Extremism is increasing significantly in the UK - from the right-wing groups who claim to be fighting it. Suspected Right-wing extremists now make up a quarter of people referred to the Government’s flagship counter-radicalisation programme, the terror watchdog has revealed. David Anderson, QC, said the large numbers being identified as far-Right sympathisers illustrated the scale of the sector’s growing danger to Britain, saying the extremists are increasingly feeding off the tension caused by Islamist terror to plan violence of their own....

Billionaire Sir James Dyson who campaigned for Brexit on the grounds that it would "make us richer" has just announced he is creating hundreds of jobs - in Asia. The entrepreneur condemned Remain campaign claims before the referendum that British exports would fall in the aftermath of a vote to quit the union as “absolute cobblers”, saying Britain would actually be £18.5 billion better off every year if voters back Brexit. But following Dyson's decision to move 500 jobs to Malaysia in 2002,...

The average Brit would be worth £1.2 million more over a lifetime if they didn't have bills to pay, a new study has revealed. On average families shell out an eye-watering £19,187.37 every year on mortgages or rent, insurance, gas and electric. That means over the course of the average adult lifetime of 60.3 years, they will pay out a staggering £1,156,938.41 in direct debits or written cheques. The biggest chunk of that goes on bills - amounting to around £520.22...

The new five-pound notes seemed to be welcomed by most people, they could last an accidental wash, were harder to rip and even cocaine users approved of them, to indulge in their illegal snorting activity. However, this all came crashing down when it was discovered that the notes actually contained animal fats, which are used in the production process. Apologies, but we don’t know why animal fats were actually needed, but it was decided that they were necessary to produce...

The European Union has agreed a trade deal with Canada that could be worth €72 billion. Negotiated for nearly five years and four months, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada was overwhelmingly voted in by the European Parliament. In 2015 EU-Canada trade accounted for more than €60 billion and Ceta is expected to boost this by 20 per cent. But the trade deal could have dire consequences for the UK, which looks likely to be pushed to the...

A third of Brits have had a relationship with a colleague at some point in their career – equating to some 8.85 million "cubicle courtships". With UK employees clocking in more hours at the office than ever before, the workplace has become a common environment for love to blossom, with 17 per cent of workplace couplings resulting in marriages or civil partnerships. However, cubicle courtships ended in tears for one in seven workers who have had to leave their jobs largely...

Staff at two TopShop sites are set to stage a walk-out after shamed BHS boss and head of Arcadia group Sir Philip Green denied them a living wage. Spectrum for Arcadia staff in Leeds and Solihull will walk out on strike for two days on Friday February 24 and Sunday February 26. The industrial action will throw Arcadia’s deliveries from Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Burton Menswear into chaos. The knight of the realm recently faced calls from MPs to seize his...

Britain will take a step back towards the dark ages in regards to governance in post-Brexit Britain. The European Parliament yesterday voted in favour of a report calling for the protection of whistleblowers across the EU. At the same time, the Conservative government is desperately attempting to defending its proposals to launch a 'full frontal attack' on whistleblowers in the UK, setting a worrying precedent for accountability when we leave the European Union. Commenting after today's vote, Jean Lambert, Green...

The UK would opt to stay in the EU if the vote was carried out today, according a poll conducted by the The Mirror. The study discovered that 51 per cent would decide that EU membership was the right choice. In the actual vote 52 per cent of voters wanted to leave the European project. It appears that a significant minority have suffered with “Bregret” and would have swung the result towards Remain, if they had voted differently in the...
