Be quirky By making your restrooms unpredictable and interesting, it will inspire people to think differently.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The politician everyone is talking about wasn’t mentioned today, even though the likelihood is he will be leading the party next week. It appears the Panorama documentary, which was warmly received by the Tories and most of the Labour benches, won’t stop the Corbyn juggernaut. Yvette Cooper, Lab, looked like a rabbit caught in his headlights on the front bench today. It was Harriet Harman’s final session as acting Labour leader and the Libyan crisis...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport The Rugby World Cup starts next weekend and I am very much looking forward to it.

By Eleanor Stammeijer (@ElStammjamm) Indie folk meets electronic, the ‘celestial pop’ or Farao’s Till It’s All Forgotten is a vocally hypnotic, texturally rich release.
