A vicious bully who repeatedly punched his ex-girlfriend's dog and threatened to petrol bomb her house has been jailed.
Dale Stanley left his former partner feeling “numb” and “terrified” following two violent ordeals earlier this year.

When the victim questioned him and tried to take the blade, he “went mental” and cut her leg during the tussle.
Bolton Crown Court heard how she threw the knife out the bedroom window and Stanley, of Glebe Street, Leigh, left the house.
However he returned just three days later to subject her to more terrifying abuse.
Craig MacGregor, prosecuting, said Stanley left her house at 9pm on April 14, claiming he would be gone around 15 minutes.

Anthony Martial secured his place in the headlines with his @ @ @ @ @ the first by a United player since Sir Alex Ferguson retired .
Robin van Persie @ @ @ @ @ accomplish the feat .
The Blades were routinely swept aside by a convincing United performance @ @ @ @ @ result of the Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes partnership in midfield .

Follow our live blog below for all @ @ @ @ @

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder claims Manchester United are the best team the Blades have faced this season.
He said:
"It was one of the toughest, if not the toughest, nights of the season.
“You have got to come here on a night like this, especially when you are not in the greatest of form, to give yourself a platform to build and get a foothold in the game.
"Obviously that didn’t happen after two or three minutes going a goal down. Turning the ball over as cheaply as we did to world class players we are inviting pressure on and you are going to invite opportunities and they’ve got some unbelievable players.
“If you do that it’s going to be a difficult evening for you. I thought we had a decent little period midway through the first half but that’s all, a little period.
“I talked to Al (Alan Knill) that if we can get through to half-time and get the players in 1-0 down, possibly the game should have been taken away from us, but to be 1-0 down at Old Trafford is not the worst scoreline in the world with 45 minutes to go but then obviously we committed another mistake.
“Their third goal was a great goal. Great build-up and movement. Their movement all night was fabulous and we couldn’t get near them. That’s the disappointing thing because we were passive in our approach. We stood off of them and we allowed good players to dictate the game and it became very, very easy for them.”


themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-25--Once-good school is now inadequate - its education problems 'run deep'

