A little bit of Miami in 1982 has arrived in Brixton, and will be with us until the end of August. The rooftop summer pop-up is the place to be the feel part of the Florida scene, in SW2. The venue has funky cocktails, retro film screenings, food stalls and live sports. There is even real sand, you lucky people. If you have a white tuxedo, bring it, if it rains, wear it anyway. The summer is still here and...
The first thing to say about the trip was that there was a huge mistake, caused by yours truly. I am born and raised just up the road from Seaham Hall, in Newcastle, and I always get the rapid three-hour train journey home. For some reason me and Mrs TLE and I drove…seven hours later we arrived, missing out valuable hours at this luxurious venue. Seaham Hall is a spa hotel nestled beside the wild North Eastern coastline. The impressive...

The National Union of Students has criticised the government's decision to replace grants paid to students from low-income families with loans. Starting today students from families with annual incomes of £25,000 or less will not be able to apply for the £3,387-a-year grant to cover living costs.
