By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor The social media giant received 113 times more of taxpayers’ money to advertise on the site than the social network paid back in corporation tax. Various government departments spent a whopping £489,329 in 20014-15 on adverts with Facebook in the UK. In return the multi-billion dollar company gave the public purse £4,327, a lot less than most people in the UK paid in tax for the same period. Astonishingly, Facebook claimed they only needed to...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor We have come across a hilarious video parody of Cameron vs Corbyn PMQs rap battle. TLE labelled the two JAY-SEE and Eazy E-U after yesterday's "yo momma" off. The video was made by Simon Gibson, for more from him follow@simonwgibson See video (below) like all good rap battles it contains explicit lyrics.

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Lord Hall has apologised to the hundreds of victims and their families who were abused by the two twisted BBC celebrities. He admitted the corporation fell short when it came to protecting the public from these two A-list stars. Watch video here 

By Darragh Roche Confession time: I follow George Galloway on Twitter. Like the dozens of political accounts in my newsfeed, Galloway's can usually pass unnoticed in the blur. Recently, however, I was drawn to his page following some posts about the Grassroots Out campaign – a pro-Brexit group that's seen Galloway buddying up with UKIP's Nigel Farage. Scrolling through the former Big Brother contestant's tweets, the surreal beauty of it all revealed itself to me. It was like the moment...

By Darragh Roche It's not often MP s have the moral high ground when it comes to money. They get paid by the taxpayer, claim expenses for silly things and provide questionable value for money. But when a Commons committee put some simple questions to the European boss of Google, the politicians won a rare victory. People are already angry at Google for apparent tax avoidance but Matt Brittin's claim that he didn't know his own salary was beyond belief....

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Comedian Peter Serafinowicz has done it again, and harder than ever. His third Trump video comes on the back of "Cockney Trump" and "Posh Trump." He pulls no punches as he used his own voice to say what Trump "really means".  It is clear Mr Serafinowicz is totally fearless in his pursuit of the Republican candidate. Watch Video Here

Google suggests common searches for all of the other major political parties, usually not very complimentary, but nothing appears for searches for “Conservatives are” or “Tories are.” If you do the same search replacing Labour for Conservative suggested searches bring up “…finished”, “a joke” and “right wing.” For the Liberal Democrats the...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Here is a video of a Donald Trump speech, where he spouts off about whatever appears in his mind, nothing new there. However, in this clip a cockney accent replaces his voice. No words were changed, which makes it all the more shocking. Enjoy...if that's the word I am looking for.

By Steven Topple  2016 marks 80-years since the BBC’s first Royal Charter expired – and the issues surrounding its decadal renewal in 9 months are as tempestuous as they have ever been. The news yesterday that “Auntie” will be campaigning for the over-75s to voluntarily give up their free licence, in a bid by the organisation to rake back some of the £700 million it will incur in costs by 2020 (after the Government forced it to suck-up the expense...
