By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor One of the stranger claims made during the EU referendum debate came from the PM when he said that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State, is probably in favour of Britain leaving the EU. Cameron made these claims after Boris Johnson accused the PM of colluding with big business to ensure the UK remains in the European Union. The PM discussed the IS leaders hopes of a “Brexit,” as he said that allies...

If you’ve got a website, you’re at risk of being hacked – it’s as simple as that.  Many people don't even consider how to keep a website safe from hackers when creating it from the start. Individuals with top tech knowledge have a habit of infiltrating innocent sites and carrying out all kinds of malicious activities from infecting visitors with malware to directing them to dodgy/unlawful sites.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor How did you guys get together as Northeast Party House? And where did the name originate from? Three of us attended the same high school and played together in various jazz ensembles, orchestras and choirs. It wasn’t until we left school and started going out to clubs and festivals that we had the epiphany that we could start a band playing the music we actually enjoyed. The name Northeast Party House is a reference to...

Well, that was a hoot, wasn’t it? SATs are all over bar the awkward meetings where they make up a suitably puzzling grade boundary, and teachers across the land are now able to focus on the more important things in life…or, at least, which set of assessments or report-writing is up next. We laid on snacks for the kids before the tests started, as we know many don’t have a proper breakfast – note to certain parents, sending them off...

Brits are clueless when it comes to personal finances, new research reveals. A study of 2,000 adults 58 per cent aren’t sure about their hourly rate of pay and 70 per cent can’t say exactly how much they pay in income tax. While most people think they have a grip on their personal finances, in reality most can only guess roughly what they earn, what they pay in bills and what they what owe on credit cards. Two thirds of people can’t...

David Cameron has signed up with Tinder and LadBible to encourage younger people to vote in the EU referendum. Thousands of people are yet to sign up to vote in the referendum in June, which could hit the 'In' campaign most severely. More than 28 million households have been sent a leaflet on how to register before the deadline of June 78th, but the PM has gone one step further to engage younger voters.
