Shocking figures have emerged that show the true levels of pay-offs in the NHS, at the same time as the health service has been forced into numerous cost cutting measures. A Times article has discovered figures that show that during the last six years fifty thousand NHS workers have received pay-offs. Of that number three thousand were in senior positions and have pocketed up to £100,000 each in redundancy deals. Between 2015/16 £141 million alone was spent on severance packages,...

A 4.7 megawatt wind farm which is set to be built in one of the most deprived parts of the UK has won the 2016 Community Renewable Energy Project Award.

It is news that will not shock any Corbyn supporters, but the mainstream media outlets appear to be deliberately biased against the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn. We have reported on this situation before in previous articles. A YouGov poll has discovered that 51 per cent of people polled agreed that the mainstream media have gone out of their way to be biased against Corbyn. Under a third thought that the media was fair on the left-wing leader. Unsurprisingly, among Labour’s own...

With so many food trends having continued to flourish in 2016, it's often difficult to determine where one ends and another begins. The idea of 'Half plates', for instance (the specialty at Talli Joe), is fundamentally a new riff on the small plate culture that has taken London by storm, dividing opinions along the way. A modern Indian restaurant with Executive Chef Sameer Taneja at the helm (having previously led the kitchen at Michelin-starred Benares), Talli Joe is a refreshing new...

The Japanese government has used the start of the G20 Summit to warn Britain of the "great turmoil" that is to come if Brexit leads to the loss of single market privileges. An official Japanese government task force has collected views of big corporations in the country and produced a 15-page list titled "Japan's message to the UK and the EU", detailing requirements from Brexit negotiations and the consequences if these requirements are not delivered.

Our new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has announced that she will not introduce an Australian style points system to control the types of EU migration able to reach UK shores. May, who wanted the UK to remain part of the EU, said that the point-based idea is not workable.

The US president is the most powerful person on Earth. Only America has a military capable of launching an invasion anywhere in the world. America's economic power lets it put huge pressure on countries that act against its interests. And the cluster of alliances with the US at the centre allows its president to shape the world in ways never before possible for one person. That's why we watch American presidential elections with a combination of fervent interest and stomach...

Piers Morgan is not everyone’s cup of tea, I’ll level with you he isn’t mine, but today he took on two big-game hunters. A twelve-year-old called Aryanna Gourdin and father Eli had suffered a huge backlash on social media after posting a picture of a giraffe she had just killed. In her reaction to receiving death threats she said: "I'm very upset that people would value an animal's life over another person's. "I try to ignore most of the comments...
