@Stagecoach_Ox Where is the 1115 S3 from South Parade? Disappeared from tracking.

[Michael Fraser 🧡 @drmikefraser]

@Stagecoach_Ox Go on. Surprise me. Where is the 2110 S3 from Oxford? Nothing on the display screen. Nothing in the app. Nothing on your X feed. Hopeless #fail.

[Michael Fraser 🧡 @drmikefraser]

@GeorgeHogg93 @Stagecoach_Ox I would just like to see the S3 run to schedule. Even that low expectation cannot be met by @Stagecoach_Ox.

[Michael Fraser 🧡 @drmikefraser]

@Stagecoach_Ox Why is the 1410 S3 been "1 min" away from ROQ for last 25mins?

[Michael Fraser 🧡 @drmikefraser]

@Stagecoach_Ox Hopeless

@SJFOxford I suggest you cease using X. This is increasingly a safeguarding issue.

@OxfordCity I suggest you stop using X. This is increasingly a safeguarding issue.

Rishi's next job could be in AI.

(He likely does know this now.)

"President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. No getting back Crimea, and no going into Nato by Ukraine”, said Putin's spokesperson.

[Michael Fraser 🧡 @drmikefraser]

"We are clear that Ukraine must have ironclad security guarantees to effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity... Russia cannot have a veto against Ukraine‘s pathway to EU and NATO."

The Prime Minister hosted President Zelenskyy 🌻🇺🇦

They looked ahead to tomorrow’s talks between President Trump & President Putin in Alaska, which present a viable chance to make progress as long as Putin takes action to prove he is serious about peace."

"The path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine. We remain committed to the principle that international borders must not be changed by force. The current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations."

Today marks 52 years since a fire killed 50 people and injured many more inside the Isle of Man's esteemed leisure complex.

Summerland opened in May 1971, but two years later on 2nd August 1973, the leisure complex became the island's greatest disaster.

Statement
"We are determined to protect the viability of the two-state solution, and so we will recognise the state of Palestine in September before UNGA;
unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza..."

Sociology of Starvation

“This is not about a formal famine declaration or a special number of trucks or meals. It’s about Israel’s attempt to starve Gaza indefinitely without the rapid mass death from starvation and disease we call famine."

Another case of @ukhomeoffice cruelty.

Refusal to exempt (or defer) students in Gaza who have a place at a UK university from having to register biometric data as a prerequisite for a visa is wholly disproportionate given their particular circumstances.