A school has been rated inadequate following an inspection which found its ‘ deficiencies in the quality of education run deep ’ .
Moorhouse Primary School , in Milnrow , Rochdale , was classed as ‘ good ’ by Ofsted following a previous visit back in 2016 .
But a scathing new report says pupils have ‘ underachieved considerably ’ over the last three years , with children failing to ‘ gain the knowledge and skills that they should ’ during their time at the school .
And although senior leaders - including headteacher Ellen Bullock - have developed ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ being appointed , the ‘ sheer scale ’ of the challenge means things have not improved quickly enough .
The report says current pupils have gaps in their learning and , despite the school ’ s best efforts , are not catching up as fast as they should .
It adds : “ The deficiencies in the quality of education run deep .
Governors have not been effective in holding leaders to account for pupils ’ consistently weak achievement .
This includes disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ school are ‘ not high enough ’ according to the education watchdog ’ s report .
It adds that published data shows that when pupils ’ leave for secondary school their progress has been significantly below other pupils nationally .
This has also been the case in reading and writing over the last three years and in mathematics for the last two years .
Pupils - particularly those who are disadvantaged or with SEND - do not recognise common words well enough to read fluently , while older pupils have similar gaps in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems in mathematics , with the report finding the curriculum is not well matched for youngsters to their needs , hindering the learning of key mathematical skills .
And while there have been some improvements to the curriculum for those coming to the end of junior school , elsewhere it is ‘ too variable to make up for lost learning in the past ’ .
Support for pupils with SEND has improved , but not helped them to catch up quickly enough .
Inspectors found there was a ‘ wide variability ’ in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ areas , such as science , were strong , but subject leaders in geography , history and art had not ensured teachers understood the key knowledge to enable pupils ’ future learning .
However , despite the school being ranked as 'inadequate ' , it will not be placed in special measures as leaders have demonstrated they have the ability to make improvements .
The arrangements for safeguarding are praised as ‘ effective ’ with staff being vigilant and ‘ alert to any signs that pupils might be at risk ’ .
Pupils @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ‘ higher standards ’ leaders have insisted on , and are said to feel safe , happy and settled at the school .
The report adds : “ Leaders have established a team of staff to support pupils ’ personal development and to help pupils through any difficult times in their lives .
The establishment of this team is central to leaders ’ vision for improvement.
” But many parents say they are 'shocked ' by the report , as it does not reflect the experience of their children .
Lisa Howlett @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Year 5 , said : `` I can ’ t fault it from my daughter ’ s education and how she is progressing .
`` I can ’ t see anything Ofsted has said .
She is progressing well to her level and above it in some areas .
`` Any issues she has got they deal with efficiently and she is included in everything .
I have no negative experiences at all , I ’ ve been very shocked by the Ofsted report .
`` I feel parent communication could be better @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have . ''
And Chantal Pearce added : `` They have helped me a lot and they are kind and they want the best for our children .
`` My child likes the school he is doing very well and I would like to say thank you to the school for supporting me and my child at this difficult time with Covid 19 . ''
Sairoon Ahmed added that the school had been really good for her children and both had left with 'brilliant results ' .
Chantelle Mason said the school @ @ @ @ @ @ @ son a positive experience , whom she says 'gets a good education based around his individual needs ' .
She also praised Miss Bullock for listening to parents and making a number of 'positive changes ' .
Diane Davies added : `` I believe the school and its leadership go above and beyond to provide for and support the children in its local community .
During the coronavirus pandemic they have not only provided high quality work but also set online challenges to keep pupils engaged .
I am so happy and proud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' Read more of today 's top stories here Headteacher Miss Bullock , who was promoted to headteacher in January 2019 , said the report noted some strengths 'but as expected , some serious weaknesses ' .
She said : `` At Moorhouse , our end of Key Stage 2 ( years three to six ) results have been far from good enough for the last four years .
`` This clearly shows that less than half of our children have left Moorhouse with an adequate standard of education .
We accept this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absolutely already been made .
`` Ofsted noted in the 12 months of being appointed , new leaders have recognised a clear strategy to improve and have started to develop all aspects of the school ’ s provision . ''
However Mrs Bullock said she the school was proud its safeguarding culture was judged as being good , as was behaviour , adding this was something Moorhouse Primary did 'consistently well ' .
She was also pleased with the finding that pupils felt safe , enjoyed going to school and that a focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mrs Bullock added : `` Ofsted are confident that we have begun to successfully address the historical under achievement that has been evident over time .
`` Of course , many of our children do achieve high standards and make good progress .
However , this is not good enough and all of our children , regardless of need or ability , deserve the best chances of success . ''

But a scathing new report says pupils have ‘underachieved considerably’ over the last three years, with children failing to ‘gain the knowledge and skills that they should’ during their time at the school.
And although senior leaders - including headteacher Ellen Bullock - have developed ‘all aspects’ of the school since being appointed, the ‘sheer scale’ of the challenge means things have not improved quickly enough.
The report says current pupils have gaps in their learning and, despite the school’s best efforts, are not catching up as fast as they should.
It adds: “The deficiencies in the quality of education run deep. Governors have not been effective in holding leaders to account for pupils’ consistently weak achievement. This includes disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”

