Lab-grown diamonds are dulling the sparkle of the real thing. The jewellery trend is taking over the traditional diamond market, mainly due to their cheaper price.

Fresh off the back of new Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer accepting free suits and glasses (is it just me or is accepting free glasses even weirder than accepting free suits?), the Deputy Leader of the British Labour Party accepted a free apartment in New York.

They are doing this because the Government has decided banks need some kind of reform and there is not enough competition. What they plan to do about it we don’t know, but it’s the same argument around telcos, and petrol, and supermarkets, and airlines. Of particular concern to the Government is the way the farmers are treated. There is
