We’ll also be delving deeper into that report into Rochdale Boroughwide Housing and picking up the interesting bits from an Angela Rayner and Dominic Raab-led PMQs. Let’s begin.
A major feature of the traditional Manc accent is still going strong in northern parts of the city, but is disappearing from people’s speech elsewhere.It’s long been thought that the north and south Manchester accents sound different. Dr Maciej Baranowski spoke to 122 people from areas within the M60 to find out if there is any linguistic evidence of this.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Prince Eric will not be forcing himself on Ariel through song in Disney’s upcoming live-action “The Little Mermaid,” directed by Rob Marshall. Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1989 animated movie, returned to work on the 2023 live-action remake and updated some of the song lyrics so they wouldn’t be outdated when it comes to consensual relationships. “There are some lyric changes in ‘Kiss the Girl’ because people have gotten very sensitive about the idea that [Prince Eric] would, in any way, force himself on [Ariel],” Menken recently told Vanity Fair. “We have some revisions in ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ regarding lines that might make young girls somehow feel that they shouldn’t speak out of turn, even though Ursula is clearly manipulating Ariel to give up her voice.”
