Wondering 🤔 💭 🤔 Would TFL consider putting on more Elizabeth Line trains 🚆 in peak times? The morning rush hour/s combined with a lot of heathrow passengers isn't a great combination or making travel easy.

“Charity can take care of it” is a common refrain I’m hearing in response to US government funding being cut across the board.
No. No, it can’t.

Minister of State for Development, Anneliese Dodds, has resigned in response to the UK Gov slashing international aid to historic lows.
As conflict, climate change, and poverty are devastating lives, these cuts put the world’s most vulnerable at even greater risk. #AidCuts

Yes, when it's fully working... but the number of delays, issues, faults, signal failures and much more has in some cases meant it's got the name liability line
I got to ride the Elizabeth Line last year. No hype: it's an amazing addition to London's transport network.

Absolutely gutted at this silly decision. Spending more on defence makes sense as the world gets less predictable and the US less reliable.
But cutting the aid budget is bonkers. It's needed now more than ever, and Labour's manifesto promised to increase it www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4...

This is a deeply misguided decision by the government. Instead of cutting budgets that support the most vulnerable, we should be exploring more just and effective ways to raise revenue—such as taxing wealth. A fairer economy is possible find out more justmoney.org.uk/untax/

I've done quite a bit of thinking about social media over the last year. It's been prompted by world events, an almost complete collapse of their usefulness to me, personally and professionally, and by the change I've seen in others. I have friends who I know as intelligent and compassionate people, but whose online presence now seems paranoid, unhappy and hateful.

Just had the most inspiring Zoom call with Archbishop Dr Jackson ole Sapit of Kenya - he tells me that the Anglican Church of Kenya has planted 8 million trees in the last 3 years to mark baptisms, confirmations, birthdays, ordinations, weddings and funerals. Incredible achievement.
