He boasted of blowing apart the “traditional class system in British politics” in the wake of elections which saw Reform UK win more than 1,400 council seats, beat Labour in Wales and draw level with Sir Keir’s party in Scotland. The crisis-hit Prime Minister is defying calls to quit and will on Monday make the case for closer links with the European Union in a major speech. In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express, Mr Farage warned of electoral disaster for Sir Keir if he takes the UK closer to Europe. Pointing to Brexit-supporting areas where voters abandoned Labour to support Reform in Thursday’s election, he said: “If Starmer does that, then he is giving us the …

Here are 11 unfortunately common humiliation rituals that happen at almost every job 1.

All of these events still have the capacity to burn my cheeks scarlet as I attempt to sleep at night. However, one thing that has never troubled me, though, is the fact that I’m 29 years old and still rent a property with two of my friends in London. This, apparently, makes me the minority as, according to new research from Nationwide, 29 is the exact age renters begin to feel …

Published by Jenni Sidey

Today’s society is many ways built on a platform of constant stimulation and comfort. Because things were so different in the past, people born in the 60s and 70s are proud of several things that those in younger generations are embarrassed by today.

It’s hard to believe the London Borough of Brent was once covered in even more rubbish than it is now. Although the gleaming arch of Wembley Stadium is sometimes just a few steps away, its residential streets are a patchwork of filth. Whether it’s a sea of bottles right by the very sign for the recycling centre, a hollowed-out sofa sagging against a brick wall or a TV just feet from (but not in) the communal dustbin, Brent is covered in, well, crap. “It’s like a dump,” says Robert Hall, who has lived there all the 60-odd years of his life. His neighbourhood has become an obstacle course of dumped cars, rubbish, and mattresses. It might sound like he’s exaggerating, but on my 20-minute walk over from Wembley Park Tube, I see a fridge, TV, pet cage and countless bags of rubbish. “It’s an eyesore.
