David Davies, our esteemed Brexit Minister, has been accused of not really having any idea what Brexit means. This will come as no surprise to many Remain, and, if they are honest with themselves, some Leave voters as well. Manfred Weber, a German MEP, and Chair of centre-right European People’s Party, made his comments after a meeting with Davis, which didn’t sound vert productive. Weber was highly critical of the lack of a plan from the UK regarding Brexit, he...
A report has found that the fall-out from Brexit has reduced UK household wealth, by a huge sum, in the months since the British public voted to leave the EU. The sky-high figure of £1.5 trillion was slashed from the pockets of UK citizens. The report, by Credit Suisse, also found that the number of people in the UK who have more than one million dollars has reduced by almost 15 per cent, one of the largest drops in any...
Voice Note. Who calls it a voice note? If you tuned in for the latest episode of Made in Chelsea last night and pulled the same crinkled expression of bewilderment every time JP freaked out about the drunken “voice note” message Binky sent then don’t worry, you’re not alone. Mail. Surely it’s voicemail? Or is there something else at play? First of all, a bit of context. Binky and JP are one of the on/off couples that are officially back...
By Bea Patel, TLE Property Editor and Director of Shop for an Agent According to the Aldermore First-Time Buyer Index, getting on the property ladder is ‘extremely difficult’, said nearly four in ten first-time buyers. The two biggest obstacles were raising a large deposit and increasing house prices. We compare the original monopoly board, just over 80 years old with the new 2016 board created by Barratt London, which features the 22 cheapest boroughs in the capital for first-time buyers....
By Sean Sheehan As second cities go, Denmark’s doesn't jump out at you as a must see. It is less than a hundred miles from Copenhagen but only as the crow flies and the circuitous land route takes far longer. And much more enjoyable. Aarhus is located on the eastern coast of Jutland, a relatively unvisited pocket of northern Europe for world travellers. But change is in the air: it will soon be the European Capital of Culture 2017 and the...
Following the recent confirmation of the expansion to Heathrow Airport, and subsequently Zac Goldsmith’s resignation, it is unsurprising that rising property taxes were the topic of conversation as Nick Clegg and Liberal Democrat candidate Sarah Olney recently met with Richmond High Street business owners. Whilst businesses in Richmond upon Thames face a staggering £70m increase in business rates over the next 5 years, Heathrow Airport, the issue at the centre of the current by-election, in comparison received a tax cut...
By Wyndham Hacket Pain “At that time your show was the most important show in the world,” Nas proclaims of The Strech Armstrong and Bobbito Show, which transmitted weekly between 1 am to 5 am on the college radio station WKCR. Interest in the programme reached such heights in the 1990's that there was a black market of bootlegged radio records that went across the USA and the broadcast was even referenced in the Wu-Tang Clan’s iconic song C.R.E.A.M. The...
Fabric nightclub is to reopen after a rescue deal was approved by a judge, according to new reports. In what was described by our Northern Correspondent John Locke as a "bullshit decision", the nightclub was closed down in September after two teenagers died after taking drugs at the club. But today a district judge at Highbury Corner Magistrates agreed the club could reopen following talks with police and Islington Council JUST ANNOUNCED: @fabriclondon will reopen. Thanks to all who helped find...
By Rebecca Root Brexit has brought with it an immeasurable scale of uncertainty but there’s one thing that is certain, and that’s the inflated costs to international NGOs. The declining value of the pound, loss of EU funding and increased inflation rates are all leaving charities at a loss that’s going to have an impact on the work they can deliver. Lepra is based in Colchester and runs overseas projects in India, Bangladesh and Mozambique where they tackle neglected diseases...
