Global warming is spiralling out of control at the same time as our politicians try to figure out the best way to “maximise the economic recovery of oil and gas”. These aren’t just regular politicians doing this, these are politicians on the Energy and Climate Change Committee. Yesterday in parliament, fossil fuel representatives explained that the discovery of new oil reserves was at a sixty-year low. “The revenues have gone out of the industry,” cried one chief executive. Some companies are...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The IMF have made a stark warning ahead of the EU referendum, echoing the Bank of England’s recent claims. Christine Lagarde believes that Britain could enter a sharp recession if the majority backs a Brexit. This would cause a steep drop in property prices and a stock market crash. Lagarde, IMF managing director, also agreed with the Bank of England’s governor, Mark Carney, who claims that Britain would enter a technical recession in a Brexit...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Am I really the only person who thinks it’s possible to make it through the summer without drinking upon somebody else’s roof? Last weekend was the hottest of the year, so it’s not too surprising to find that just about every media outlet in the world has chosen to roundup a list of the best rooftop drinking spaces to visit across the next couple of months. The problem, however, is less with the concept...

You know where you want to go on holiday, but you don’t know what to do when you get there? That is a familiar feeling for most of us seeking to get the most out of our limited time away. Buying a rough guide may help, but surely a smooth guide on the ground who has known the area all their life is what you really need. There is nothing worse than visiting a place and finding out when you...

By Paul Baines Just when we’re faced by the most momentous decision on the EU for 40 years, the media plays it straight. What’s happened to all the Euro bashing? The usual fear and loathing of all things European Commission? The ban on misshapen vegetables, the Euro-sausage, the forced decimalisation? It’s just one of the problems facing the “Leave” campaign in its bid to overcome anxieties over change to the status quo. In the Scottish Referendum, despite all their energy and...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor In news that will shock the nation, it has emerged that there is not enough evidence to bring a criminal case against RBS bosses that lead the virtual collapse of the bank in 2008, and contributing to the worst recession since the great depression. Fred Goodwin, the chief of the bank at the time of the crisis, will also not see any possible conviction for his actions. After a five-year inquiry by Crown Office prosecutors...

When BT Sport signed a €1 billion TV rights deal for Uefa Champions League it was immediately clear who would be in line to cash in, and it wasn't the consumer. Broadcasting contracts for 2016 to 2019 will net Premier League clubs £8.3 billion combined, with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish suggesting a single match could rake in television revenue of up to £500 million in the coming seasons. But while the already cash-rich clubs and their overpaid players rake in more...

Bad Neighbours 2 follows a trend of sequels that weren’t asked for nor needed but thankfully, that is where the similarities with poor 2016 comedy sequels end. The Nicholas Stoller helmed blockbuster is full of laughs and most surprisingly of all, attempts to tackle societal issues. With life having moved on since the events of the first film, Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) are preparing to sell their house and move to pastures new after they learn...
