By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Last week we were enthralled by the questionable question answering from the two party leaders on the NHS, so I assumed it couldn’t get worse this time…well it did. Miliband decided to repeatedly (he used all six questions on the matter) ask the PM if he was in or out of Europe, to which the PM replied “in, but with a better renegotiation”. Every time Ed asked Cameron the same thing, he came back with...

By Paul Jurowski - Food writer I can’t admit to having been to Portobello Road on a gastronomic adventure for quite some time, if at all, but let me begin by saying the trip out to Goode and Wright was certainly worth the mission from work, to arrive in time for our reservation. Tucked away in between a Reggae bar and a railway bridge lies a cosy wood-panelled bistro, staffed by friendly, knowledgeable people, who were happy to discuss the...

Sport News 24/7 By Andy Ollerhead  As a supporter of Liverpool FC the last few weeks have often brought to mind the old quote attributed to a certain Albert Einstein- the one that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. Last season a tricky, inventive Brendan Rodgers tactically bamboozled opposing managers with formations that morphed and evolved multiple times during games. This season, shorn of the strikeforce that gave...

Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as, Parklife. And mockery can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as.... Politics. Unfortunately, Russell Brand and his articulate, poignant, silver tongued, sententious political campaign has delved into the murky world of politics to inspire a revolution. But not only has his spiritually-guided work failed to inspire the public, it has utterly befuddled them. It's akin to that episode of Friends (that's the...

This week’s midterm elections in the United States could be decisive for the controversial TTIP, but is Obama running out of time to complete the deal with the European Union? Elsa Buchanan discusses  As voters in the United States flock to the polling stations to define control over the Senate in the mid-term elections, anti-Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) campaigners are holding their breath. A Republican majority win could, counter-intuitively, be a good omen for President Barack Obama’s trade agenda,...

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle Rita Ora gets embarrassed over a tweet  Rita Ora attempted to harness the power of social media to validate her position in the pop world by tweeting something to the tune of ‘if this tweet gets 100,000 retweets I’ll drop my new single on Monday’. At the time of writing it is Monday and no single has been dropped. This is because her tweet didn’t get 100,000 retweets. It’s difficult for me to tell...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic  The platform at Keighley railway station is awash with people. Aromas of sausages, onions and engine steam flavour the crisp autumnal breeze that is atypically mild for this time of year. A new entertainment tent has been erected and an additional bar opened to cater for excessive demand for the town’s beer festival. Here in Yorkshire, like most places across Britain, a beer revolution is under way. I’ve managed to return home...

Ineffective facilities management could be costing UK businesses nearly £1 billion, new research has revealed. A study conducted by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) around 26 per cent of organisations in the UK are still not taking a strategic approach when it comes to facilities management - a business discipline that involves the co-ordination of space, people, resources and property within an organisation. It suggests that those organisations using FM in a strategic capacity could be saving themselves...
