By Bea Patel, TLE Property Editor and Director of Shop for an Agent The youngest city in Europe, with 50 per cent of its population under the age of 30, Birmingham is a city full of drive, ambition and entrepreneurialism. This is already clear from the city's booming life science, creative and tech industries. Now, Birmingham is lining up to show Britain's cities how to future-proof against the coming economic uncertainty when the UK finally begins the formal process of...

Indie rockers Everything Everything played to a 1,000-strong crowd this weekend at the first ever UK Goose Island LDN Block Party at RED Market in East London. The Mercury Prize nominated band treated fans to an energetic set, playing tracks from their critically acclaimed album Get to Heaven, including 'Distant Past' and 'Regret'. They were supported by hotly tipped female-fronted rock ‘n’ roll four-piece Black Honey and alternative pop-duo Little White Things who completed the lineup to provide an awesome indie-electronica sound straight out of Shoreditch. The event, held over...

Whether it’s the manor in Charmed or Rachel and Monica’s apartment in Friends, television characters have a habit of living in impressive homes. And why shouldn’t they? Behind the scenes a lot of work goes in to making the sets as appealing as possible. Now a new study has charted the top twenty fictional homes where Brits would love to live. Whilst Carrie Bradshaw's apartment and Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) were featured, the winner was rather out of this world. The...

This weekend Jeremy Corbyn was re-elected Labour leader fending off rival Owen Smith by some 119,000 votes with a victory that delivered an even more commanding mandate than when he first took the nation by storm in 2015. But that has done little to appease the media, his co-politicians or the raft of doomsayer commentators. Corbyn is Mr Unelectable, and there’s nothing that grinds our gears more than an unelectable politician getting elected. But “who decided he is unelectable,” political...

The online world is a dangerous place, and it’s all too easy for the unwary to fall prey to external attacks and internal security breaches. Business software can become infected and end up needing malware removal. From merely being a nuisance, malware has become big business and nobody is immune from the threat. Read the advice from FileHippo on how to protect your business. What Is Malware? The term malware covers a number of things. It encompasses computer viruses that...

In the immediate wake of Brexit, British citizens had a minor meltdown. There were multiple reports of people who had voted to exit only to demonstrate their discontent, and calls for a second referendum once citizens understood how high stakes their decision really was. The FTSE 100 plummeted, the value of the pound fell to a 31-year low, and there were doomsayers on every corner. So it comes as nothing short of a surprise to see that, nearly three months...

By act of congress, September was declared National Bourbon Heritage Month for the United States in 2007. The exact origins are murky, though the history of America’s ‘Native Spirit’ can be traced back as far as the late 1700s with Jim Beam being amongst the earliest bourbon distilleries, still operating today with over 200 years of experience. An extensive process, bourbon is required by US law to be made with at least 51 per cent corn, and to be aged...

It’s Either a Third Runway or No Runway, But Theresa May is on course to do both. The easiest way to spot a failing campaign is to seek out the one that argues the shortcomings of its opponent rather than championing its own merits. After years of deliberation, costly enquiries and even costlier marketing ploys the decision on airport capacity in southeast England, or so I’m reliably informed, is nigh. Rumours are that Theresa May will go ahead with expansion...

Britain's exit from the European Union means an exit from the single market, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has today re-emphasised. The outspoken politician tweeted a video where he says Britain has voted to take control back of our "laws, our borders, our fisheries, and crucially, we voted to leave the single market". Many 'out' voters have been confident that Britain would be able to renegotiate inclusion in the single market if we voted to leave. However, like promises on the...
