The NHS is in a mess. Doctors say it. The BMA says it. Journalists say it. And most importantly patients say it. The only people who don’t say it are the Tory government. During today’s PMQs Corbyn made another telling performance, attacking May on the health service, and the “post-truths” her party has made up about it. May said there was £10bn extra funding for the NHS but that figure has been questioned by the UK Statistics Authority, and the...

The World’s Largest Lego Ship docked in Trafalgar Square last week as part of a UK tour that ends in Dover before setting sail to Copenhagen. The ship was built as part of DFDS’ 150th Anniversary and consists of over a million Lego bricks. It took 900 hours to construct and stretches 12 metres long! A time-lapse film of the construction has also been released: Vital statistics: Length:12.035m Width: 1.67m Height: 2.72m Weight: 2,860kg Number of Lego bricks used: 1,015,000 Time to build: 900...

OK Go's 2009 music video for breakthrough hit 'Here It Goes Again' has almost 34 million views. 34 MILLION. Since then the LA indie rockers have taken every opportunity to use their music videos to join the charmingly practical with high-concept technicality, and their new cut for 'The One Moment' continues the tradition in fine style. That's a lot of exploding paint cans, burst water balloons and splintered guitars, but the results are pretty phenomenal! The video was made in...

It’s ironic that The Unmarried, where “gig meets theatre” by Lauren Gauge, part of Camden People’s Theatre’s All the Right Notes, starts off with a rendition of The Rhythm of Life by Beatbox Academy artists Kate and Nate because it is precisely that that Gauge’s character Luna is running from. Luna’s a lager lout out for a good time. Gauge’s choice of theatrical genre echoes that of Jim Cartwright’s Raz, which some months ago played at Trafalgar Square Studios and...

The UK is $1.5 trillion poorer since voting to leave the European Union, according to a Credit Suisse study. Since the referendum in June the pound has weakened 16 per cent against the dollar, with plenty more misery to come according to recent reports. Brexit Secretary David Davis recently met with the European Parliament's chief negotiator Guy Verhofstadt to start proceedings, although it is understood he faced stern opposition. After senior German politician Manfred Weber met Davis in Strasbourg on Tuesday he...

Vaccinations in the Workplace: Can They Save Your Business Money? Every kind of business in every sector relies on its employees to either offer customers and clients a reliable service and/or generate revenues.

There are strong moral and social arguments that place responsibility on employers to protect personnel from common illnesses like flu, or any international diseases such as...

In the wake of Brexit and a sweeping victory for the Republicans in America the Conservatives appear to be about to release one of the most centre-left Autumn Statements in recent history. Chancellor Philip Hammond is expected to announce a ban on letting agent fees, which can cost renters hundreds of pounds a year in England and Wales, and implement change to the Universal Credit taper rate - the pace at which benefits are withdrawn after a claimant finds work...

The Conservative Government has come under fire for its repeated promise of a £10bn increase in funding for the struggling National Health Service. The UK Statistics Authority are questioning the veracity of the claims, as the National Audit Office has described the NHS problems as “endemic” and “unsustainable.” It appears that the ten billion claim, if real, would help solve some of the NHS funding issues, but this doesn’t appear to be the case. The UK Statistics Authority, an independent...
