Graham, the general secretary for just over a year, presided over 450 disputes in the past 12 months and counted the pay outcome as a win 80% of the time. He said strikes were “reaching a crescendo at the moment” because of the cost of living crisis, when every penny in people’s pay packets counts.

LONDON — It was the grandest of state funerals. It was a rare moment of shared national reflection. It was also a masterclass in diplomatic choreography. Two full hours before Queen Elizabeth II’s official funeral began at 11am on Monday, world leaders began to arrive. They came in waves — with a clear hierarchy on display. For most, arriving at the 750-year-old Westminster Abbey, just opposite the Palace of Westminster, involved stepping excitedly off a coach onto a sawdust-strewn London pavement....

Far-right talk show host Alex Jones must pay eight families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and one first responder $965 million in damages, a Connecticut jury ruled Wednesday, ending a bitter weeks-long trial that showed the serious harm caused by the conspiracy theorist’s lies.

I had never had a surgeon fall on my mat before. Domino’s discounts, yes. Leaflets about the gutter, naturally.
