"You’ve passed your test, it was the most stressful thing you’ve ever done, you’ve got your first car, it’s your pride and joy and of course you want to take it to university. This is where you need to park your emotions for a while and think through very carefully whether taking your car to university will make your life easier or more stressful. Here are a few points for you to consider."

"Democracy can only work if it listens to the citizens needs. Democracy is not a simple yes or no at any required time. It changes in tune with the climate around us. Democracy allows for fickle minds. To revert is not undemocratic - it is fundamentally human. To those who claim a second referendum will cause disunity, wake up, it is already here, the damage has already been done. To those who claim the result will be the same, who cares? At least then we would know it was definitive."

"Dara O’Briain’s new show, Voice of Reason, is the perfect showcase for his own brand of imaginative storytelling, whether discussing the pitfalls of VR headsets, the everyday feeling of shopping for a tapestry or the separation anxiety you feel when the builders finally leave, his ability to universalise experiences for his audience exemplifies his acute observational skills and breadth experience in the entertainment industry."

"If you’re currently lost in a sea of political jargon, trying to decipher what on Earth is going on with the state of the Brexit negotiations and what it means for all of us, then this article is here to help. Sit tight, take a deep breath and I will break down exactly what has gone on in the last couple of months, where we are likely heading in the subsequent months and what is the likely outcome of all of this."

"The case for a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal has undoubtably gained a lot of traction in the last few months, most notably as the Labour party has made crucial strides towards supporting the cause. But the question must be asked as to why would anyone want to go through the chaos of the 2016 Brexit referendum again? This article will lay out the reasons why everyone – no matter party affiliation or position on the EU – should support a People’s Vote on the final deal by tackling the five main objections against such a proposition."

"The plastic problem. You may think you’ve heard all about it: don’t litter, don’t be wasteful. But when we delve into the topic further with Hannah Rudd’s Ted-talk style presentation, we find that the problem goes far deeper than this. Are you doing enough for your ocean?"