Expectations at the school are ‘not high enough’ according to the education watchdog’s report.
It adds that published data shows that when pupils’ leave for secondary school their progress has been significantly below other pupils nationally.
This has also been the case in reading and writing over the last three years and in mathematics for the last two years.
Pupils - particularly those who are disadvantaged or with SEND - do not recognise common words well enough to read fluently, while older pupils have similar gaps in their reading abilities.
There are also problems in mathematics, with the report finding the curriculum is not well matched to youngsters needs, hindering the learning of key skills.
And while there have been some improvements to the curriculum for those coming to the end of junior school, elsewhere it is ‘too variable to make up for lost learning in the past’.
Support for pupils with SEND has improved, but not helped them to catch up quickly enough.
Inspectors found there was a ‘wide variability’ in the effectiveness of the curriculum.
Some areas, such as science, were strong, but subject leaders in geography, history and art had not ensured teachers understood the key knowledge to enable pupils’ future learning.
However, despite the school being ranked as 'inadequate', it will not be placed in special measures as leaders have demonstrated they have the ability to make improvements.
The arrangements for safeguarding are praised as ‘effective’ with staff being vigilant and ‘alert to any signs that pupils might be at risk’.
Pupils’ behaviour has also improved due to the ‘higher standards’ leaders have insisted on, and are said to feel safe, happy and settled at the school.
The report adds: “Leaders have established a team of staff to support pupils’ personal development and to help pupils through any difficult times in their lives. The establishment of this team is central to leaders’ vision for improvement.”
But many parents say they are 'shocked' by the report, as it does not reflect the experience of their children.
Lisa Howlett, whose 10-year-old daughter Evie is in Year 5, said: "I can’t fault it from my daughter’s education and how she is progressing.
"I can’t see anything Ofsted has said. She is progressing well to her level and above it in some areas.
"Any issues she has got they deal with efficiently and she is included in everything. I have no negative experiences at all, I’ve been very shocked by the Ofsted report.
"I feel parent communication could be better but that’s the only criticism I have."
And Chantal Pearce added: "They have helped me a lot and they are kind and they want the best for our children.
"My child likes the school he is doing very well and I would like to say thank you to the school for supporting me and my child at this difficult time with Covid 19."
Sairoon Ahmed added that the school had been really good for her children and both had left with 'brilliant results'.
Chantelle Mason said the school had worked hard to give her 11-year-old son a positive experience, whom she says 'gets a good education based around his individual needs'.
She also praised Miss Bullock for listening to parents and making a number of 'positive changes'.
Diane Davies added: "I believe the school and its leadership go above and beyond to provide for and support the children in its local community. During the coronavirus pandemic they have not only provided high quality work but also set online challenges to keep pupils engaged. I am so happy and proud that my children attend this school."
Miss Bullock, who was promoted to headteacher in January 2019, said the report noted some strengths 'but as expected, some serious weaknesses'.
She said: "At Moorhouse, our end of Key Stage 2 (years three to six) results have been far from good enough for the last four years.
"This clearly shows that less than half of our children have left Moorhouse with an adequate standard of education. We accept this needs to improve rapidly and improvements have absolutely already been made.
"Ofsted noted in the 12 months of being appointed, new leaders have recognised a clear strategy to improve and have started to develop all aspects of the school’s provision."
However Mrs Bullock said she the school was proud its safeguarding culture was judged as being good, as was behaviour, adding this was something Moorhouse Primary did 'consistently well'.
She was also pleased with the finding that pupils felt safe, enjoyed going to school and that a focus on behaviour had successfully improved learning.
Mrs Bullock added: "Ofsted are confident that we have begun to successfully address the historical under achievement that has been evident over time.
"Of course, many of our children do achieve high standards and make good progress. However, this is not good enough and all of our children, regardless of need or ability, deserve the best chances of success."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-25--Family 'shielding' for 14 weeks to protect son told it was all a mistake

A family have been unnecessarily shielding for 14 weeks after a letter was sent by the NHS in error .

While the council has committed to working with other councils proposing cycle routes into Manchester, it is still coming under fire from residents and campaigners.
Environmental group Extinction Rebellion, protesting the council’s ‘inaction’, took it upon themselves to install their own pop-up lane on the A56 Chester Road in the city centre.

Pop-up lanes are one of several measures suggested by the government along with road closures, and Coun Stogia says the latter provides the ‘quickest and cheapest way’ to reallocate road space.
Coun Stogia told the meeting that road traffic was returning to pre-pandemic levels faster than any other mode of travel.

She said: “Until confidence in capacity is there so residents can get back into public transport, if we take out capacity on major routes then we will get back to congestion a lot quicker.
“These pop-up lanes are not a magic bullet.

Coun Richard Kilpatrick, a member of the scrutiny committee, voiced his disappointment that the council’s decision-making on pop-up lanes would not be subject to further scrutiny.
