Eva Duda-Mikulin describes herself as one of Theresa May’s “bargaining chips”. She has lived in the UK for more than a decade, yet was not able to have her say over Brexit. So in order to give her fellow migrants a voice, she decided to ask Polish women in the UK about their feelings on Brexit and the country they call home.
The English Premier League is the richest football league in the world. While EPL giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool attract some of the game’s finest players and are global brands, Anastasios Theofilou and Evangelos Kontopantelis believe the league favours fans of London clubs. Not only is London over-represented in terms of the number of EPL clubs, but fans of teams outside London have to travel further and pay, in some
cases, much more to see their team play away games.
A house proud mouse caught on video tidying up the shed he lived in has been dubbed the “Marie Kondo of mice”. While this rodent’s conscientious cleaning may seem remarkable, it’s certainly not unusual behaviour among animals. From ants that build rubbish chambers in their colonies to damselfish that prune the algae in their undersea gardens, Sophia Daoudi and Jan Hoole reveal the neat freaks of the animal kingdom.
