Sport News 24/7 By Billy Stephens @BillyLaughs @TLE_Sport Professional victories for Leicester and Arsenal on Saturday put the pressure on Spurs and Manchester City to keep pace at the top in their respective fixtures on Sunday. However, the Lilywhites were the only team that could rise to the challenge, effectively winning their game against Bournemouth in the first half and cruising to a 3-0 win, taking their goal difference to an impressive +32. The Citizens, in contrast, slipped to a...
Sport News 24/7 By Jack Peat - Editor @TLE_Sport @jacknpeat In mid-August of last year, before a single ball had been kicked in the 2015/16 Premier League season, a worrying trend unfolded as the starting line-ups were announced for the opening weekend’s fixtures. Only 73 English players were among the 220 who started for the 20 clubs; a low of 33.2 per cent and a number that embarrasses the national game when compared to the major European leagues. The figure...
Project manager, administrator, account manager, sales executive, customer service advisor – spend any time on a recruitment site and you’re likely to stumble across most if not all of these job titles. They’re among the most common positions advertised in the UK and while they’re all perfectly worthy ways to earn money, they’re probably unlikely to spark any great passion. If you’re the sort of person who doesn’t want to settle for the norm and need a fresh and exciting...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor A Government commissioned report has found that woman are still discriminated against at work. The research found that nearly 400,000 women have unfairly suffered at work, due to their gender. 75 per cent of pregnant women and new mothers experience discrimination at work and one in nine lose their job as a result they found.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor UKIP leader Nigel Farage has come under fire and been called “disgusting” for “cheap political point scoring,” after he used the carnage in Brussels to back his Brexit campaign. The controversial figure has been branded as “disgusting” for using the deadly Brussels attacks as a reason to quit the European Union. He was called “shameless Brexit scum” after he retweeted a message on Twitter whilst explosions were killing scores of people in the Belgian capital. Allison...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food In recent years, mostly thanks to a seemingly endless stream of single-menu restaurant openings – lobster has become extremely popular in London, and relatively accessible. Once reserved almost exclusively for flaunting wealth and ordering the most expensive single dish on a restaurant’s menu just in order to appear sophisticated and knowledgeable. Now it’s 2016 and there are countless establishments that offer whole, equitably sized lobsters for less than £20. The newfound availability is brilliant,...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Yesterday Osborne sent his deputy David Gauke to take the hits from the House of his Budget statement. Cowardly George didn’t fancy facing any dissent. Gauke failed to give an answer to how the black hole left by the scrapping of disability benefit cuts would be filled, under sustained attack from opposition MPs. There is now a £4.4bn black hole to fill. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell was on fine form as he laid into the...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Dennis Skinner demolished the Chancellor in the Commons with one of his classic one-liners. The 84-year-old MP let nobody down with his latest attack on the Tories. He ended with the classic line: "It’s 8 budgets for Osborne already, only cats have 9 lives." Even the PM chortled. Thanks to Cameron, Skinner is still going strong in parliament. When asked why he hasn’t thrown in the towel, Skinner said: "Mainly because Cameron told me to retire." Watch...
