One in six young people will not be in work or training in five years without action, report warns. The education, health and welfare systems are "no longer fit for purpose" in preparing young people for adult life. Interim report, recommendations later. https://t.co/xTh5ZhHfMI

Employers quick to blame wages and employment protection, but this problem pre-dates recent changes, and EU has similar policies. They should be looking at their own employment practices, as we explained here. https://t.co/JHfuf1wk0D https://t.co/xTh5ZhHfMI

@BBCMOTD The significance of this achievement cannot be under estimated.
Henderson's appearance at a 7th tournament joins the likes of the Bermuda Triangle, the Mary Celeste, Flight 370 and Area 51 as an unexplained phenomena that will baffle experts for years to come.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed.

But he still needed a 45% pay rise.

Like if he needs a pay cut.

In 2024 Anas Sarwar mocked Humza Yousaf with a nosediving gesture which reflected SNP polling at the time. It hasn't aged well. Today seems an appropriate time to retweet the clip.

The motormouth wouldn't appreciate this being retweeted.

At what point do we stop pretending our newspapers are ‘news’ and start calling them what they are…

Promotional pamphlets for the billionaires who own them and the agendas they’re selling.

@KennyFarq @thetimes It's hard to be exceptional when you're own media constantly tell you: you're rubbish!

According to Labour, questioning the use of excessive force by the policy is unacceptable. But apparently, supporting genocide in Israel by providing active assistance to the administration doing it is just fine.
