A London based woman has opened a female-only club aimed at providing a safe space for women to party and stop men from ruining their nights out. 

Teddy Edwardes created the night club called LICK, posting to social media platform TikTok to explain the concept and reasons behind her business venture. 

“A man ruined my night out for the very last time six years ago” Ms Edwardes captioned her TikTok post. The video was liked well over 809K times, with the venue owner saying that the club nights are sold out every time a London event is held. 

“I started LICK because I just had enough of going to straight clubs and every single time having some sort of issue with men” she told BuzzFeed. 

She barely made a penny for the first three years, she explained. However she kept at it out of pure passion and it certainly struck a code. Edwardes continues to update her followers on her club work pushing for a safe space for women.

A gorgeous video posted by TikTok user @dnavigators shows the 19-metre high tree illuminate the village’s main square, with the structure’s 7,000 light bulbs dancing in unison across the tree’s 700 metres of wiring.

Mounted on a steel structure, the tree stands high at a whopping 19 metres, with baritone Charles Buttigieg and singer Albert Lauren Agius singing Christmas carols during the inauguration.

Is this the biggest Christmas tree you have ever seen?

Dec 19 2022 Share

An 83-year-old Argentina football fan was photographed watching the World Cup on a chair outside through the window of an electronics store. 

The photo of Carlos Bejar watching the semi-final victory over Croatia went viral. Bejar did not have cable TV and thus had to find an alternative to watching his team win their way to the final. 

He informed local media that he lives close to the store and that he travelled there because he has no connection in his local area. The photo was retweeted well over 5000 times, earning him a massive gift.

Company Fravega gifted Carlos a 55-inch TV so he could watch the final against France from the comfort of his own home. 

The elderly man was immensely grateful for his gift, but revealed that he still planned on returning to the store. ‘As long as they don’t throw me out there, I’ll be there’ he said. 

The shop is located close to Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires, which received hundreds of thousands of football fans celebrating the Argentinian World Cup victory.

Deal reached on Casa’s multi-billion Social Climate Fund

Dec 19 2022 Share

Millions are set to be unlocked for Malta pending final approval of the deal after the new year.

MEP David Casa announced a provisional agreement to set up a new multi-billion euro Social Climate Fund to help families and small businesses through the climate transition. David Casa was a lead negotiator after being appointed Social Climate Fund rapporteur for the Employment and Social Affairs Committee (EMPL) last year.

The Fund was provisionally agreed at €86.7 billion and will be financed through a historic carbon pricing mechanism, the flagship climate policy of the European Union which was agreed by fellow negotiators jointly with the Social Climate Fund.The Social Climate Fund is part of the “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”, which is the EU’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels in line with the European Climate Law.

Commenting on this, Maltese MEP said that this is positive news for our energy needs, the climate and all citizens. “We are the closest ever toward ensuring that the climate transition will be fairer and more socially inclusive,” Casa said.

PN MEP Casa thanked his co-rapporteur on behalf of the ENVI Committee, EPP MEP Esther de Lange for the excellent cooperation throughout the past year. He also expressed his gratitude to his shadow rapporteurs who represented all other European political parties during the negotiations.
