@FirthSarah @NickyCTMBEDL @ThePieceHall Agree, my daughter had an amazing time at the McFly gig on Sunday and the staff looked after us so well. Thank you 🙏🏻

Excellent to see @guardian feting the marvellous & magical @ThePieceHall & the work of Nicky Chance Thompson and @Calderdale - one of the very best acts of bold local government of the last generation. A structure whose beauty & context genuinely survives comparison with St Mark's Square in Venice. If...

There are 16 million disabled people in the UK but during the six weeks of campaigning, there’s been little focus on how the main political parties are going to help them.

Ruben Reuter went to find out what they have to offer.

Today's column explores why some issues - like assisted dying, gender self-ID & surrogacy - defy alignment along a left-right spectrum, & why it's dangerous to pretend otherwise.

Sometimes our take on human nature trumps our political allegiances. Good

My niece Beth has gone missing. She got on the Jubilee line at Westminster towards Stratford. She’ll be confused - if you see her please DM

We’ve turned replies off on this thread, something that we’ve never done before ❌

But we don’t feel we have a choice.

Earlier this week we posted about ableist slurs in Ricky Gervais’ new show.

As a result, our replies have been full of abuse towards disabled people 🤬 1/7

@darynsimon @elly_chapple Too many secondary schools treat their pupils as animals or even machines that need to be controlled rather than developing human beings in need of understanding and kindness. It should not be like this. The system needs to change.

[Daryn Egan-Simon @darynsimon]

Year 7s aren’t too ‘needy’ - they’re 11/12 year old kids trying to adapt to new ways of being in unfamiliar school environments. The system needs to better support that transition rather than chastise children for not coping with this enormous change.

Congratulations to @LindleyJS Choir in Huddersfield who, not only took first place at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, but were named Children's Choir of the World in the famous Welsh music festival that finished yesterday.

For women, singing is forbidden in Iran. This woman is bravely singing in one of Esfahan’s most historical mosques. When the security agent tried to stop her, she resisted and continued. Brave Iranian women like her will some day bring down this most anti-woman regime.
