I do hope that we can now get a BBC which doesn't incessantly pander to the right wing.

Whatever else comes out once the attack on the ECML train last night, this alone is a credit to the train crew, driver, and signalling team.
Huntingdon was the first possible stop. In a highly stressful situation and improvising a plan the train lost just 3 minutes vs line speed to get there.

I was beginning to wonder if we would ever get a new Archbishop of Canterbury. The void was becoming very obvious.

I've just got a new auxiliary heater in one of the bedrooms, and apparently I need an app to work it. I'm not a technophobe but why do I need an app to operate a heater? What's wrong with a switch like the old one?

My neighbour has just been round to ask if we mind her flying the Union Flag. Of course we don't; she's been flying it for years as an army widow. Now she feels she has to apologise because the far right politicised it. Shame on them.

My issue with the performative smothering of union flags and st george's crosses everywhere isn't about the flags. It's that it's not very British. We've never been ones to carpet the place with our flag. We're not Americans. It's this lack of respect for our country's traditions that annoys me.

In a women's toilet at a busy motorway service station and I find a man in a hi-vis vest standing in the middle directing people to empty cubicles. Brilliant. More of this please!

Sad to say I've cancelled my subscription to @thenewworldmag.bsky.social. I signed up to the New European and enjoyed it for 9 years but am very disappointed with the new format. It was the European focus I was interested in.

Kind of appalling - what's been happening behind the scenes in Parliament with rival amendments to decriminalise abortion. 🧵
Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion.

Disagree. This is about cap ex in places that specifically haven’t had the same degree of cap ex because cap ex breeds cap ex. It’s not a politically London issue, it’s a policy London issue. You can debate it, but that’s what it is

In Northumberland reopening a closed rail line has seen passenger numbers 5x times those predicted, with only half the stations yet open. The benefits of new public transport are often understated in business cases. Public transport loses out to road plans where a weak economic case seems no barrier
