DAN HODGES: I know the real reason Keir Starmer will never set foot in a truly working-class area ever again...
Finally. The Labour Party have discovered the British white working class do exist. Or, at least, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has. 'White working-class children, and those with special educational needs, do exceptionally poorly,' she admits. 'Put simply, these children have been betrayed, left behind in society's rear-view mirror.'

Hugh Jackman ‘heartbroken' over Deborra-Lee Furness' explosive statement
Hugh Jackman is 'heartbroken' over a blistering statement released by his estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, after she filed for divorce this week. Furness, 69, spoke out on Tuesday, just four days after she submitted paperwork to end their marriage of almost three decades amid reports the pair had privately reached a settlement which involved a 'handsome spousal support payment'. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep,' she told the Daily Mail. 'However, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us. This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage,' she continued. 'I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' 'The statement took Hugh and mutual friends by surprise, because she wasn't very direct with who she was speaking about but was alluding to Hugh, and that added emotional weight to it,' an insider told US Weekly. The source added, Jackman, 56, was 'heartbroken' but has no plans to retaliate with a statement of his own. 'Hugh loves and respects Deborra-lee Furness. He will always love her and won't allow it to get ugly,' they said. The former couple, who share 25-year-old son, Oscar, and 19-year-old daughter, Ava, announced they were splitting 'with gratitude, love and kindness' in September 2023. It was confirmed the following year that Jackman had been quietly dating his Music Man co-star, Sutton Foster. The pair was seen kissing in public for the first time in January. Meanwhile, Jackman's close friend, radio presenter Gus Worland, shared new insight on the situation in the wake of Furness' statement this week. 'No one wants anyone to go through what [Jackman] is, and he is going through it publicly because of his fame,' Gus Worland said during an interview on 2GB's Ben Fordham Live on Thursday. 'One thing I have been really strict on is to let Hugh and Deborra-lee Furness do what they have had to do. I was over in New York with him last month and he is fine. He is going along well.' Worland went on to add that Jackman is 'moving on with his life'. 'I hope Deb does as well. They were together for 30 years and have two beautiful kids together,' he said. 'I go to their kids and ask them what we can do to make sure they get through this as best as possible.'

Hobart personal trainer avoids jail after filming woman with hidden camera
A Hobart personal trainer has been given a wholly suspended sentence after he was found guilty of filming a client undressing without her consent. The Hobart Magistrates Court heard that in July last year, 56-year-old Simon Murray McIntyre set up a video camera concealed within clothing in a room at Hobart Fitness Training at the Tasmanian Hockey Centre in Newtown, in Hobart's north. The female complainant entered the same room and, while getting undressed, noticed the GoPro device. The court heard she later reviewed the footage and went to the police. Magistrate Jackie Hartnett read sections of the complainant's victim impact statement to the court, which she said conveyed the impact of the incident in a "clear, brave and articulate way". In the statement, the complainant said she was left in a "state of disbelief and denial after the incident", which she said "stripped her of self-confidence". After attending the gym, she was "slowing regaining her confidence" but now says her emotional state is "worse than when she started". The client felt "a sense of betrayal" and "self-blame" for trusting Mr McIntyre. Annalee Brumby, owner of Hobart Fitness Training and McIntyre's partner, submitted a character reference for him. McIntyre's lawyer Fabiano Cangelosi said Ms Brumby said there would be "difficulties" if McIntyre could not work as the nature of the role is dependent on his personal relationship with clients, adding there would be a loss in business if he were to go to prison. McIntyre has been working as a personal trainer at Hobart Fitness Training since 2023. Magistrate Hartnett said she was not satisfied that McIntyre did not pose a risk of committing another reportable offence in future and placed his name on the sex offenders register for 18 months. Mr Cangelosi said McIntyre "deeply regretted" the recording had been made and understood the "flow-on effects" of the incident on the complainant. McIntyre was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, wholly suspended, and 49 hours of community service.
