Utterly convincing on the benefits of rail, but also about so much more than just trains, describing how we can effectively create society and community that works for us all

Finally got round to reading @garethdennis.uk excellent book How the Railways will Fix the Future

BBC reporting on Earth (presumably):
"Strongly contradicting narratives emerging on the Earth's shape today. Video from space appears to show the planet is round, but this is strongly disputed by many who insist on its flat nature.
Whatever the truth, this debate is likely to remain divisive"

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting.

Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth?

For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

Taking almost half a million children out of poverty is a very good thing, and it's ridiculous that Labour had to be dragged kicking and screaming to actually do it

Text: Rich households use much more petrol than poorest. With bar graph showing annual household spend on petrol and diesel, the richest households spend over £1200 and the poorest spend between £400 and £600.

Frustrating to see the fuel duty cut extended again. This is a policy that benefits the richest households much more than the poorest as they spend more on petrol. That's without even accounting for the environmental impact.

IMT recruitment even more competitve than last year. The Gov and NHS should hang their heads in shame at how they treat doctors.

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.

How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Tonight's traitors voting is probably a good prediction of the chaos we'll see in the 2029 election

Shortly after accusing all other political party leaders of believing in "the magic money tree", Kemi Badenoch announces her plan to completely scrap stamp duty, without any word on how she plans to pay for it

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who could take €1bn hit, says proposed 2% levy ‘aims to destroy liberal economy’

As Yvette Cooper pushes forward new laws to make it harder for child refugees to get safe passage to join their parents in the UK, here's a picture of her from 2020 campaigning for the complete opposite.

They're really just saying the quiet bit out loud now

Runcorn result may start bitter debate within Labour Henry Zeffman Chief political correspondent "On every door it was the same story — winter fuel and PIP." Those were the words of one disconsolate Labour campaigner I just spoke to as they emerged from the Runcorn and Helsby count. This is undoubtedly a great result for Reform UK which suggests their polling surge is real, and then some. It also may prove the start of a bitter debate within Labour about some of the most controversial decisions the Starmer government has made in its first 10 months.

make people’s lives worse, lose seats

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.

Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.

Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

These local election results should kick Labour to be much bolder, much quicker, and tack away from Reform's agenda or risk much worse results in years to come incl GE2029

Why are thousands of doctors in the UK facing unemployment? We explore the training crisis affecting doctors in the UK

I wrote about another unacceptable farce - the inability of highly qualified doctors to enter training here, if you're interested 👇

New NHS doctors only being told job location with weeks to spare - BBC News Health bosses are accused of keeping resident doctors in the dark about their first position.

Time to call out that this distressing farce has been completely normalised.

So-called 'placeholder' jobs which are part and parcel of this process every year now, are completely unacceptable to hard-working individuals who deserve much better.

Factcheck: Kemi Badenoch’s claim that net zero is ‘impossible’ by 2050 Tory leader provides no evidence to support position that flies in face of expert reports and her own words

Good article that completely dismantles Kemi Badenoch's claim

A return to austerity is literally the opposite of what we should be doing

This is a new level of madness. I don't know how it can be stopped
