King Charles and Queen Camilla have politely declined to unpack their slippers at Buckingham Palace, despite a £369 million glow-up that’s taken a decade. We can’t decide if this is peak “downsizing empty-nesters” or the poshest case of buyer’s remorse we’ve ever seen.
Imagine spending ten years having your entire house ripped apart. New wiring (the old stuff was literally a fire…
So, the 2026 Fifa World Cup is coming. Cue the flags on cars, the sudden expert opinions from people who cannot find the recycling bin, and enough jet fuel to cook the planet twice over.
A new report from digital marketing agency Brand Ambition has dropped a truth bomb that should make every climate conscious mum choke on her fairtrade tea. Brace yourselves: the 2026 tournament is shaping up to…
I sat through The Devil Wears Prada 2 with a glass of something robust and a heart full of hope. Two hours later, the glass was empty and the hope was dead. This film is a disaster. A beautifully dressed, star-studded, expensive looking disaster.
And nobody is saying it out loud. Because the first one was fine. It was original enough, fun enough, quotable enough. But this sequel? It has…
I walked into Moss & Freud expecting glossy fashion nonsense. A supermodel. A grumpy old painter. A million?pound portrait. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything. And nothing. And that is the problem.
This film is not bad in the way The Devil Wears Prada 2 is bad. It is not boring in the way most sequels are boring. No, Moss & Freud is something far more interesting. It is a film…
When your other half announced they’re getting up at 5am on a Saturday to queue outside a record shop, you had questions. Mainly: “Why?” and “Can you take the kids with you?”
Well, Saturday 18 April is Record Store Day 2026, and more than 300 independent record shops across the UK will be flinging open their doors from as early as 8am. Hundreds of exclusive, limited?edition vinyl…
Ladies, we’ve all felt it. The tug-of-war over the glowing rectangle. The vacant stare of a teenager who hasn’t blinked in 45 minutes. The eerie silence punctuated only by the tap-tap-tap of thumbs on glass.
We’ve all been there. But it’s not your fault. And it’s not just “lazy parenting.” According to a landmark court ruling on 28 March 2026, it’s by design.
A Los…
You know that feeling when a man starts talking – really talking – about something that matters? Philosophy, history, the kind of conversation that crackles with curiosity? For some of us, that is attraction. Not the chiselled jawline or the gym-toned physique, but the mind behind it. As our London Mums’ editor Monica Costa put it recently: “For me, a man is charming and sexy when he can…
Every Christmas in Italy, a familiar figure appears in nativity scenes and town squares: the zampognaro (bagpipes musician). Wrapped in a heavy cloak, moving slowly, playing a sound that feels older than memory itself, he seems suspended in time. For Italians, that sound means Christmas – anticipation, devotion, winter, faith. Yet behind this apparently simple, folkloric image lies a far wider…
The Six Billion Dollar Man: Julian Assange and the Price of Truth is a blistering, essential documentary that forces us to look – really look – at power, war, and the astonishing cost of telling the truth.
Eugene Jarecki’s The Six Billion Dollar Man: Julian Assange and the Price of Truth arrives in cinemas on 19 December, and it does so not quietly, but with the force of a moral…
Ah, freedom. The word we print on tote bags, chant at rallies, sprinkle across Instagram like Parmigiano on pasta. We live in the age that claims to worship it more than any other… and yet, if you listen closely, something feels off. Like a slightly sour note in an otherwise well-rehearsed choir. No, we’re not living under tyrants twirling moustaches and banning books at dawn. Our century…
