By Andy Thompson, Director of Operational Policy and Research Wealth Management Association On 10 June 2015 the Government raised another £750 million from the sale of half of its remaining 30 per cent stake in Royal Mail. But why were private investors not given the opportunity to participate as they had been in the Initial Public Offering in 2013? Ultimately it is for the Government and its advisers to answer that question but in the absence of anything definitive perhaps...

By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor Since I've had my own children, Father's Day has taken on a completely different focus. It's a day for my children to tell their dad how much they love and appreciate him, to give him homemade cards with a wobbly attempt at signing their own name and - if he's lucky - he might even get a lie-in until 8am followed by breakfast in bed. With a jolt I realise that I've forgotten about my...

By Adam Clark @AdamClarkers Jurassic World flips from nought to preposterous far too quickly and in doing so leaves behind any of the thoughtfulness of the original Jurassic Park. There might be an argument for allowing the film to stand on its own two feet except for the fact that the film itself is so desperate to crowbar in as many callbacks as possible. Rather than reboot the series, it’s set up as a sequel in the near future. Jurassic...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor Sat in a pub last Friday evening I pitched to my friend the topic of light-bodied wines. He listed the three that immediately sprung to mind: Burgundy Pinot Noir, Californian Zinfandel and South African Pinotage. A credible list, but for me the Mecca of fruity, easy-drinking red wine is Beaujolais. The ballyhooed cherry-red vintages that emanate from the small patch of France offer rich and varied wines that are delicate yet full of character. But...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food We’ve already shared a selection of Father’s Day recipe to wow your Dad, this weekend, and thanks to Erik Lorincz, you can wash the recipes down with his ‘Father’s Honour’.

By Will Bateman (@WillBateman6611) Donald Cumming's career began at the peak of the post-Strokes/Libertines/Killers indie-pandemic with New York hipsters The Virgins and their self-titled debut. They subsequently strayed into more 80's-pop territory with their second outing Strike Gently, after unsurprisingly signing to indie king Julian Casablancas' Cult Records and surprisingly splitting soon there-after. Climbing clear of the wreckage two years later Cumming has re-emerged with Out Calls Only. Here, he takes the notably personal subject matter of the ending of his marriage...

Brad Oberhofer is back! The New York based musician will release his new album 'Chronovision' on August 21st through Glassnote Records. - This is the second album for the 24 year old, who released his debut Time Capsules II in 2012. A lot has happened since; he's played Letterman and Lollapalooza, toured with Sleigh Bells, Neon Indian and Matt & Kim, offered daily mediations on his Bandcamp page and created thousands of piano pieces for fans and friends. He's also just announced a couple of London shows for next month,...

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle Everyone's Going To Die: an unusual name for an aptly unusual film. The debut film of intriguing British Director Collective Jones EGTD is an offbeat "romantic comedy", the words rom-com being said in VERY large inverted commas. This is genre-bending stuff, no simple heart-warming, or syrupy endings here. The rom-com element is reminiscent of Lost in Translation in that the romance is all about what does not, or has not yet happened. The moments before, the...

#5 - What Am I Going On About?! As regular readers of this column will know, this week I’ve been all-consumed by E3 – the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Sadly for me, I’ve not been sent to Los Angeles, where all the action is. Instead, I’ve been in an incredibly well-heated TV studio in Shepherd’s Bush (read: “pit-stains”) where I’ve been anchoring the live coverage for video-gaming telly-box channel Ginx TV. On Monday, our show ran for 9 whole hours, thankfully...
