By Professor Colin Garner, Chief Executive of Antibiotic Research UK, comments: Today, patients undergoing routine treatments such as cancer treatment, organ transplantation and hip and knee replacements, are given antibiotics to prevent infection during these treatments. However, the frequency of antibiotic resistant infections is increasing, meaning that there are more and more deaths from antibiotic resistant bacteria. Sepsis is a common cause of death in the UK with over 37,000 deaths each year, more than lung cancer (35,000) and bowel cancer...

The government has been blamed for the rise of highly questionable pension  schemes which have led to a £2 billion 'liberation scandal'. A nationwide campaign group  says the government is “ultimately responsible” for the potential loss of billions of pounds of savers’ pensions by refusing to “fix a broken system” that is pushing victims to the brink of suicide.  Since April the over-55s have had the freedom to cash in their retirement pots.  Whilst 25 per cent will be free...

By Leslie Byron Pitt @Afrofilmviewer It’s often said that you don’t watch porn for its plot. The same can certainly be said for Gaspar Noe’s indulgent Love. For all it’s on screen ejaculation and 3D Penises thrusting out at the audience, Noe cannot hide that this is a tediously overlong piece with an under baked plot. While Love is certainly a more sensitive and personal film in comparison to previous features (I Stand Alone (1998), Irréversible (2002), Enter the Void...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Flat Iron, Burger & Lobster, Patty & Bun, Suvlaki, Chick ‘n’ Sours, Bao, Top Dog, and MEATliquor. These are just a few of the less than imaginatively titled restaurants to have opened in London over the past few years, leaving little to the imagination when guessing what each respective menu may offer. Limited menus that are practically plastered in full above the doors of these restaurants have become such a big trend on the...

Robert Dyas has taken the award for most cringeworthy marketing campaign of the festive season after releasing its ‘We’re gay. And straight. And bi…’ advertisement. The ad features staff members of varying sexual orientation promoting products under the strapline “Robert Dyas: where gays and straights can buy drills, and much, much more.” It is thought the ad is a spoof of a Red Hill advert which used the strapline "where black people and white people buy furniture" in an advert in 2009. Take a...

George Clooney has pledged the first £5 to a campaign run by Scottish not-for-profit sandwich shop Social Bite to feed thousands of homeless people on Christmas Day and throughout 2016. The Hollywood actor recorded a video message on a staff member’s iPhone pledging the first £5 and encouraging others to do the same. The video has been released alongside a host of support from Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy, Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, comedian Rob Brydon, broadcaster Chris...

Thought the Maldives was all sun, sea and sand? Well it is - but there's also plenty more to it. A unique phenomenon, there's aspects of the Indian Ocean that many guide books, travel tales and Pinterest boards often miss out, from its official no-booze status to the icky truth about the soft, white sand. Having visited its beautiful shores, we've compiled just a few of its elements which might not be so obvious at first sight - so consider...

Donald Trump likes Katie Hopkins. This is not a world-changing surprise. Trump discovering Hopkins is like two idiots in Nickelback t-shirts meeting each other at a music festival and instantly getting along. You could say they like each other because they agree on almost everything (Trump will probably denounce fat people at his next rally) but the connection is much simpler than that: Donald and Katie are bullies. Trump and Hopkins are overgrown playground bullies who spend their time mocking...
