Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The truth

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.

Alan Kurdi, dead on a beach

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

The absolute cream turnip of hypocrites.

General rule of thumb…if you’re watching a movie trailer and someone says ‘oh my God!’ the film will be garbage.

Anyone fancy actually finishing this race today?

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

Disgusting in every way

Fans should not be paying the price for the historic bad decisions of ownership/management and the Glazers' debt interest.

We have always supported lawful protest for fans who are prepared to get off their backsides and walk the walk and we believe that's most effective when we talk the talk too.

Packed state schools have no room for private pupils

Official government estimates suggest that the moves will lead to a drop-off in private school pupil numbers of 37,000. Given the increase in fees, 35,000 are expected to seek a space in the state sector instead. Ministers have stressed that nationally there is enough capacity to absorb any transfer in pupils, and that thousands of children every year move between the state and private system. Nationally, there are 578,000 unfilled places in primary schools and 465,000 unfilled places in secondary schools. Some 83 per cent of primary schools and 77 per cent of secondaries have at least one spare space. However, figures released

this Times headline is very misleading as the following pars - in the same article - explains

more fair to say “a handful of packed state schools have no room for private pupils says 2022/23 data”

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

After 40 years of damaging deregulation, Greater Manchester has this morning successfully retaken control of the whole its bus network. 🙌🏻

Sure it was shit.

Yeah it cost billions and achieved sweet FA.

WHAT. A. STAR. 🎯🏆

He’s lead is unassailable now, surely… #lukethenuke

Licha is a huge part of the problem! Been dreadful all season.

Martinez is a total liability.

If any United supporter thinks we’re too big a club, too good to go down you need to watch this game v Newcastle. This is absolutely relegation form. #MUFC

Habitat for Humanity mourns the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter Habitat for Humanity joins the world in mourning the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. A champion for affordable and decent housing, he and Rosalynn Carter donated their time and leadership...

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service.

#ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

United are awful, relegation fodder, the players are a disgrace and the manager looks absolutely lost. Absolutely pathetic. #MUFC

I believe we have this year’s winner. #duvetknowitschristmas

The two with the Daleks split the vote, they’re tied for second.
