Editor's note

It’s drilled into you from childhood: brush your teeth side to side and up and down, gargle and rinse, don’t forget to floss. It might surprise you to hear however, that not all of the advice we’ve internalised is actually helpful for our dental health. Nicola Innes and Clement Seeballuck give a well-needed update with four ways to improve your routine.

Members of parliament struck a blow against the government last night in a cunning manoeuvre to help stop the UK crashing out of the EU without a Brexit agreement in place. David Howarth explains a complicated twist in the tale. Essentially, the MPs supported an amendment to the government’s finance bill to force Theresa May to end her “my deal or no deal” rhetoric. While her deal is hugely unpopular, it’s equally clear that a no-deal scenario would be disastrous for many sectors, including supply chains and the asylum system.

If you’re looking for a new job in 2019, you’d be wise to read Janina Steinmetz’s top interview tips. Her research has thrown up a number of common mistakes people make – including the humble brag and a lack of perspective.
