FWIW French school children aren't attacking their teachers - in fact, some teachers have been joining them on the streets.

This is frustrating nonsense. The majority of Jewish greens are anti Zionists. They might not all support the motion but they certainly don’t think it’s stopping them saying Kaddish. Total nonsense www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Our school chaplain had been a Pontins Bluecoat before he became a priest, so that informed a lot of his assemblies. There was one where he shuffled on & he appeared to have shrunk by 2 ft & was wearing an anorak & a massive pair of yellow wellies. He was actually kneeling in order to look shorter.

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

I feel really bad for Ed Sheeran. Every artist made clear in their statements that they don't blame him, they love him, etc. and I have no doubt in his sincerity about wanting to take care of the crew and not let down his fans who paid good money and made plans. In the list of bad actors, he's last

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one
