U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

My wife doesn't have assigned drawers for any of her clothes. T-shirts go in with dresses, trousers with jumpers, even towels are chucked in anywhere. Her socks go in my sock drawer. This should be her fess, but she doesn't see the problem.

One in four Texas schools plan to use a new state-sanctioned reading curriculum infused with Bible stories and created by right-wing groups.

This isn’t about improving literacy.

It's about indoctrinating children.

25% of Texas districts are using Bible-heavy reading lessons in public elementary schools
The new state-sanctioned, Christianity-infused Bluebonnet curriculum is being used in over 300 of the state's 1,207 districts

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

I did my police training and was a frontline police officer for 18 months. But I learned more about criminal investigation from Ted Hastings in Line of Duty than I did from 3 months in a police classroom. Mother of God.

Fact checking is not censorship.

It's an essential public service.

The BBC needs to have a debate about whether Musk's outbursts should keep leading the news.

This isn't about censoring or suppressing his views; it's about whether to amplify them.

Most Brits aren't on X, they don't follow Musk & not every raving from a foreign plutocrat should set the news agenda
