IN THEIR seven years as the inaugural Metro Mayors for Greater Manchester and Liverpool City, Andy Burnham and Steve Rotherham have completely failed to grasp the point of devolution – to give local people more power over political decision-making for their region. The pair have now produced a politics of envy, grievance and victimhood book, Head […]
THERE can’t be a more recognisable symbol of the British countryside than a thatched roof. Like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thatched_roofs_at_Selborne_-_geograph.org.uk_-_4564859.jpg There are estimated to be 60,000 thatched roofs in the UK, mainly in England (which has the most in the world), though there are a few in all the home nations. The history of thatching goes back […]
‘TAKING the piss’ is one of those phrases in common use of which few people know the original meaning. As a crude remark, it is sometimes more politely reworded by journalists and commentators as ‘extracting the urine’.

FOLLOWING the Israeli Defence Force’s (IDF) unintentional strike on a humanitarian aid vehicle which killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) employees in Gaza, two senior officers have been dismissed, while a third will be reprimanded.
