School pupils are to be taught how to tackle conspiracy theories, spot 'fake news' & root out misinformation. The Daily Mail, ajudged by Wikipedia to be an unreliable new source, is furious. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to work out why.

As anti-Labour media will always put words in her mouth, why not beat them to it:

"Yes it's true, Daily Mail readers, we are coming for you and your money because a) everyone else had to pay under the Tories b) Brexit screwed the poor c) you voted for both. Cheers, Rachel."

Rachel’s husband forgot to do licence

RAGE RAGE RAGE from the press

Sunak forgets to insure our debt against interest payments costing this country billions…

Barely a murmur?

This country is completely messed up. He also became PM AFTER this

Supermarkets warning about price rises if taxes rise. They profiteer and make billions of pounds. They pretend they β€˜care’ about customers. They care only for large salaries at the top and profits.

Sainsbury’s join Next in signaling price rises due to tax changes.They are both forecast to make Β£1 Billion in profit. And you think they care for anyone but themselves? Greed upon greed

NEXT saying prices are going up due to tax rises but forecasting a billion in profits sums up the problem we have. The greed of large companies

Literally all they had to do was calmly condemn Musk’s dishonest & inciteful attack on their parliamentary colleague, Jess Phillips. And they couldn’t even manage that. Absolutely shameful.

Agreed - the tragedies make the headlines but many children are at risk due to the very high thresholds required before Social Care have the capacity to intervene.

Sadly, this has been happening for years with no action. School leaders challenge the parents, the parents withdraw the child. Social Care not interested and no local resource to follow up. Clearly not usually with the devastating consequences in this case but many damaged children.

You can’t manufacture or put a price on fan passion and true competition. They’ve all taken the dirty money and deserve their joyless existence

The obsession of playing out from the back in football is bizarre.
