Watch – Corbyn is on fire! “Labour here if Tory’s coalition of chaos doesn’t work”
Well few people expected this, a triumphant return to the House of Commons after the election, everyone thought he would be crushed in. Ok, yes he didn't manage to secure the largest party, but some people were predicted the end of the Labour Party. Instead it looks like Theresa May's days are numbered.

A decanter which promises to keep open wine fresh for nearly two WEEKS has reached three times its fundraising target on Kickstarter. The 'eto' device uses a patented design to completely eliminate air in the decanter as it is sealed. This prevents oxidation and can therefore keep open wine fresh for up to 12 days, according to its British designer Tom Cotton, 43. The inventor launched a Kickstarter campaign earlier this month to raise £55,000 to put the decanter into...
Britain’s political talent drain should be a concern for us all
It is quite an admission from the long-term Councillor for Putney and newly-elected Deputy Mayor of Wandsworth Ian Lewer that a career in politics might be a stretch for him, but given the lack of talent that currently resides within Westminster it seems to be a problem facing many young people. In Lewer's opinion, one of the most depressing outcomes of this election is that it shows in "bold relief what little talent there is in politics today". Although this is...
