Parliamentary Sketch 9th September – Come friendly bombs, and fall on Syria

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...

Rugby World Cup: To Burgess or not to Burgess?

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.  The chance to see the best rugby players in the world battle it out for supremacy in one’s own backyard is not to be missed (as fate would have it I failed in all six of the ballots I entered for match tickets).  Nevertheless, I shall be an enthusiastic armchair fan, revelling...

Review: Farao – Till It’s All Forgotten

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. Helmed by Grammy Award Winner Andrew Scheps, known for his work with artists like Lana Del Ray and Hozier, Farao walks an airier and more other-worldly line, an essence that is laced throughout its tracks. There are moments in Till It’s All Forgotten that aim to disarm. Kari Jahnsen’s emotional vocals provide a counterpoint to the harsher...

Review: FKA twigs – M3LL155X

By Grant Bailey (@GrantDBailey) The lens through which FKA twigs gazes on the world is a twisted one. A collision of experimental noise and sugary melody, high fashion, body horror, contortion and mutated R&B; this is M3LL155X. The latest EP/video project from FKA twigs, M3LL155X arrives with the assured cool of an auteur secure in their vision. In many ways the EP is business as usual for twigs; electronic R&B distorted through a prism of progressive pop as lyrics drape over...

Gallery: Feed The Rhino

A gig photographer needs to be made of sturdy stuff. A dedicated tog must have the will to heft their gear on a nightly basis to the best (read: rowdiest) shows in town, risking lens and limb for the killer shot. All of the above – not a problem for Canterbury’s Rich Broome, a seasoned gig photographer who’s more than prepared for the rough-and-tumble of a hardcore club show. Having just completed a successful stint at this year’s Hevy Fest,...

Are Robot Servers The Food Industry’s Next Big Thing?

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Way back in 1989, Robert Zemeckis’ classic cult Sci-Fi blockbuster – 'Back To The Future 2' – predicted that 2015 would behold all sorts of outrageous, futuristic contraptions most probably designed by an outrageous (evidently very prolific) scientist with dreams that even the most brainy of scholars would struggle to conceive.
