By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Two of the main pledges to win over the electorate, by the Leave campaign, have been rowed back on. During the EU campaign reducing immigration and funding the NHS were key messages that chimed with a huge amount of voters, especially first time voters. However, only a day after the Leave victory it has been admitted that immigration levels may well remain the same and the NHS will probably not receive the £350 a week...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food  Opened last year, The Richmond is a neighbourhood restaurant in East London, perched upon the intersection of Dalston, Haggerston and London Fields. Set up by Australian chef and restaurateur Brett Redman and fashion consultant Margaret Crow, the restaurant’s menu is heavily built around oysters, comfort food, and produce from the sea – with East London’s first raw bar. As for the drinks, a strong list of natural wines is joined by a selection of...

By Dani Porter As many others are likely feeling right now, I am stunned. I barely have the words, or perhaps too many words, to know where to start on this very bleak, dispiriting day. There is much I could say on how I feel this is a terrible decision for the UK electorate to have (marginally majority) voted for, and on the very real and understandable fear over what it might mean for our futures – our financial security, our...

Featuring Harold Stone and Dan Mulloy As the Donald Trump roller-coaster campaign graces a post-referendum UK with its presence, we should take the opportunity to reflect on where politics is heading here in Britain. This referendum has shown nationalism in its ugliest forms and reminds us that the contemptible campaign of fear by the Donald is not nearly as far from home as some of us are comfortable with. This video outlines the Trumps who reside our side of the Atlantic...

Is the decision to leave the EU a protest vote gone wrong? It certainly looks that way after a study revealed only 30 per cent of Leave supporters thought the UK would actually vote leave. Yesterday's results have left plenty of people in shock, with the markets in turmoil after the polls delivered an unexpected decision. Just this morning £100 billion has been wiped off the FTSE, the Prime Minister has resigned and the pound has suffered the largest currency...

Britain has voted to leave the European Union and the question on everyone’s mind has shifted from “what if” to “what now”. Immediately, nothing much will change. Prominent Brexiteer Boris Johnson has already called for calm and most political commentators agree that it could be some time before we see the effects of this vote materialise. But aside from the legislative details, there is something far more sinister afoot. The UK's decision to leave the EU means next to sod-all...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The fall-out from the Brexit result continues. The PM has resigned and now two senior Labour MPs have tabled a motion of no confidence in the left-wing Labour leader, who has been criticised for not backing the Remain campaign enough. It has been said he was not visible enough during the campaign and didn’t do enough to get Labour voters to get out and vote to Remain part of the EU, especially those from working...

A man who took a decision for everybody else, then realised it was probably the worst idea ever, jumped ship and left the passengers heading for certain doom. Even he didn’t originally expect to be given control of the ship, so steered wildly tossing passengers overboard without life rafts. Rightly so, many of the crew grew concerned at some of his navigation and that began to spook some of the passengers, even those in the lower decks. He promised to...
