Thursday's speech by Jeremy Corbyn outlined a future of prosperity for Britain's working people. Labour's offer is a stark contrast to the seven years of suffering endured by falling living standards, failing industry and frugal public services. That is why people in Basildon, and other towns like it will likely be considered a change of Government

Not only will the process of leaving and redefining our relationship with the EU consume our political discourse for the foreseeable future, it will also clog up the machineries of government. Little else will get a look in as whoever wins on June 8 attempts to unscramble an omelette decades in the making. Yet climate change doesn't give a damn about Brexit.

If the election is as close as some polls are indicating (and that is a big if) then these remaining next few days will be crucial, as previous studies have shown that about 7% of the electorate decide their voting intention in the last 24 hours. Another U-turn from Theresa May or another misstep from Jeremy Corbyn and that could be curtains for their bid for No.10.

Every single marathon has been special for some reason, such as my first sub four hour in Düsseldorf, crossing the Bosporus from Asia to Europe during the Istanbul Marathon, seeing the sun rise over Victoria Falls; but The Midnight Sun Marathon in Tromsø Norway is the most memorable. Being inside the Arctic Circle, in mid-June the sun does not set, so when running at midnight the sun is still in the sky. The conditions were perfect.

No main political party has yet committed to no further cuts for disability benefits. This election presents an opportunity to provide reassurance and security to people with MS and other disabled people - many of whom are really struggling.

In my line of work I deal with a fair amount of long term staff absence and pride myself on supporting colleagues back to work through phased returns and other appropriate flexible and supportive arrangements. I recall a colleague asking for a phased return from maternity a couple of years back.

Women are stronger when they march together, says writer Michelle Fisher in her poem Terms of Endearment. In a vlog for HuffPost UK she speaks about her disappointment in our female prime minister and her government's decisions, the election of Donald Trump and how when we march as one, we are strong.

I always knew talking was important. I grew up in a noisy, busy family. The only way to get anything was to speak up. The louder, the better. Then once, when I was about six years old, an adult leant down to me and said, "You'd better not talk so much or your voice will run out."

The 'Into It' team is back after a week off, and this week they're chatting all things 'Britain's Got Talent'. There's some brief respite from 'BGT'-mania as they pick apart Noel Gallagher's recent comments about Harry Styles' solo career, before a brief stroll down memory lane as they recall some of the most weird and wonderful 'BGT' acts in ever in the week's quiz.

Biometric markers are ideal for use as identifiers because they are unique and unchanging over time. But that also makes them very vulnerable. If these identifiers are compromised, the potential consequences for victims in terms of loss of privacy and security are severe. If my password is compromised I can change it, but I'm stuck with my fingerprints, eyes and other physical characteristics.

In one swift, selfish and vengeful act, Donald Trump has sentenced our children to a life more difficult. A planet more vulnerable. So when rising sea levels begin to flood New York City, it will be on Trump's head. When children are dying from lack of food and water, it will be on Trump's head. When millions upon millions of displaced people lose their homes, it will be on Trump's head. When our forests disappear and our rivers dry up, when our animals die and when vicious natural disasters wipe out families, it will be on Trump's head.

Almost a year after the EU referendum, this election is the first time voters in the UK can have a say on our post Brexit future. But what are the parties offering, and what will that mean for women? The Women's Budget Group analysis of the manifestos finds there are still more questions than answers.

Every vote for a Green candidate sends a signal that this is what we want. We want to do politics differently. We want a government that believes the best way forward is by working with each other rather than against each other. One that puts the rights of citizens above those of corporations, which ensures that nobody is left behind.

In reality, May was damned if she did and damned if she didn't. By not taking part, she was accused of running scared from the voters. But if she had turned up, she could have been accused of dancing to Corbyn's tune, being seen to follow his lead in participating rather than following her own judgement. It would have been mocked as another u-turn.

Ok, so some of this might not feel like small stuff, but I promise you it is. If little Jemima finds your secret stash of Jaffa Cakes and eats them all, aged 14 months, it doesn't condemn her to a life of obesity. If all the other newborns from your NCT class sleep in their cots from day one, and yours doesn't, it doesn't mean they'll still be sleeping in your bed aged 19.

We have the power to sway this election but only if we turn up! You've got one week to figure out exactly which outcome you want to see from this general election - one week to decide who you want to have represent you in parliament.

Depression may impact other parts of our bodies, too - including our blood glucose levels, bone density, menstrual cycle, sex drive, and sleep. Additionally, any medication we take for depression can also have physical side effects.

Maybe this explains why you've not been losing weight when you've been so damn good most of the week. Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's just that most of us have no idea how many calories are in the things we eat, even the innocuous ones like dips and sauces.

It is ultra-remote, which is why the base is used to simulate space travel. It has the similar combination of isolation, inaccessibility, low light levels and a skeleton crew that you would find in space - which is why it's nicknamed 'White Mars'.
