It’s the Epstein files deja vu: how many more powerful men knew about his crimes, and helped him out anyway? | Marina Hyde I’m sorry, but this is not just a political scandal. Time to refocus on the horrific mistreatment of women and girls, and the role of these ghouls, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The final present of Christmas 💚💛🖤Never in doubt ! COYS

Didn’t let us down ! 💚💛🖤

I've completely lost patience with most of the UK public.

Their extremely negative and dismissive attitude to everything.

Their permanent misery in every comment.

Their eagerness to complain without first finding out the facts.

Their insistence that unless things are done...

Free breakfast clubs for half a million extra children next year Thousands more families will soon benefit from free breakfast clubs as the government confirms plans for 2,000 new schools to join the scheme from April 2026.

Despite the naysayers & those complaining it wouldn't work, free breakfast clubs are up & running in 750 schools.

And they are about to be expanded, with 2000 more schools ready to offer them from April 2026, serving 500k more children and helping their families.

Thank you Labour!

What a year it's been for us! First, our Lionesses retain their Euros title, and now our Red Roses have won the Rugby World Cup. Both events in front of record crowds.🥳

History makers, game changers.💖

The Lionesses beat a very good World Champion Spain, and the Red Roses just dismantled a Canadian rugby team which shredded the reigning World Champions New Zealand last week. English women are elite.

The commentary by @mrjamesob.bsky.social of Trump’s arrival at Windsor is complete radio gold - cheered me up no end on a dreary day !! Please do more of these events James !! @lbc.co.uk

I’m not racist, just concerned From Epping to Facebook groups, how fear is being repackaged and pointed downwards and never up

Concern is human.

But if it always targets migrants, Muslims, or refugees – and never landlords, politicians or billionaires…

It stops being concern.
It becomes something uglier.

I hope this is the last piece I ever have to write in defence of assisted dying | Polly Toynbee Today’s vote is on a knife edge. MPs must take their chance to drive forward personal freedoms – and add to Labour’s legacy, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

This art installation is a literal sound bath.
Hundred sound bowls set a float in a bath to gently ricochet off one another creating a sound bath of seemingly random peaceful healing vibrations.
