The anti abortion woman arrested within the safe zone surrounding an abortion clinic in Bournemouth is not a victim . She can protest outside the zone but not harass women seeking help at the worst time of their life . Not a question of free speech .Back off JD Vance . Check free speech in the US .

As a retired teacher and never having seen this when I was teaching, it absolutely breaks my heart.

This is awful & heartbreaking. Schoolchildren from struggling families have pretended to eat out of empty lunchboxes to save their embarrassment at having no food. Ending child poverty must be a priority for the Government www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

BBC News - Children in Need raises more than £39m www.bbc.com/news/article... So many inspiring children telling their stories and also helping other children along with amazing volunteers. I loved the Children's choir. A poignant but joyous evening too. Thank you BBC.

Our local BBC news ran a story a little while ago about the same thing. A primary school in Sandbanks were providing a mobile laundrette that parents could use. Near one of the richest housing areas in the UK.

More than a million pallets of unusable Covid PPE, costing £8.6 billion, have so far gone up in smoke Billions of pounds were spent on completely unusable protective equipment, with a series of priority contracts handed to associates of Conservative ministers bylinetimes.com/2024/11/14/m...

Trump and Musk.... What a partnership. Both narcissists, both with massive egos both completely self-serving. Reminds me of BJ and Cummings. Look how well that went!!
