DAILY MAIL COMMENT: Teaching unions come bottom of the class 

Image
How utterly dispiriting that the main teaching unions are still playing politics with the education of millions of children. After the chaos caused by Covid lockdowns, parents and pupils had craved normality at school. Sadly, their hopes lie in tatters. Just when children are struggling to get back up to speed after classrooms were shut during the pandemic, their education – including exam prospects – is once again being blighted by the teacher strikes. Families will rightly be furious at the prospect of a return to Zoom lessons at home (or, indeed, no lessons at all). DAILY MAIL COMMENT: How utterly dispiriting that the main teaching unions are still playing politics with the education of millions of children (file image) The hard-Left teaching unions, which are demanding uneconomical, above-inflation pay rises, say they have no choice but to press on with this reckless gambit. Of course they have a choice. They could put children first. Instead, they are maliciously ma

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Zara Phillips' pal wears 'lady in waiting' badge at the races 

Image
Queen Camilla abolished the historic title of ‘Lady in Waiting’ after her husband was proclaimed monarch, but Zara Tindall appears to be keen to keep it going. King Charles’s niece turned up at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire with her friend Dolly Maude wearing a badge carrying the words, ‘Lady in Waiting’.  The badge granted Maude, an NHS maternity nurse, entry to the highly restricted Royal Box. A spokesman for Zara insists: ‘It was a joke. Zara doesn’t have any sort of Lady in Waiting.’ Queen Camilla abolished the historic title of ‘Lady in Waiting’ after her husband was proclaimed monarch, but Zara Tindall (pictured) appears to be keen to keep it going King Charles’s niece turned up at Cheltenham Racecourse in Gloucestershire with her friend Dolly Maude wearing a badge carrying the words, ‘Lady in Waiting’ The badge granted Maude (left), an NHS maternity nurse, entry to the highly restricted Royal Box Perhaps Maude feels she deserves the badge of

Dunsneerin': It's the most telltale social divide – whether your house has a name or a number

No sooner has the dust settled on Jeremy Clarkson’s controversial attack on Meghan Markle than he stirs up another hornet’s nest by accusing people who live in houses with names rather than street numbers of being social-climbing Nimbies. Clarkson, 62, says that it’s the snobby types whose houses have names who are dead against his Diddly Squat farm and shop in Chadlington, Oxfordshire — which has been inundated with visitors after being the subject of a hugely popular Amazon Prime Video series — whereas locals who live in numbered houses tend to be more tolerant. ‘It’s split pretty neatly between those who have a house number — you know, 22 Oak Avenue or 3 Grove or whatever — who tend to support us, because we bring business to the area and jobs for their kids,’ says the former Top Gear presenter. ‘If they’ve got a house name, they tend not to like us, because they tend to have moved here from London quite recently, and they don’t want crowds of people coming to the farm shop, s

Sacked Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi aims at the media – as Rees-Mogg pushes Boris Johnson for job

Image
Nadhim Zahawi yesterday launched an extraordinary attack on the Press over media reports that ended his career in frontline politics. In an unrepentant letter to Rishi Sunak who fired him yesterday morning, the former Tory chairman made no reference to the tax row that led to his sacking, and offered no apology for his conduct. Mr Sunak is now hunting for a ‘squeaky clean’ candidate for Tory party chairman, and was last night struggling to find an immediate replacement for the post, which is critical in the run-up to a general election expected next year. Showing no contrition over his behaviour, Mr Zahawi instead yesterday claimed he was ‘concerned’ about the conduct of sections of the Press which had investigated his tax affairs – and implied coverage could lead to threats against MPs or his family. Unrepentant: Nadhim Zahawi and wife Lana In an unrepentant letter to Rishi Sunak who fired him yesterday morning, former Tory chairman Nadhim Zahawi made no reference to

Australian Gen Z under 30 entrepreneurs slam 'boomers' calling millennials lazy and entitled

Image
Baby boomers have sparked fury describing Generation Z as ‘lazy, weak babies’ – but three successful young Australians have hit back with the ultimate response: ‘Look at us now’. A female miner, a former surf coach and a real estate co-founder solely focused on helping fellow young people enter the property market are among a host of entrepreneurs aged under 30 to show off their extraordinary success to Daily Mail Australia.  A generational feud recently erupted on social media after a business guru claimed ‘old-style boomer managers’ are causing younger staff to quit in the wake of a post-Covid jobs crisis phenomenon dubbed the ‘Great Resignation’. The furore prompted boomers to hit back at ‘lazy’ Gen Z’s – a sociological term to describe the generation born between 1997 and 2012 – complaining about their working conditions. Some ‘boomers’, those born between 1946 and 1964 during the economic and population ‘boom’ years, have claimed younger workers are ‘weak’ with no clue abou

ANDREW PIERCE: Nadhim Zahawi was never going to jump before he was pushed

Image
Within minutes of Nadhim Zahawi unleashing his extraordinary resignation letter yesterday morning, Tory MPs were dissecting it on their private WhatsApp groups in disbelief and astonishment. Zahawi expressed no remorse, failed to admit any wrongdoing and pointedly included no apology for his conduct, seeking to blame others for his mistakes. Cabinet ministers who had privately conceded for days that the Tory party chairman was finished were taken aback by the letter’s unrepentant tone and the attempt to dodge all responsibility. ‘Where is the humility?’ demanded one minister when I spoke to them yesterday. ‘I can’t recall such a graceless Cabinet resignation letter. Nadhim’s obviously concluded there’s no coming back, and there can’t be after that outburst.’ Zahawi expressed no remorse, failed to admit any wrongdoing and pointedly included no apology for his conduct, seeking to blame others for his mistakes Under mounting pressure to limit the ongoing damage he was causin

Zachary Levi sparks anti-vaxxer rumors with tweets critical of coronavirus vaccine maker Pfizer

Image
Zachary Levi has been slammed online after he posted a critical tweet of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in the early hours of Sunday. The Shazam! Fury Of The Gods star, 42, set off the controversy after he quote tweeted a post from an account espousing anti-vaccine views that claimed Pfizer was ‘a real danger to the world.’ Levi,  whose new DC Comics film is set to hit theaters on March 17, wrote in his retweet: ‘Hardcore agree.’  Although Levi was expressing a personal opinion, he is now a figure within Warner Bros brand – and this latest move could mark the beginning of yet another publicity battle for the film and TV studio. This is the latest embarrassing feat in a myriad of issues embattled Warner has had in trying to promote films starring controversial characters.  Anti-vax controversy: Zachary Levi, 42, sparked rumors that he may have anti-vaccine views after he posted multiple tweets critical of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer early on Sunday; seen in December 20
