Thank you for your support.

@genevachendov @dieworkwear Americans didn't complain about Churchill wartime attire or when he was naked.

@andrew_lilico My 2 year old son decided that anyone who spoke English fluently was English to the amusement of Irish, Scottish, and American friends. His definition is very consistent as he declared England to be where the English live. We live in north-central England.

@Msamalam @edwest Look at ÖBB Nightjet. Tickets are affordable (family of 4 €130 in peak Easter holidays). The company makes a profit with no subsidy. It's expanding routes.

[Edward Sanders @Eddie_Sanders]

@dahontr3 @wynne_jon @edwest This is our experience entirely. Nightjet can be very affordable if booked ahead. Modern carriages are very comfortable

[Edward Sanders @Eddie_Sanders]

@wynne_jon @edwest Our family of 4 regularly goes from Amsterdam to Innsbruck, in a private couchette, for around €130 (not term time). The expensive part is exiting the UK, which this capacity expansion seeks to fix.

[Ed West @edwest]

Direct London-Bordeaux and sleeper trains to Italy and Spain would be the dream. What a way to start the holidays

Bigger St Pancras! Let’s go!

[Edward Sanders @Eddie_Sanders]

@DavidFrankal @jonburkeUK He's overly pessimistic given Italy/France are completing TAV which increases capacity going from Lyon to Turin. London->Lyon is then easily extended to Italy with or without a change.

[Jon Burke 🌍 @jonburkeUK]

St Pancras Station is planning to triple passenger numbers and open up new cross-Channel routes to France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

The plans feature an enhanced departure area accommodating 5,000 passengers an hour, from the current 1,800.

Europe is so back, baby.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend.

I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Here are some genuine fake news that the Whitehouse now spouts: 1. We have given over double what Europe has to Ukraine. ❌ In fact Europe has given more. 1/3

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I just had a long conversation with President of France @EmmanuelMacron following his meeting today with other European leaders to discuss the global situation, the state of affairs in Europe, and security guarantees for Ukraine.

We share a common vision: security guarantees must be robust and reliable. Any other decision without such guarantees—such as a fragile ceasefire—would only serve as another deception by Russia and a prelude to a new Russian war against Ukraine or other European nations.

Emmanuel also briefed me on his talks with other leaders, not just European ones.

We agreed to stay in constant contact as major decisions are being made.

Ensuring a robust and lasting peace is a must. And that can only be achieved through strong security guarantees.

@seatsixtyone We go regularly from Veneto to UK. Have been tempted by this route. However, it is always far cheaper going via Innsbruck->Amsterdam.

[Edward Sanders @Eddie_Sanders]

@scubadoo_m @OctopusEnergy @g__j Really good to hear! Getting the same install from octopus/daikin next month. Was the 5 day installation process very disruptive? Which tariff are you using?

[Ed West @edwest]

Whatever else Starmer does, this could be his great legacy

[Simon Schama @simon_schama]

our very own Neville Chamberlain - with all the detestable shame that will cling forever to his history. Now where is our Churchill to speak out LOUD to this moment of moral squalor?

[Edward Sanders @Eddie_Sanders]

@SiOldridge The government should be investing in this:
