Since 2016, over 20 million bus miles have been cut in London, yet it remains the most popular and affordable way of getting around the city. But if you live in outer London the level of service is far worse - with serious social and economic impact. This is unfair!
As someone who used to think class or sex diversity was important, I'm telling you: I'd be perfectly happy if the entirety if the next Parliament was Old Etonians with an average age of 80 if they could actually run the country.
Plenty of meetings in Washington over the next few days - our American friends are watching Britain with genuine astonishment at how fast we are falling.
I am making the argument that it’s not too late to turn it around. Just.
What you are seeing with the constant attacks on Nigel Farage is what happened to Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, & Georgescu in Romania. A coordinated attempt by establishment forces to try and shut down the only successful opposition to their agenda. It is that simple.
@Telegraph African criminal, who shouldn't be here in the first place, is able to disable two police officers, smack one of them over the head and ride away on a bike.
This country is an absolute joke.
And remember boys and girls: if you happen to be in a riverside pub watching the football tonight, it’s important that you’re really, really quiet as you leave at 3am, otherwise it’ll disturb the neighbours and some of them have a direct hotline to the police.
Labour’s Deputy Leader has said that social media rules around elections must be tightened…
A ban on X is coming.
If they try it, Restore Britain will fight them in the courts, and hold the biggest protest London has ever seen.
Lucy Powell has branded X as ‘toxic'.
The same Lucy Powell who dismissed discussing the Pakistani rape gangs as “dog whistle”.
The same Lucy who initially sided with the thugs against the officers after the Manchester Airport incident.
Labour MPs like Lucy are toxic, not X.
Our Service Delivery Director, Jen Clare, is here to tell you about our exciting 10-car train today 🚆
The service was sold out, breaking a new record in reducing carbon emissions as the highest capacity domestic intercity train in the UK!
Customers on the 08:26 from Edinburgh Waverley to London King’s Cross and returning 14:15 service enjoyed Lumo’s award-winning customer service, generous legroom and recently refreshed seating.
The police now concede it wasn’t a ‘fight’ but an ‘assault’.
They are finally investigating the men they allowed to flee.
This wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the footage shared on this platform.
One of many such cases.
And to think Government ministers are boycotting the platform and trying to control what appears on people’s social media.
This was clearly a serious failure of policing. Why won’t the Home Secretary summon the Chief Constable to explain themselves and why they tried to cover it up?
It’s another egregious case of two-tier policing and it has gone unchallenged by this rotten government.
This nonsense will end under Nigel Farage and Zia Yusuf when Reform UK re-establishes equality before the law.
I wonder if any of the media will ask me about it this morning…
This is Labour MP, @Jas_Athwal, he has declared 18 properties, including 15 residential rentals and 3 commercial properties, making him the MP with the largest declared property portfolio in the House of Commons.
So where's the outrage?
Where are the endless headlines?
Where are the cries of "conflict of interest"?
If owning multiple properties is suddenly a political scandal, then surely the same standard should apply to everyone, regardless of party.
You can't spend weeks hounding @Nigel_Farage over his property portfolio while turning a blind eye to @UKLabour MPs with substantial property interests of their own.
One rule for them, another for everyone else.
Vote @reformparty_uk

A very pleasant day in Richmond. A picnic on the hill overlooking the Thames to celebrate my youngest daughter’s birthday and then to The Cricketer’s Pub by Richmond Green. My two daughters, son in law and my beautiful grand daughter. The correct way to spend a Friday. Cheers 🍻
I’ve always never been able to decide which is Britain’s most beautiful bit: North Devon or the Yorkshire Dales. But I’ve just spent the last three days in the Scottish Borders and now I have an answer. God almighty, they’re beautiful. Also, I bought some cows there.
I have a regular customer who is very senior within the NHS. She said that racism *is* massively on the rise, and it seems to be all she deals with now. But, she said, its not racism from white British people as the impression is given in these reports and surveys, its cross-ethnic racism.
There are fractions between different Asian groups that refuse to work with each other, or within African groups that bully each other, or the Asians won't work with the Africans, or abuse against the East Asians like Phillipino or Vietnamese. And then, of course, the British nurses that get abuse from non white ethnic groups, both patients and staff.

Someone called the police on a little boy in Hapeville, Georgia last week.
A neighbor had dialed 911 to report a kid going door to door in the neighborhood. Officer Colleran from the Hapeville Police Department was dispatched to handle the "disturbance."
When he arrived, he found a young boy, politely knocking on doors, hat in hand, asking if anyone needed their weeds pulled, their grass cut, or their hedges trimmed.
He wasn't begging. He wasn't causing trouble.
He was working.
Officer Colleran asked the boy what he was saving up for.
"A PlayStation 5, sir. But I don't want anyone to just give it to me. I want to earn it."
Let that sink in for a second. A child out in the summer heat, going door to door with a work ethic most adults would envy, because he wanted to earn what he wanted. Not ask for it. Not expect it. Earn it.
Officer Colleran, a gamer himself, knew exactly how much a PS5 meant to that kid. And he also knew something else, he was looking at a boy with more character than most people twice his age.
So he made some calls.
He reached out to a few friends, they pooled their money, and together they showed up with a brand new PlayStation 5 and a gift card for an online membership.
The boy who someone wanted removed from the neighborhood went home that day with more than a console.
He went home knowing that the right people are paying attention.
Being gay is not a political subscription.
I wanted equal rights, marriage, and a normal life.
Not lifetime membership in every activist project the woke left decides to attach to my identity.
As a gay man, I don’t want anything to do with a homophobic cult that wants to pump dangerous drugs into kids that grow up gay and claim that men can be “lesbians”.
The flags are revolting and have nothing to with gay men or lesbians.
