Education Secretary Justine Greening was given a very hard time by Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast, usually one for the more easy going interview, he decided to go at Greening and wouldn't let it lie. She didn't look like she was prepared for his attack. Presenter Mr Stayt told her: "You've used the phrase 'ordinary working families' in pretty much every answer. "The fact is, most people watching this programme who are from ordinary working families... we can assume that's...

Brexit has gone that mad that two opposing activists, boxing in a ring, almost seems the sane option. How many people would like to step into the ring with Nigel Farage for example? Well this did actually happen, reports the Hackney Citizen, on April’s fools day, but only the UKIP MEP looked foolish in Bethnal Green’s York Hall. Lib Dem activist Toby White went up against UKIP MEP Jonathon Arnott in a bout of “chessboxing.” This sport sees alternate rounds...

The Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn, clashed with a BBC journalist who attempted to ask a question about the Syrian crisis, while he was speaking at a small business event. The BBC reporter, Mark Lobel, was in the process of trying to ask a question about the conflict with Corbyn, and last week's chemical attack. The audience, at the Fed of Small Businesses, booed the BBC hack, and appeared to want to concentrate on business issues. Corbyn walked forward, in a...

The Labour party has been struggling with internal conflict and Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership has constantly come under attack, leaving little time to launch any policy initiatives. Now the Labour party has pledged to increase the minimum wage to £10 an hour if they win the next election. The policy would leave full-time employees on basic earnings better off by more than £2,500 while 21 to 24-year-olds on lower wage rates would be in line for a £4,500 hike. The polls...

A leaked document has revealed secret government studies into the impact of a hard Brexit, with the Department of Health finding the NHS could be hit by a shortage of more than 40,000 nurses by 2026. Union GMB has appealed to the government to release the data, asking "what else has Theresa May got to hide?" after a whistleblower revealed the findings. There are thought to be dozens of impact assessments already carried out by the Government into its chosen course of...

Donald Trump's tweets have come back to haunt him once again as he launches strikes on Syria amidst plummeting approval ratings back home. Back in 2012 he claimed that President Obama would launch a strike in Syria because he was "desperate" over falling results in opinion polls, but Obama wasn't suffering nearly as badly as President Trump is today. The Republican leader's overall approval rating lowest in history for this stage of presidency, with 54 per cent of voters disapproving...

The Lib Dem Mayor of Watford canvassed support at her own front door in two staged election leaflets. The photographs were taken from inside Mayor Dorothy Thornhill's own home and showed her talking to an unknown "constituent" standing on her own doorstep. The leaflets showed almost identical shots of Mayor Thornhill were posted to homes in two wards some considerable distance away from her home. They were delivered in the North Watford and Nascot and Park wards and accompanied by...

Theresa May is busy today, selling arms to a country that will decapitate people for sorcery and witchcraft and also getting very angry about the National Trust not mentioning the word “Easter” enough, for a day out, where kids run about looking for eggs at a stately home. We need all the allies we can get, now we have Brexit, and the National Trust doesn’t have much oil. However, back in the UK one family is going through a tragedy,...

After a weekend where the UK has threatened to go to war with Spain, the US fancies a pop at North Korea, and the sun was out so everyone in the UK is hungover today. We need a laugh, and a Brexit laugh is timely. This reimagining of the Titanic through Boris Johnson's eyes, is genius, I've watched it five time already and it is comedy gold.
