Morning James

I've been thinking about these teacher pay offers. Why are we keeping state schools in multi academy trusts. These pvt co's have CEOs earning close to £300,000 per anumn. This is money robbed from school budgets.

Thanks for Cumming or not.

James looks like DOGE are either opening the door for Russia or working with them. Take a listen.

Musk blaming Ukraine for the cyberattack on X is disgraceful!

Ukraine are at war fighting for their country while suffering huge amounts of damage from Russia so the idea someone in Ukraine would be able to carry out this attack is absurd

More likely someone in America who hates Musk

Everyone’s taking the mic out of all the desperate, hard right grifters hot footing it over to Washington and pretending Trump invited them, but I for one think it’s quite lovely being here in Britain and knowing for the next few days it’s a bellend-free-zone.

Something needs to be done about this. We can't let our world fall into a space of alternative facts (lies). All the major platforms don't care. We need to legislate to protect free speach
