A Senior Mouse Catcher should arrive for duty calmly, professionally and at a speed that suggests he is being paid by the metre. I’ll get there when I get there. POV: Your shift started five minutes ago, but you’ve got 109 Employee of the Month awards and therefore fear nobody

Want to give a big hug to everyone else out there who’s looking at the world right now and not liking what they see. Understanding we’re not all in the same boat but that we are in the same storm is the key. Empathy, although out of fashion right now, is crucial. We’re different. But the same. ❤️🙏🏻🤘

‘The risk is the emergence of a migration ‘doom loop', in which political pressure to reduce migration leads to policy choices that weaken economic performance and public services, thereby intensifying the very political discontent that fuels anti-immigration sentiment.’

This video shows why it's better to stay indoors and not go outside during a drone attack on the city It was filmed today Please share it Stand with Ukraine ❤️🇺🇦❤️

This is a big deal for Bungalu! For six months after his rescue, he never lay down – too weak and unsure he could get back up. Now, he's strong enough to enjoy a leisurely dust bath. Little Kaikai, however, wasn't convinced. Seeing her best friend lying down, she rushed over to nudge him back up!

My neighbour Ken (aged 101) is very poorly in hospital. He’s dying, basically, and they are making arrangements to bring him home so he can die there in accordance with his wishes. So we went to the hospital today and walked into his room…and he was watching It’s A Wonderful Life 😂 Only Ken……🥲

Air raid siren 🚨 in Kyiv 😾 Drones literally over our house I just heard a very scary loud sound of something flying very fast I hate it!

Telegram channels warn: The enemy has prepared missiles for a massive strike According to intelligence, there is a threat of an attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region within the next 24 hours

It's enormously depressing to see the Lib Dems loyally falling in behind the collective fantasy of our times: that you can cut taxes, rebuild public services & solve the massive problems confronting the public finances by pulling some magic lever marked "increased growth". This is just not serious.

DW stands in solidarity with CNN, Politico and MS NOW, which have been denied access to the White House. Independent journalism requires free and equal access to public institutions. Restricting media access based on reporting sends a troubling signal for press freedom.

Empty White House press briefing room with rows of seats, a podium, and a U.S. flag. Overlaid text reads: “DW stands in solidarity with media outlets barred from the White House.”

A 2yo Ukrainian girl, Emilia Ivanenko, was killed by a russian drone in Chopovychi, Zhytomyr region, 120km from Kyiv Her funeral was held today, September 22 russia has killed yet another Ukrainian child And the world just watches Rest in peace, little angel 🕯️💔

22 September 1934. An explosion at Gresford Colliery in North Wales resulted in the deaths of 266 people. Only a small number of the victims' bodies were ever recovered. It’s one of Britain’s worst coal mining disasters. A lengthy inquiry did not conclusively identify a cause.
