Cricket World Cup – England must drop Morgan
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport England kick-off their World Cup campaign against familiar foe Australia on Saturday morning but if they are to have any chance of success in the competition they must dispense with Eoin Morgan.

His recent form has been nothing short of...

Valentine’s Day, etc. etc.
By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle Have you planned something wonderful with your other half for Valentine’s Day? Are you going to a hotel restaurant for a six course tasting menu and champagne, and is he going to get down on one knee as a keyboard player taps out a John Legend song? What a treat. Valentine’s Day is a source of so much wriggling, in my friendship group at least. One of my best friends is going to the...
This is their time – Christchurch brought to life in the name of Cricket
Sport News 24/7 By Noy Shani @NoyShani @TLE_Sport The 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup is almost upon us. The London Economic and Noy Shani focus on one particular host city for whom the upcoming tournament will be extra special.

Parliamentary sketch 11th Feb – HMRC it’s easier on HSBC
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Mexican drug cartels, terrorist organisations and now dodgy party donors. It’s a wonder HSBC had time to sell PPI insurance to us mere mortals, but they did…bless them. Hours before today’s PMQs there were revelations about political benefactors (mainly Tories), peers and a high profile MP who held accounts in Switzerland with HSBC. It appears the world’s local bank – for the super-rich – is an office in Zurich. This was Ed’s chance to finally...
Ignore the colour – it’s good Labour are Talking with Women
By June Eric Udorie This week, the Labour Party graced us with their newest campaign to attract female voters – a hot pink minibus with the words “Woman to Woman” written across it. Harriet Harman, the deputy leader of the Labour Party who is fronting the campaign said, “We don’t want women to give up on politics.

Slipping into the ‘Comfort Zone’
The Honeymoon Period is defined as the period in a relationship when romance outweighs comfort, when love is still fresh and when the sparks, fireworks and butterflies in your stomach still exist. But as we have probably all experienced at some point in our lives, romance can be tiresome, and it often isn't long before we exchange saucy underwear for comfy pants and risqué night garments for comfortable pj's. But how long does it take before we feel fully comfortable in front...

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport Yaya Touré may have won the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea on Sunday night but his club, Manchester City, will be cursing their luck that their star player made it that far. It means that in the five matches Touré has missed (he will in all likelihood miss tomorrow’s match at Stoke City too), City have gained three points from a possible 12 in the league...
