No matter how much time and effort you put in to your home, at times it can feel as though it will never be exactly as you want it. According to new research, less than one in ten homeowners currently consider their home to be perfect with 55 per cent saying they have a long to-do list of improvements and changes they would like to get done. Installing a new kitchen and bathroom, laying new carpets or flooring and building...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor A report has found that 3,500 vulnerable people are languishing in state ran institutions, almost a thousand more than was previously thought. The Government had vowed to ensure these people received adequate care in the community, but this hasn’t been the case. This shocking news comes despite promising to move them into decent community care, in wake of the Winterbourne view scandal in 2011. The report claims that 10,000 extra members of staff are needed...

By Grant Bailey (@GrantDBailey) The sound of Seattle is inextricably linked with grunge music. For a phlegm-specked half-decade the mainstream fell in love with the weird, noisy bands coming out of the city and since then Seattle and grunge music have been synonymous. And so it must always be, when a new grunge band emerges from the overcast city, that comparisons are made to that first, definitive wave. So Pitted’s Neo fairs well. To get the rote relations out of...

It seems after his victory in South Carolina this weekend Trump was looking to announce some big new make or break policies heading into Nevada on Tuesday. After scrambling his aides to his chamber in the early hours of Monday morning for a late night "spitballin" session he's cracked it. The was a (non-Catholic) hallelujah moment at 1.08am. One of trump's, many, toupee bearers announced that everyday around ten Americans drown in a bath or hot tub, with 2003 alone seeing...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Throughout the past five years or so, high-rise dining has become increasingly popular within the city. And it’s certainly unsurprising given the erection of so many monolithic new landmarks now piercing the sky, and towering over the iconic structures of yesteryear enticing with their Metropolis 21st century constructions, lifts (not elevators) that seem as though installed by NASA, and most of all: the sweeping panoramic views across our fair city. With many of these such...

By Alex Lodge (@alexlodgemusic | Insta @alexlodgemusic7) Alex Lodge is a music supervisor for film, TV and advertising at Studio 32 Music. It's raining and miserable outside so it's time to tune out of that and tune into the Weekly Report. Today we've got a real mix of stuff as usual, starting off with the man Bobby Womack and going straight into the track that The Verve based Bittersweet Symphony on (and the reason they never made any money on...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor More shocking news on the state of the health service as MPs have warned that the NHS is now in “financial freefall,” after the overspend in nine months was £622 million over what was predicted. The nation’s hospitals are facing huge pressures from soaring demand for care, sky-high costs and patients bed blocking. Numerous trusts are not hitting various national waiting times standards, almost 100,000 people are waiting for more than fours hours to be...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Way back in August, in this very publication, I rather rashly predicted that Leicester City were certainties for relegation and that Spurs would finish outside the top four, in either 5th or 6th place.  Well, as these two clubs currently occupy the top two spots in the Premier League table, this particular ‘expert’ is wiping plenty of egg off his face.  But how have Tottenham been transformed from...
