I always liked to study different disciplines and subjects, because I like the challenge of studying something new, something that I am not familiar with. I think that’s what made me join the University of Hertfordshire as a student in 2004 – the desire for adventure alongside with the wish to take a higher education degree. In 2007, when I concluded my BA (Hons) Humanities, with a major...

The urgency of radical reform of the Lords is even greater than your leader implies (31 August). Whoever is prime minister after the 2010 election could have to appoint up to 100 extra peers to add to the current 700-plus who are eligible to attend, to satisfy long-serving MPs and even up the party support.

Grant Shapps MP has set up a website campaign against the County Council's threatened waste incinerator at New Barnfield . But there's just one problem (apart, obviously from his support in the June 4 elections for Councillors like Stuart Pile who take part in County Council cabinet meetings to support incineration).
