Pope Leo XIV gave a speech to workers in Argentina widely seen as a rebuke of President Javier Milei's austerity and anti-union policies.

The Unknown Warrior was buried in Westminster Abbey #onthisday in 1920, representing the many thousands who had died on the battlegrounds of the First World War.
His funeral in the Abbey was attended by King George V; the Prime Minister, David Lloyd George; government, military and diplomatic representatives; and nearly a thousand widows and mothers of those killed in the war.
It was a moment of great national commemoration, with the Unknown Warrior representing all those lost on the battlefields who had no other memorial or known grave.

ALT A black and white photo of a solemn scene inside a cathedral. A wooden coffin, adorned with metal handles, rests on an ornate cloth draped over a platform. The cloth features intricate designs of crowns and other heraldic symbols. In the blurred background, tall pillars and indistinct figures add to the somber atmosphere.

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

Brilliant to see this recognition for Joe’s important, investigative work on silicosis.
A win for curious, campaigning journalism - key for unions working to expose occupational health & safety scandals and fighting for justice.
It was a real honour to win @newsmediaorg's Making a Difference award last night for @theipaper's Killer Kitchens campaign on silicosis in stonemasons cutting engineered stone kitchen worktops. A great night in a very grand setting at the House of Commons. Thanks a lot to the NMA and to everyone who voted.

Obama 🔥: "The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison! That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. The mobilized a whole of government response to that joke! They told the Treasury Secretary to hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. This really happened."
