Today at 17:15, colleagues across EMR and the wider rail industry observed a minute’s silence, marking one week since the tragic incident at Bedford South.
We are deeply sorry that this has happened on our railway. Our thoughts continue to be with everyone affected, including those directly involved in the incident, their families, friends and colleagues.
Just a reminder that Reform UK-led Derbyshire Council has officially scrapped its core net zero climate targets and dismantled its dedicated climate change committee.
I’m sure @CllrAlanG will explain all this tomorrow. Expect weasel words.
As Southern England swelters under record June temperatures
& you cannot sleep tonight
Just be consoled that Reform’s Farage and the Tory’s Badenoch attended a conference - paid for by fossil fuel companies - to discuss that Global Warming is a hoax
They are dangerous
Apparently one of the things that inflates Farage’s close protection costs is that he has to pay them a lifelong “embarrassment and reputational damage compensation package.” £5milion and apparently he’s spending it on looking 👀….er..like a flight risk.
No getting away from this Nigel @Nigel_Farage, everyone cares about your £5million bung, why you got it, and what you are doing with it. It isn’t coincidence that you are lobbying the Bank of England is it?
Busted lad, busted
Farage must resign now
If hypocrisy was a person, it would be Robert Jenrick.
He campaigned and won his seat on the Tory manifesto.
Lost the leadership race.
Immediately defected to Reform.
Now sits on TalkTV openly slagging off the exact same manifesto that got him elected, while still refusing to give his constituents a by-election.
“I want a general election!” he demands, from the safety of the seat he won as a Tory and then sold out.
Mary asked the right question. The answer is obvious:
you’re a shameless, self-serving fraud with the principles of a sewer rat and the spine of a chocolate teapot.
Jo Cox was assassinated on our streets by a white supremacist terrorist radicalised by the toxic hate he heard daily.
Today Kemi badenoch brazenly called her fellow MPs “traitors” in Parliament, forcing the Speaker to call her to order for this disgrace.
This is reckless. This is classless. This is utterly mannerless. Utterly disgusting inflammatory garbage
Ladies and gentlemen I give you Nigel Farage - the only person in the UK to have benefited from Brexit - er in his case to the tune of £5million. Since 2020 the rest of you are £11,400 worse off than you would have been had we stayed in (based on OBR figs)
💙 Clash Of Hearts gets off the mark at @ponteraces, landing the £25,000 #TattsOctober Book 1 Bonus for Andy Finneran & Partners.
The 120,000gns purchase was secured by Dan Astbury and @adrian_keatley from @HoStud.
Has Nigel Farage just made a big blunder in his cosy chat with GBNews’ political editor?
What about Boris Johnson Farage asks Christopher Hope ?
Johnson received a gift from the same donor ( Christopher Harborne) says Farage - at 56 seconds
Indeed he did
It’s on the record ( because Johnson declared it ) that the Office of Boris Johnson received £1m from Christopher Harborne
At the time ( 2022) it was the largest gift to an individual in British political history
But was it wise in view of Ben Habib’s claim ( that both Johnson and Farage received £1m from Harborne) to draw attention to Johnson’s openly declared gift?
So @christopherhope can you clear that up for us?Can Mr Farage confirm he did not receive a £1m gift from Harborne at the same time as Mr Johnson?
And can he also confirm that he has received no other million pound gifts?
Because as you will have noticed Zia Yusuf refused to answer that question when asked by Matt Chorley …. Which creates what may be unnecessary suspicion…..good idea to clear things up 👍
