Bridgerton fans, get ready to channel your inner Daphne thanks to a seriously lavish new package that pays tribute to the hit Netflix show. We're talking a historic Grade II listed home all to yourself, a private chef, maid service and even a Grand Ball just for you and five of your friends for a seriously glamorous night out (or really, night in). We reckon Lady Whistledown would approve of the lavish new getaway from Oliver's Travels which includes a stay at the grandiose Inglethorpe Hall, complete with activities ranging from a picnic on the estate's private gardens to a horse and carriage tour of the local area, and even a casino night. Then there's the fact that Inglethorpe Hall could easily be mistaken for one of the Bridgerton filming locations with its incredible interiors, four poster beds, freestanding tubs and luxuriously decorated rooms. (Not to mention there are thirty acres of private grounds for those all-important promenades). Oh, and yes - you get the whole … [Read more...] about You can book a Bridgerton-inspired stay where you get your own grand ball

‘Boris Johnson’s response to unemployment crisis is criminally inadequate’
Soaring unemployment is Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak refusing to inoculate communities against miserable joblessness. Enthusiastic Government propaganda about a vaccine bounce back ignores lengthening dole queues officially forecast to stretch to 2.6million in a return to the misery of Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Others predict a total already up to 1.72m will climb even higher, particularly if the job-saving furlough scheme isn’t extended beyond the end of April when some lockdown restrictions will remain in place. Updated unemployment figures will be released by the Office for Budget Responsibility with next month’s Budget yet the Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer brushing over lost livelihoods in their recovery propaganda is telling. Joblessness is a price that Tory Governments traditionally accept is worth paying by other people, twisting the knife by goading those in work to resent the workless relying on benefits to survive. Gordon Brown, a Labour … [Read more...] about ‘Boris Johnson’s response to unemployment crisis is criminally inadequate’
