Today Piers Morgan announced that he will be the new UKIP leader and has called for a snap general election to become Prime Minister. The Government is in disarray following the High Court ruling over triggering Article 50 and UKIP believe now is the time to seize power and finally quash all lefty-liberal-bleeding-heart politics. A UKIP statement read 'Nigel Farrage has masterminded Brexit and the Trump presidency, so we are confident Morgan will be the next PM with Nigel's backing'....

Donald Trump is on track to win the US election against all odds. The Republican candidate has won the key swing states of Ohio and Florida, and is now projected to win in single figures. After 43 white male presidents some believe a female president following the first black president was a step too far for some Americans, and that's certainly the social media reaction to it. Many believe this is an anti-establishment vote similar to Britain's Brexit vote on...

I’ve been working for press agencies selling stories to the national press for almost 15 years now. The vast majority of news and features comes from independent press agencies and journalists who get paid for finding and writing the stories. The one thing all of my friends ask me is ‘how much do people get paid for selling their story?’  The simple answer is, not as much as they did in the past. However, since 'how much do newspapers pay...

The poverty crisis in the UK has now been highlighted in Wales, as a new report has highlighted the levels of depravation in the country. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation, who carried out the study, also worry that the situation could deteriorate further as the UK withdraws from the EU. The Government's austerity measures have also exacerbated the problems. It is feared that leaving the EU will increase poverty in Wales, which will eat into the annual budget that already uses...

Yesterday the Prime Minister’s bilateral trade talks with India made a mockery of post-Brexit immigration promises in one foul swoop after Narendra Modi made it clear that the relaxing of visa laws was a requisite of any trade deal. And if you think we can expect different treatment elsewhere, think again. You see, in economics you never get something for nothing. You have supply of something and demand for something else, and those two things must coexist in order to...

By Marcus Hendriks Perhaps the overriding sentiment towards the election currently pervading New York City is one of apathy. On one level this is unsurprising, as the primaries and secondaries have by now combined to form a long, protracted process of over one year. But on another, this is an election after all, a fairly important affair. This attitude is even observable in the news coverage. Today, a Fox News anchor’s exhaustion was unsuccessfully masked by humour when commenting that even...

A trip to the beach in the UK today is now the healthiest time to go for 250 YEARS. They are now the cleanest our coastal areas have been since before he industrial revolution began. The EA (Environmental Agency) carried out a series of tests on UK beaches and discovered that almost 94 per cent of bathing beaches and lakes have the highest cleanliness ratings. Shockingly, back in 1990 only 28 per cent of these places were at the highest...

A staggering 16.1 million people have today visited their GP reporting strange and unusual symptoms similar to re-experiencing a traumatic event, the NHS has revealed. Dr Paul Sagar, a GP at a surgery in Clapton, Hackney told the London Economic “It’s chaos. I've had literally hundreds come to see me this morning. They're all sitting in my waiting room necking their flat whites listening to radio 4, sweating relentlessly.” “No one can give me any information but their symptoms seem...

Ok this isn't as scientific as an Ipsos/Mori poll, but traditional polls aren't exactly doing very well, so why not listen to a goat? I was, and still am sceptical about this animal's psychic ability, but it chose Clinton to win, and that's enough for me. It turns out that Boots the goat is a professional psychic that predicts political outcomes. The 3-year-old goat from Jedburgh, Scotland, beat many pundits by correctly asserting that the United Kingdom would vote to...
