Brutal dismissal of a bloke with his achievements

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

BBC News all over Reform, reporting on what Farage had for breakfast, until something like this happens

"Do you still get paid in Roubles Ted?"

Quick guide to Tomahawk cruise missile variants

TLAM - land attack

TSAM - anti-ship

TACTOM - improved “tactical” version

TACO - version talked about but never delivered to Ukraine

Must admit Iva given up on it for Football and stick to the FMTTM site. It’s just not getting that traction despite a couple of loyalists

No-one is surprised, Matthew. Absolutely no-one.

The govt should find 100 small things that piss people off & fix em, such as…

Ta to Politico for the vid, at its Labour fringe event, I explained that as big changes take time, govts should also have a team focused on small winnable change.

What little fixes'd you want?

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

A whole train?

Labourites seem to have gone from "ha ha hypnotits" to "oh fuck Polanski will make Farage PM, is that what you want???" very quickly.

But lads, if you want people's votes, win them. You're the government ffs.

Good bench that. Delighted for Lenihan

Couldn’t agree more. What is the information they are trying to communicate (apart from the subtext to Soton ref Azaz).

If it’s the line up why does the sponsor appear more dominant than the player names, I just don’t get how they signed that off - maybe extra sponsor cash?

He did use the word invaders for the first time I can recall - a senior moment or did he genuinely forget he is an active Ruzzian asset?

You’ve not lived till you press the -4 button to get to the Zedwell reception on Tottenham Court Road. On floor -5 if you shout you can probably have a conversation with the tube drivers

Windows, pah.

Ok, for each retweet I’ll provide one insight, fact, or opinion on unconventional naval warfare, like submarines, explosive boats, special forces or crazy ideas

Damage is done but Kudos for eventually doing the correct thing

It’s every single utterance all day every day forever. It’s unbearable and really damaging.

Possibly the worst scam text I’ve received, or is because I’m sad and saw the wrong financial year before I saw the crap email address.

Plus are they aware of the current Labour Party policies

Get done by this one and you deserve it

Compare and contrast the plutocratic US government's grotesque help for the richest... with social democratic Britain. Like night and day.

Underwhelming

Donkeys, you missed Donkeys!

Labour overturned a 4,500 SNP majority in Hamilton and the BBC spun this as somehow a victory for Reform.

The BBC News department is not fit for public service.

It is tho

I’m old fashioned enough to think the BBC should be leading on what the deal is and what it means. Rather than the political claims from both sides.

In short, Starmer has taken a massive hit among Labour voters, for no gain elsewhere, while boosting Farage's popularity, including doubling his ceiling among Labour voters.

I.e., the political scientists were right, Morgan McSweeney was horrendously wrong.

Monitor Transnistria and Belarus to release UKR forces for the East for when it inevitably gets broken?

Opinion prices are a growing cancer in all western media bypassing actual reporting on all subjects
