You need to bring @CrossCountryUK into public ownership pronto. Absolute shambles today between Bristol and Plymouth. And, you won't have an efficient public railway system without bringing the ROSCOs into public ownership. @Heidi_Labour

Open Access Crisis: Great British Railways and East Coast Main Line under threat. Network Rail warns of December timetable crisis, with billions of taxpayers' money under threat. But @railandroad is betraying the public and backing the private companies. abcommuters.com/2025/06/08/o…

Private healthcare is asking the govt to guarantee them public money and contracts for the long term. Madness! Take 1 min to send @We_ownit's letter to Wes Streeting now, demanding he reject that plan. weownit.org.uk/buildournhs

Germany: here's a Deutschland Ticket, you can use any train except for the ICE. Enjoy it. UK: Oh under normal circumstances yes this ticket would be valid BUT today is the first sunny Wednesday since two week after St Swithen's day. Prison for you, and we're killing your dog.

Perhaps this is what you get when you ditch the UK based Met Office and contract a US/Dutch consortium to provide forecast material. BBC News - BBCWeather fault forecasts hurricanes across world bbc.com/news/articles/c0kjrp…

Latest Express poll needs more input. You know what to do. (Link takes you directly to the poll. It bypasses the Express website, so you won't boost their ad impressions. Ignore the request to enter an email address - it's optional.) xd.wayin.com/display/contain…

One part of German I've struggled with is whether to address people with Sie or Du. Germans have internalised it to such an extent they're awful at explaining when to use them. Luckily, I found this, but how simple can grammar be when it needs a flowchart to explain?
