Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has criticised Labour this week for "abandoning" women over its stance on the rights of transgender people. Writing in The Times, Rowling, a former Labour donor, said she would struggle to vote for Keir Starmer in the upcoming general elections. Rowling's comments refer to Labour’s pledge to “modernise” the process by which people can change gender. In its election manifesto, Labour has committed to making it easier for people to legally change gender, replacing the “outdated” necessity to present evidence showing that a person has lived as their new gender for...

Average salaries in the United Kindom fell back 0.1% to £38,765 (€45,736) from April to May, the first decline since last October, according to Adzuna's latest jobs report. Although it is a small decline, a slow down in wage growth could allay fears about future rises in inflation and increase the chances of a rate cut by the Bank of England (BoE). The Bank held rates at 5.25% again last week but economic indicators suggest a rate cut is in the offing. Inflation fell back to the Bank's 2% target for the first time in three years last week, paving the way for a rate cut as soon as August. Job v...

Financial reports suggest this is triggering a spending surge across Europe. Food and drink sales are expected to see a significant boost, along with an increase in television purchases. In the UK alone, Euro 2024 is proj...

After stints in odd jobs, the British photographer found his passion while attempting to teach football to American school children.

The festival had already grown to be a legendary par...
