Over the last year, our schools have been leading the way when it comes to phone free classrooms.

This is a Labubu. Or at least it looks like a Labubu.

Labubu dolls are currently quite popular (honestly we promise they're big on TikTok) which has made them a prime target for counterfeiters.

In fact we've already seized a number from retailers in the city.
