@John_The_Fitter @christianwolmar We live in hope. Privatisation saw a huge increase in passenger numbers but the industry became very fragmented - not good for efficient working. The government has announced a plan to reintegrate the railway and form Great British Railways but this seems to have stalled.

@GemmaATweets If they had brought a tin of beans you would really have moaned about that. You don't know what donations they may have made behind the scenes.

@barryjbutler @kelvmackenzie Why commission it in the first place then?

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@db_webb @kelvmackenzie But it is a story it's more woke shite. https://t.co/aiFAigibVy

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@PhilipR29276453 @kelvmackenzie He refers to Times reports isn't that sufficient for you? https://t.co/aiFAigibVy

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@Towherenow @kelvmackenzie I doubt that. They're bowing to current fads.

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@Al_roar @kelvmackenzie 'Public feeling' is not the same as potential demand. They are scared to publish it because of the current woke tidal wave.

@John_The_Fitter @christianwolmar Neither party has served our railways well: Harold Wilson continued with the Beeching cuts and both promoted HS2. Labour won't tackle the unions who seem determined to wreck the railway.

Sins of Our Fathers.

Here's my stance.

Our great country has been the greatest gift this world has ever received.

Railways, engineering, medicines, internet I could go on and on.

We need to stop apologising and start praising our history 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thoughts with David Holden, his family & friends today as he faces sentencing as part of the repulsive witch hunt against our veterans, waged relentlessly by PSNI & PPS to appease republicans who benefit from an amnesty for their terrorism.

@sean_uk @kelvmackenzie @GBNEWS Whatever you say about it Sean McGrath, GB News is hardly a flop and it's generally not boring, apart from the ads (especially the self promotion ones - worse on the radio).

@dave43law @johnredwood Labour pushed thus too when they were in power. Pointless to keep griping now construction is well under way.

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@johnredwood Surely it's pointless to make a statement like this now that construction of HS2 is well under way - and there was all party agreement that it was needed. If the plug's pulled now there'll be a chain of white elephants up and down the route.

@theRCN Strikes don't protect patients. Negotiation is the only way. Clearly pay needs to be higher to encourage new recruits and ease the pressure but strikes - no way.

[Conservative Post 🇬🇧 @ConsPost]

Labour certainly seem to have a lot to say about Rishi not wearing his seatbelt. But... people in glass houses?

#NeverLabour #Seatbelt #WearYourSeatBelt

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@ClareMBunting @dancingonice Yes spoilt by the ads and the intrusive gormless caterwauling - who let that mob in?!

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@Telegraph They really have lost the plot. OK it's southern California so wackiness expected but it'll spread.

[Ian Martin Smith @Megasmith50]

@TheRealJamieKay No, seems there are many of us! I can't bear it to be on my screen for any longer then it takes to change channels.

@MartinS195656 @Nevererdofher @wesstreeting As a full-time and unpaid carer I find all this quite sickening. My dear wife, who I'm carer to, finds it absolutely frightening.
