It was so worrying to hear the stories people told about the impact of the bus route changes on their lives.

Bus routes are not just administrative lines on a map they stitch communities together and enable older and disabled people to remain independent, while closely connected with neighbours.

The lurching horror of our national immigration narrative is on full display today. Even two years ago, I believe almost all media would have framed the victims of the Afghan leak as allies to whom we have a duty of care. In the Mail today, they are ‘migrants’ being ‘smuggled’ in to the country.

Caroline looking a bit over heated on a bus wearing dark glasses and a blue shirt.

Sweltering on a rail replacement bus from Leytonstone to Wanstead (on my way to hear from people about local bus services).

Only, hope that the driver’s cab is a bit cooler than the passenger space. I can’t imagine what it’s like trying to drive a bus in this heat.

The disgraceful actions of the government and a so-called Labour council, is essentially #FireAndRehire and makes a joke of the Employment Relations Act promises.

People up and down the country are asking whose side is the Labour government on and coming up with the answer not workers.

Reform's membership 'falls by almost 10,000 in a month' It seems like in the space of just a month or so, Reform have had a few reality checks after the party's membership dropped significantly.

Reform UK membership falls by almost 10,000 in a month.
