I got this message from a mum of a boy who loves comics, on the same day I got a message from a dad who’s very ill son had his life transformed by reading comics. This stigma about comics really has to stop. It’s detrimental to children just as they’re learning how to express themselves.
Unfortunately, he has been told not to read or make comics because
"you can't learn anything from them" which annoyed him so much

Delighted to hear today that the answer to ‘who will supervise PhDs whose supervisors are being sacked?’ is ‘hire hourly-paid supervisors who were sacked in the previous round of sackings’. This rather whiffs of fake redundancies.

Labour's Bev Craig elected mayor of Greater Manchester, replacing Andy Burnham
The contest was triggered when now-Prime Minister Andy Burnham stood down from the role following his election as an MP last month.

From the Telemundo broadcast just now by the commentary team during a slow-mo replay of the goal and a shot of Haaland with his hair down: "This is a perfect goal. The ball didn't touch anything." In exaggerated, gravely, dramatic voice: "TERMINATOR"

TV historian Laurence Westgaph sued us to expose our sources and posted sinister threats about me and the 'cutthroats and sell outs'. We spent £75,000 fighting him in court - a crucial first test of the 'journalism exemption' in GDPR. And we won!! ✌️ www.livpost.co.uk/a-dish-best-...

Sensational, spectacular, magesterial. What a player! So glad I got to see that litte bit of history, even if only on the telly. Anyone who still thinks Messi is not the 🐐 is basically engaging in a 'birds aren't real' logic.
