By Tom Colclough Trump's victory is a disaster for too many people to list. The stories coming out of America already, of Muslim girls attacked in the streets, swastikas emblazoned in cities up and down the country and the sight of a Venezuelan cleaner breaking down in tears at work remind many of a Britain post-Brexit where race-hate began to ooze out of the cracks in its walls. Forever a reminder that these grand elections have direct consequences on people's lives, they...

More than 62 years of extra prison hours were imposed on London prisoners last year in a system that is buckling under pressure. A huge 22,000 days of additional imprisonment were handed out to rule-breaking inmates across London's seven prisons in 2015. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) statistics show that, across England and Wales, the number of additional days’ imprisonment imposed has increased by 30 per cent in a year. Prisons across England and Wales, under growing pressure due to overcrowding...

Forget cutting edge green technology, according to a new scientific study bird poop could be the key to combating climate change. Researchers at the Colorado State University who are working to better understand key components of Arctic climate systems have linked ammonia emissions from summertime Arctic seabird-colony excrement, called guano, to newly formed atmospheric aerosol particles which can in turn influence Arctic cloud properties and their effects on climate. Publishing in Nature Communications and featured by the American Association for the...

The full English is a mainstay of British breakfast tables, but what is the recipe for the perfect plateful? According to new research, the ultimate fry-up contains two sausages, two rashers of bacon, fried eggs, mushrooms, toast, beans and fried tomatoes and red sauce, with fried bread and black pudding also considered essentials. But settling the age-old sauce argument, ketchup was the most popular condiment, with 42 per cent saying this is a key ingredient in a cooked breakfast, compared to just...

Good morning World. This is the media reporting. Until now, we haven't been "allowed" to report a potentially groundbreaking story, because ultimately the fourth estate is not free. But this is big. Here's what you need to know: A terminally ill teenager has won a historic legal fight to have her body cryogenically frozen in the hope of being brought back to life. The London teenager was allowed through a legal loophole to take sole control over decisions about the...

Often referred to a “the missing link”, Old Tom Gin is typically sweeter than London Dry and drier than Dutch Jenever. Although hugely popular during Victorian Britain, Old Tom had fallen out of favour until recently, yet it has resurged with the explosion of popularity surrounding gins in the UK (particularly London) at present. Yet, even so, there are still few Old Tom style gins readily available at the moment. A particularly impressive ‘Old Tom’ gin, however, is that from...

There has been some sobering news for the majority of people who are struggling to get on the housing ladder or simply want to live in decent accommodation. New figures show that only just over 32,000 “affordable homes” were built in the year leading up to March 2016, a worrying 24-year low. In the previous year 66,600 cheaper homes were constructed, double the following year. The figures were supplied by the DCLG (Department for Communities and Local Government) and the...

The UKIP wheels continue to fall off; this time the issue is using EU cash to push the Brexit referendum campaign. A leaked document, seen by Sky News has found that the party used EU funds on polling in the build up the EU referendum and the General Election. Using the funds for these campaigns breaks EU spending rules and means the party will have to pay back all or a portion of the total sum spent. The party splurged...

Joining the likes of Kurobuta, Yo! Sushi and Burger & Lobster, Zelman Meats is the latest addition to the fifth floor of Knightsbridge’s Harvey Nichols. Perched next door to Burger & Lobster, Zelman Meats is also owned by Russian restaurateur Misha Zelman, who also owns a chain of popular steakhouses - Goodman - and the alpha-male Beast in Marylebone. This particular branch, however, seems very much like an overspill space for those wishing to visit Burger & Lobster during peak...
