Our legendary goalkeeper, Harry Gregg, would have turned 94 today.
His courage in the Munich air disaster will never be forgotten ❤️

Completely overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since my statement.
As I continue my treatment and my recovery now know that I simply have to raise more awareness around mental health in the future
Best part of 6 weeks before the UK Championships starts and all being well I’ll be in a better place by then but for now it’s just one day at a time
Thanks again for all your support. It’s meant so so much to myself and my family

The brutality of this is horrendous. So many good reporters have lost their jobs as part of a drive to integrate AI into the newsroom. Artificial intelligence simply cannot replace the experience gained through years of front-line reporting. I know there is a deep sense of betrayal among some of my former Telegraph colleagues. My heart goes out to them.

Venturing out into the elements, leaning into the wind like Titus Oates, clutching a roll of Izal if you were lucky, or yesterday's Mirror if you were on your uppers. A yank on the chain and a scurry back to Morecambe and Wise.
It's why the Boomer Generation is indestructible.
Could be big changes to the working week for teachers in England on the way. #education
Excl: Teachers could be allowed to work four-day weeks under government plans to give schools greater flexibility over working hours.
Schools will still have to provide lessons five days a week but Lucy Powell, the education secretary, has asked an independent pay review body to consider how to scrap the requirement for individual full-time teachers to be available for work on 195 days a year.
The reforms could allow teachers to complete their contracted hours over fewer days and ministers are also considering removing the ceiling on teachers’ salaries - both in a bid to help schools attract and retain staff.
A government source stressed that the five-day school week would not change and that the reforms were about bringing the rules for council-maintained schools into line with those for academies.

Many pupils at Mitchell House Special School in east Belfast are non-verbal but that does not mean they cannot communicate. And to get that message across they have written and recorded a song called My Voice.

NEW: BBC will no longer have a dedicated education editor as part of proposal that will see 100 jobs go across BBC News.
School leaders call the plan “deeply regrettable” and ask for a rethink.
Education/Social affairs editor jobs being combined.

The video produced by the DRCC involving grandparents does not represent the views of the Government. It was both inappropriate and demeaning to grandparents and has been removed by DRCC following my officials engagement with them.
