Best of Brakfast Episode 174 Yana Bolder
There was a time when if something broke, you fixed it. You didn’t rush online at 11pm looking for a newer version with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and an app nobody asked for. You grabbed a screwdriver, dug out the instruction manual from “that drawer,” and gave it a go. Gen X grew up in the golden age of repairing stuff. Our parents repaired things. We repaired things. Half the time, we […]
The Home Office has vowed to introduce new capped safe and legal routes for refugees to come to the UK later this year. The department said a model based on Canada's asylum system will allow organisations like universities, community groups and businesses to sponsor refugees. However, the Conservatives said no extra people should be let into the country until illegal immigration is stopped. Live Facial Recognition vans are set to […]
Everybody has done it. You wake up, stare at the ceiling and think: “I really cannot face work today.” Sometimes you genuinely feel ill. Sometimes life gets overwhelming. And sometimes you simply need a break from emails, meetings, customers, spreadsheets or pretending to care about another motivational team update. Over the years, people have come up with some incredibly creative excuses for taking a day off. Here are some of […]
Nicholas Rossi, who fled the US for Scotland after faking his own death to escape rape charges, has died in hospital. The thirty-eight-year-old, originally from Rhode Island, was jailed last year for raping two women in Utah in 2008.

Donald Trump has accused Iran of […]
No matter how many options appear on the menu, most of us end up ordering the same pub meals again and again. You tell yourself you’ll try something different this time. Maybe the special. Maybe the healthy option. Maybe that dish you’ve never heard of before. Then ten minutes later, you’re ordering exactly what you always order. Because some pub meals are simply unbeatable. Fish And Chips There may be […]
The Royal Family have released documents disclosing their financial affairs, including the three hundred and seventy million pound price tag for the Buckingham Palace renovation. Despite this lavish refurbishment, King Charles and Queen Camilla will reside at Clarence House rather than the London landmark, which remains operational monarchy headquarters. The release also includes the King's personal tax details to increase transparency. Hospitals are tired, worn out and unable to cope […]
Every summer, the same debate returns to workplaces across Britain. “It’s too hot to work.” Whether you are stuck in an office with no air conditioning, working in a warehouse, travelling on packed public transport or standing outside in direct sunlight, UK heatwaves can quickly make working conditions uncomfortable and sometimes unsafe. But what are your actual rights at work during extreme heat? The answer is slightly more complicated than […]
A Catholic bishop has been charged with two counts of raping a girl under the age of 16. Staffordshire Police confirmed 70 year-old David Oakley, the Bishop of Northampton, was arrested in September last year. The Diocese of Northampton stated the charges followed an investigation into non-recent safeguarding allegations, but they cannot comment further on an active legal process. Shop workers filming without consent is an increasing problem, according to […]
At some point in life, many people experience a quiet shift. You stop worrying quite so much about what everyone else thinks. Not completely, of course. We all care to some extent. But compared to our younger years, the opinions of strangers, neighbours, work colleagues and random people on social media start to matter a lot less. And honestly, it can be incredibly freeing. We Spend Years Trying To Fit […]
