The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph." "It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds,

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC

Good question, Junior!

So current polling has the Greens ahead by one point and Starmer losing his seat at the next election.

When do we start talking about Labour standing down to avoid splitting the left vote?

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

The Green Party's proposal for a wealth tax on 1% of assets above £10m and 2% on assets above £1bn comes top of our list of tax reforms that Britons would support, with 75% giving it their backing

Thats the effect the Politics of Hope can have.

LET'S KEEP GOING, LET'S KEEP GROWING.

Possibly unpopular opinion - Farage’s ‘listen love’ moment should have been a much bigger deal, if not career ending. Especially as he’s spent all summer lecturing us about cultures which have a ‘medieval attitude towards women’.

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

Given Lam's appalling comments, the UK government needs to make it free for those with permanent leave to remain to obtain British citizenship, to promote people making the change, and to make it quicker.

They need to do that to remove understandable anxiety.

Every new law should have the word "Experiment" added to the name. It must include a desired outcome and a metric for how to evaluate its effectiveness at a specific time in the future. If that time comes and the law is deemed ineffective, it is automatically repealed.

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Extraordinary. The Greens are ahead of Labour in polls. Without @zackpolanski.bsky.social being given hours of airtime per week on a propaganda channel. Without the Daily Mail repeatedly calling for him to be the next PM. Without backing from the world’s richest men & the platforms they own….

🚨SHOCKING FACT: Did you know there are 377 Marine Protected Areas in UK waters?

And the UK government allows industrial fishing in 374 of them.

Was about to point to this as evidence of Wes Streeting's failure - but then realized his private healthcare investors would regard it as evidence of his success.

‘Prince Andrew believed having sex with me was his birthright’: Virginia Giuffre on her abuse at the hands of Epstein, Maxwell and the king’s brother In an extract from her posthumous memoir, Virginia Roberts Giuffre remembers the day an ‘apex predator’ recruited her from Mar-a-Lago, aged just 16; how she was trafficked to a succession of wealthy a...

"Epstein... walked around his desk, picked up a grainy photograph, and handed it to me. The image had been taken from some distance, but it was unmistakably my little brother. I felt a stab of fear.

“We know where your brother goes to school,” Epstein said."

This man was a monster. I feel sick.

That £900k house in Frinton. Has anyone mentioned how it was paid for yet? Any laws broken, or all above board?

Anyone investigating? Media grown a conscience? Any journalist working for the British people? Anyone?

Half way through another week of silence then.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Absolute silence is 0db. It's also the sound of Chris Mason's laptop when there's a negative story about Reform that could be written.
Nothing at all on BBC News website about the trashing of Reform's major economic policy.
