Why is the answer to employers wanting more work ready graduates always that universities should provide more workplace training, rather than employers providing more training in the workplace?

Every generation inherits the responsibility to remember. On VJ Day, we pay tribute to those who served and sacrificed during World War II. As war continues to scar lives around the world, their courage reminds us that peace must never be taken for granted.

Ben Cullen, a leading figure of the "Raise the Colours" campaign, will stand trial for three separate charges regarding a total of 78 indecent images of children. I have only seen this covered in local newspapers, so far. Grim as it is, it needs wider coverage www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2624087...

Excellent piece by MP Michael Payne. Shows how Starmer is different to most in politics (in a good way), the HUGE list of achievements from this Labour government so far. And I think it all shows that the PM has no intention of going. He will not walk away because Burnham or Streeting demands it.

Dear Labour MPs, whatever happens now, you are a bunch of disloyal, ungrateful, self-serving shites. What you are doing to those that voted for you is disgusting. What you are doing to Keir Starmer and his family is utterly shameful. Hang your head in shame if you haven’t stuck by him this weekend.

Keir Starmer condemns Nigel Farage: “I am really shocked that he pretends to have respect for Henry’s family and then behaves in this way” Says Farage is “exploiting this tragedy…when the family are expressly saying please don’t” “It’s unforgivable, it shows exactly who he is”

You don’t have to be a Starmer fan to know that our country is doing better now than it was 2 years ago. That kids are being raised from poverty. Our towns are improving. Pay is increasing. Bills are coming down. That we are more stable and feel under control. Starmer’s done good

This is a key point in a good article by Sadiq Khan. It's possible to come up with long, involved explanations of why people should not feel threatened by particular chants, but the reality is that many do. So the humane response is to stop using those chants. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I also appeal again to the common decency of Londoners. Even if there is uncertainty about which chants cross legal thresholds, if it causes distress and is offensive to Jewish people – if it makes our fellow Jewish citizens scared – it should not be used. Respect for one another must remain the foundation of London life. It is not hard to express criticism of Israel without using language that incites violence.
