#ICCWomensWorldCup2025 I've thoroughly enjoyed this tournament. Wonderful cricket. Congratulations to India.

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

Newsom: I cannot wait for all the punditry. Historic victories all across the United States of America. Proposition 50 winning by double digits. A new governor of New Jersey, a new governor in Virginia.

I’ll end as I began: thank you for giving a damn.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Watching Laura Kuennsberg licking Zia Yusuf's clinkers is quite unedifying.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Enough is enough.

After months of Donald Trump playing around with the California National Guard as if they're his toy soldiers, we're asking the courts to finally return all service members back to California's command.

Let's get them back to the real work they signed up for.

Oakeshott used to live in this street in Charlbury in the Cotswolds.

You couldn't get a more genteel place – a very long way from immigration or deprivation or anything else she'd object to.

BREAKING Chancellor estate ages apologises for oversight on Reeves' rental agreement Harvey Wheeler, the London estate agents used by Rachel Reeves to rent out her property in south London, have apologised to her for an "oversight" The firm says they did not apply for a licence on her behalf, having offered to do SO. We will bring you the full statement in a moment.

Okay this puts her in the clear. I'm glad that one of these ends in a clearing rather than further details making things worse as is usually the case.

We can move on now!

Well that looks like an excellent reason to turn my television off

An alleged patriot writes.

Labour’s scandals are so pathetically small. A few thousand quid, or a couple of Taylor Swift tickets. They need to up their game to millions on PPE.

Apparently Rachel Reeves didn't have the proper licence to let out her family home in Southwark. Can anybody refer me to any Tweets where Badenoch, Stride or any other Tory called for Jeremy Hunt to resign after it emerged he hadn't declared 7 flats that he owned in Southampton.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It's easy for Danny Kruger to talk about massive cuts to the civil service, because he's an entitled prick who's never had a proper job and has zero idea what government workers actually do. Everything seems easy when you know fuck all.

Perhaps to find out if he can tell his head from his arse?

Thank you.

No. Not only that, but the Republicans and red states would lose a majority of the funding they rely on YEARLY to bail them out so they can continue existing. Yet all they can do is talk shit about California as if they don't owe their very lives to the place. 😂

If you took California's economy away, would the U.S. still have the World's largest economy?

Pert nipples!

Our in-your-face enemy is Russia, but the BBC continues to promote its main agent here as the PM-in-waiting. #r4today

We must not be intimidated by the Right. We must stand our ground and simply be honest

Labour are #FixingBritain

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?
