By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor A 110-year-old picture of a gentleman wearing ladies' underwear is breaking the internet - because his face looks incredibly familiar. Could the possible future PM and Brexit buccaneer be the person in the pic? Well of course not, but it is quite a funny pic for a Friday afternoon.

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food When we think of the Scottish Hebridean Island of Islay, whiskey is generally the first spirit that comes to mind. An industry which, after agriculture, provides the island’s second largest employment, boasting a grand total of nine distilleries operating from the tiny island. And although renowned for creating some of the world’s finest single malt whiskies, Bruichladdich Distillery have, in recent years, began to distil their own gin – The Botanist – joining their...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Gypsy Wood and yourself appeared together in Comic Strip in 2011. What was the impetus behind this new joint show? Is this the first joint project you've worked on since then? Do the names you’ve chosen for your characters have any special significance or were they chosen at random? We decided to try and make a new show together for the 2015 Perth Fringe, we didn’t know what form it would take but we were...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor One of the Britain’s most famous markets has become the 2,500th ‘real” living wage employer, a whole two pounds twenty pence more than the Chancellor’s version of the living wage. The 11th century market, has decided to increase how much they pay their staff to a level which means workers should be able to sustain themselves to a reasonable level in the capital. The market, which is 1,002-years-old, decision has been hailed by Living Wage...

Review by Leslie Byron Pitt The second section of Miguel Gomes’ Portuguese austerity odyssey doesn’t lighten the load in anyway, though at time it feels more engaging than the previous entry. This section features more nude women that play along with its fantasy elements. Unfortunately, two of the tales featured are more tedious than what’s come before it. Again the ideas are sound.

MPs broke convention when they applauded his speech, when he spoke with power and passion from deep inside and out of respect for every victim and their families. Burnham demanded prosecutions and changes in the law after Britain's longest ever inquest found 96 Liverpool...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Strength: 7% Brewed: Kounoso, Japan First established in 1823, it wasn’t until 1996 that the Kiuchi Brewery started to produce Hitachino Nest beer, formerly better known for its sake production. Located in the small Japanese village of Kounosu, the beer’s name is inspired by the Kounosu’s literal meaning – “nest” – and has become hugely acclaimed over the past 20 years for both its beer and the quirky owl logo that adorns every bottle. Taken from their core...
