Millions of Brits are lacking basic kitchen skills – with one in five admitting they can’t boil an egg, a study has found.

Women are judged negatively if they choose to take maternity leave – and if they don’t – new research suggests. In a study of workers’ attitudes, mothers who took time off to care for babies were seen as less committed and competent at work. Meanwhile, those who continued working were viewed as less caring parents. The results suggest women are “damned” either way, according to lead author Dr Thekla Morgenroth, of the University of Exeter. “This is a no-win situation...
