Psychotherapists and lawyers tell Kasia Delgado why there is a cultural shift around divorce, and why lockdown has made married couples across the world reflect on their relationships

Over the last months, the world has been enraptured by one of the most revelatory and intimate reputation battles of the past decade, as Johnny Depp failed in his libel case against the Sun newspaper.

With countless deeply personal details emanating from the widely-covered trial, the media coverage on both sides of the Atlantic was immense.

But, as we have noted before, the story does not end here. Mr Depp is suing Ms Heard for defamation in a $50m claim in the US.

In August, as part of Ms He

Like almost all social media platforms, Twitter was originally designed with a purely social purpose. By posting status updates, users could communicate, keep in touch with distant friends and share what they had been getting up to.

15 years later, the platform is almost entirely unrecognisable. With over 300 million users, spanning journalists, world leaders and business magnates, Twitter has become one of the most important global disseminators of information. As traditional media saw its sta

When lockdown first came in, we expected the phones to go quiet. After all, in times of crisis, many choose to batten down the hatches, waiting for calm to return before they make life-altering decisions. But this has not been the case.

Since the end of March, divorce enquiries have remained at pre-lockdown levels. And over the past week, as lockdown has begun to ease, they have shot up by 170 per cent. The crucial change we have seen, is in the way contact is being made.

Normal routines have

After blocking all news websites from the feeds of Australian users last week, Facebook have now backed down, and restored news content, after announcing a deal with the Australian government.

Facebook’s unprecedented decision to restrict what Australian users were able to see was the result of a proposed piece of legislation which would force tech giants to pay news publishers for hosting their content. The move caused widespread backlash with many believing it demonstrated the need for the po

The steady move from marketing in traditional media to online platforms has always been accompanied by the development of assistive technologies. From cookies to the creation of psychometric profiles for individual users, marketers and advertisers are constantly searching for ways to refine their approach based on the characteristics of those they wish to target.

This, of course, is not a new phenomenon and is not solely a product of a digital age: whereas advertisers may have previously placed

When the fate of your business hangs in the balance, having the right representation is essential.

According to a report from the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, online companies should be compelled to create accessible archives for “high risk” targeted adverts.

By archiving adverts in this way, the public could study records of previous campaigns, ensuring they do not disappear after they become inactive. This would help to ensure accountability and would also allow users to understand the types of targeted adverts that they see.

The report recommended that political adverts, alongs

Immediately after the indicative votes that were held last night, we spoke to Dr Sarah Wollaston MP in the Central Lobby about the future direction of Brexit, the campaign for a “People’s Vote” and Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Opposition.

Describing the “phenomenally acrimonious” environment within parliament, Wollaston, a former Tory MP who left to join The Independent Group, labelled Corbyn “a leader in hiding rather than a leader in waiting.”

During the series of eight indicative votes

Following last night’s series of indicative votes, we spoke to Chris Law, MP for Dundee West and prominent member of the SNP, about the next steps of the Brexit process and what the SNP would like to see moving forward.

Speaking in the Central Lobby of the Houses of Parliament, Law told the Review that parliament is now in “new territory”, describing these developments as both “frightening and exciting at the same time.”

Law highlighted that during the series of last night’s eight indicative v

With the European Elections taking place today, we spoke to Baroness Ludford, a former MEP for London and the Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Exiting the European Union.

Following their success in the local elections earlier this month, the Liberal Democrats have re-emerged from their time at the sideline of British politics, a period Ludford refers to as the “wilderness”, and into the foreground. This success has bolstered their hopes for today’s elections. Describing the “very encouraging”

In the run up to December's General Election, our election correspondent Joshua Sandiford will be creating profiles of key marginal constituencies around the country. This guide combines a profile of Sheffield Hallam as well as interviews with the three major candidates.

The student-heavy constituency of Sheffield Hallam was previously held by deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who was later defeated by Labour’s Jared O’Mara in one of the biggest upsets of the 2017 General Election.

Darkness envelops a plush, North London street. Passing beneath the glow of a streetlamp, an obsessively-manicured quiff stands rigidly, resisting the wind that buffers the creaking boughs overhead. Eery silence covers all, punctuated occasionally by the tap of immaculately-polished, Italian heels.

Turning off the pavement, past a tastefully-trimmed hedge, a figure reaches the door of a respectable, yet deliberately not ostentatious, townhouse. The noise of the turning key spooks a flock of pig

Volumes upon volumes have been written about Brexit and its causes, yet amid the maelstrom of accusation and excuse, one crucial element has been overlooked: the cancellation of Clarkson-era Top Gear.

Little did we know at the time that these three increasingly decrepit casual racists were the keystone that kept the fragile balance of British culture strong; the overlooked safety pin that held together the social fabric of Britain and prevented us descending into the high walled, swimming pool

The time has come. Coronavirus has come.

Soon, we will all be confined to our lonely moated granges, cocooned in bog roll, intravenously injecting hand sanitizer into our pulmonary arteries.

But never fear. Like a gin-soaked substitute teacher or a deserved bout of the clap, I have come in your hour of need to teach you a long-overdue lesson.

We all know the feeling: the pure but fleeting joy of discovering something for the first time. You eagerly rush to tell your friends only to find out,

Great art has the ability to capture the essence of a time. Within its composition, we can find the cultural, philosophical and political movements that informed its creation, masterfully depicted or painstakingly replicated.

In 1511, the Italian master Raphael completed his fresco, The School of Athens, which adorned the walls of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. In an attempt to express the concept of philosophy, Raphael had embedded the entire history of Greek thought, depicting, in one f
