By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Watch Boris Johnson confirm he is backing the "Brexit." He says "the last thing I wanted to do was go against David Cameron," with a cheeky half-grin Video (Below)  

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In huge blow to David Cameron, London Mayor Boris Johnson has decided to back the “Brexit” in the upcoming EU referendum. After a mammoth round of negotiations in Brussels, Cameron hoped his biggest hitters would support the deal he arrived home with. However, in the case of Boris, arguably the biggest personality in the party, this won’t be the case. It is a huge boost to the Leave campaign; Boris had admitted he has sat...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor People on less than £15k a year will be clobbered by the Tory government as increases under Labour are cancelled. Private sector workers, who are low-paid, will be the worst affected as twenty million people are hurt by Tory pension changes. George Osborne said his new flat rate £155.65-a-week pension is “simpler and fairer, and there is no doubt it is vastly larger than the current £115.95 rate. However, there will no longer be additional...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor You're bringing your show Cry Me A Liver to London, can you tell us a bit about the show and how it came about?I started doing different characters first and put them together, sometimes adding last minute characters that I had met and that had inspired me. It developed over time. As a New York based performer, What made you want to bring it to London? For me, London is very similar to New York. People...

By Ben Ramanauskas Martin Shkreli has managed to engender feelings of revulsion in the vast majority of the population. He incurred widespread odium when his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, acquired the drug Daraprim, which is commonly used to treat toxoplasmosis, which kills people with weakened immune systems, such as people suffering from AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy. The parasite which causes toxoplasmosis lives inside of one third of the population, in tiny cysts that go undetected because they are quarantined in our...

By Darragh Roche Confession time: I follow George Galloway on Twitter. Like the dozens of political accounts in my newsfeed, Galloway's can usually pass unnoticed in the blur. Recently, however, I was drawn to his page following some posts about the Grassroots Out campaign – a pro-Brexit group that's seen Galloway buddying up with UKIP's Nigel Farage. Scrolling through the former Big Brother contestant's tweets, the surreal beauty of it all revealed itself to me. It was like the moment...

By Dean Hochlaf Since the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn, Europe has pursued a course of vigorous austerity, in a desperate attempt to reign in government spending which spiralled after a series of high profile bank bail-outs. In Britain austerity is practically synonymous with Chancellor George Osborne. In Europe, it is Wolfgang Schäuble, the indomitable German Finance Minister who best encapsulates the continents commitment to austerity policies. The fascination with austerity borders on the dogmatic. The Greek economy...

by Shilpa Ganatra, travel editor Oh I do like to be beside the seaside. And you do too - don’t pretend you don’t. For all that city living offers us, there’s no replicating the sea air, or spectacular coastal views. With that in mind, I packed up our weekend bag and hopped in the car for a weekend in Bournemouth, a place I last went on a family trip in my pre-teens. Luckily, it’s changed since then.

David Cameron has hailed a breakthrough in his on-going negotiations in Brussels, as he persuaded Gideon Osborne to drop him off some party powders, to get him through the next 24 hours talks. Cameron said: "I told him I'd pay his travel and he can charge me £80 for the £50 stuff, that won him over."
