SWR & Network Rail's performance is unacceptable.
Every day: Broken signals, point failures, trains without enough carriages, air-con or working toilets. It's time for the Transport Secretary to step in.
This cannot become normalised. @SW_Help @Heidi_Labour

.@SW_Help if 0 is abysmal and 10 is perfect; where on a scale of 0-2 do you think you rate?
Hi @SW_Help there seems to be a new trend where you advertise a train, which is the made late by 'insert excuse here', the train is then sent straight to Waterloo, with half the passengers having to change at Surbiton. Why is this?

Because she lied, Dan.
Labour bang on about honesty and integrity, but they appoint a blatant bullshitter as Chancellor.
She's also economically illiterate, as we can see from her recent anti-growth, anti-business, disaster budget.

OUR POST OF STARMER IN MAY 2024 ATTACKING THE TORIES FOR CONSIDERING THE CANCELLING OF WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONERS HAS BEEN REMOVED.

I’ve just seen this. LSHTM Omicron modelling was staggeringly wrong - and yet a knighthood for Edmunds?
The honours system now seems to systematically reward failure and cronyism. – at Hounslow, London
Modelling expert & key COVID-19 adviser John Edmunds receives knighthood in recognition of his work during the pandemic.
He is among the LSHTM scientists recognised in #NYHonours for services to health & medicine.🔬😷

ALT John Edmunds quote, "Science is a team game. Ideally this award should go to the whole of the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases for their amazing work during the COVID-19 pandemic."

Surely after the biggest rise in duty for 50 years last August, UK government isn't planning yet another rise? Though in the current circs, a proposal to fly UK wine trade to the moon en masse is not unthinkable

This week we learned that No10 was told that this 4,000-dead graph was wrong *before* it was used to justify the second lockdown.
It was shown on live TV to an audience of 14m
In this week’s Spectator we look at the anatomy of an (ignored) scandal

Labour, the lefty party of love.
