 550 competitors and 17 nations came together to compete in 12 engaging sports. And as it came to an amazing close, two things were on our minds throughout the entire competition: What will Meghan wear today and why Toronto?  With Meghan’s outfits already covered multiple times, The London Economic set out to answer the other puzzling question, as we indulged in the sporty side to one...

Prime Minister Theresa May has called into question the vetting of conference attendees after police investigations showed Johnson had legitimate accreditation granting him access to the hall, despite being a lying shitbag. The police confirmed that once an application has been passed to them by the Conservative party it is their job to screen for relevant activity that would prohibit attendance, such as ‘talking like a knitwit’ and ‘falsifying claims for personal gain and blatant careerism’. Despite the embarrassment Met...
