A political party’s leadership contest is always a fascinating thing to watch. Promises and feathers fly, ideologies clash, and the candidates try to pitch themselves as the ‘true’ inheritor of all that came before. The current Conservative leadership contest has so far been true to form, with the final two candidates tearing chunks out of […]

Of all the great institutions of the United Kingdom, perhaps the one that has the most lingering and ongoing impact across the globe, is the BBC. Its programmes and productions are sold to almost every country on the planet, programmes such as Top Gear, Doctor Who and anything with Sir David Attenborough in it have
Paying for Auntie- but is it time for a bigger consultation on the future of the BBC? Read More »
Despite playing a leading role in the development of aviation and flight, one area we never quite managed to get a hold of in the UK was space travel. Though we did experiment with developing an independent space operation capacity in the 1960s, after only four launches of the home-developed Black Arrow satellite carrier rocket

You may remember back on April 1st, in what was decidedly not an April fools gag, we reported the first case brought against a bus franchising decision made by a combined authority. Greater Manchester was the first such body to make such a decision, though others are known to be examining the issue too which

We’re all noticing it, the tension in our wallets, as the price of fuel, food and energy skyrockets.
