Zoe Ball’s boyband toyboy says there’s ‘no way’ she’d stay faithful
Remember when Zoe Ball was caught snogging a fresh-faced boyband singer in a club last year? Well, 23-year-old TayTay Starhz certainly does – he was the man in question, after all – and he’s rather unhelpfully waded into the almighty fallout following Zoe’s separation from DJ Normal Cook. 53-year-old Norman gave his missus the benefit of the doubt on that occasion, which Zoe, 45, dismissed as a “silly moment”.

The Romans got it right on immigration
As the UK prepares for Brexit into the big wide world outside, it has been pointed out that the Foreign Office is sadly lacking in people with hard experience of that world, and even more lacking in people from that world. Whatever else the Romans were, they were not hung up about race. The satirist Juvenal was cynical about the Greeks, who would happily turn into anything you wanted them to at the drop of a hat; and doctors observed that different environments produced not only different physical make-ups but also different mentalities — often unattractive ones. To take one example: the Roman army was full of provincials, who found it a very good way to become a Roman citizen and make (with luck) a decent living.

Theresa May orders review of employment law as labour market changes
Britain's vote to leave the European Union was driven in part by a backlash against the political establishment among working class voters who believed their prospects had been badly damaged by the 2007/08 financial crisis and years of austerity. The review will look at whether existing employment law can cope with the country's growing number of "non-standard forms of employment", such as self-employment, temporary work or "zero-hours" contracts, which offer employees flexibility, but no guaranteed work. Earlier this year, politicians condemned British retailer Sports Direct for effectively paying workers less than the minimum wage, while working conditions at taxi firm Uber have come under legal scrutiny. "New forms of employment have many advantages for workers and consumers but there are challenges and risks," said Matthew Taylor, head of an arts charity and former government policy adviser who has been asked to lead the review.

Conservatives scrap "pointless" medical tests for welfare claimants
People who are unable to work due to serious illness or medical conditions will no longer have to undergo "pointless" reassessments in order to receive benefits, the government has announced today. More than two million people qualify for ESA which provides financial support of up to £109 per week for people who are unable to work due to disability or illness. The change will affect people who are suffering from conditions which mean they are unable to work and have no prospect of recovering, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), severe autism or Huntington's disease.

‘It took me 35 years to get over boarding school’
Thirty years after I left school, I was invited back for an old girls’ event. I packed my overnight bag, kissed my husband goodbye and made the drive there from my home in Suffolk. Hours later, I was standing in my old dormitory – I’d been curious to look around – and was hit by an overwhelming desire to escape. I’d been a bit nervous to come, but nothing could have prepared me for the rush of distressing memories. I’d planned to stay at a nearby hotel, catching up with other former pupils. Instead, I got in my car and drove straight home. Walking into that dorm had uncovered feelings I’d buried for years – fear, loneliness, worthlessness. And although I was a grown woman of 46 with three children,
