[Phil Barton @PhilBartonKBT]

[Phil Barton @PhilBartonKBT]

To all my friends and followers, I would like to let you know I will be leaving Twitter in favour of BlueSky on the day Donald Trump is inaugurated. The ramblings and hallucinations of Elon Musk are unpleasant, ignorant and dangerous & unavoidable on X. I'll still be PhilBxyz

Winter Solstice blessings to one and all in this divided World as the darkness now begins to turn back towards the light...

Chaos at Euston again and across the railways this weekend.

Sorting this mess out needs to be a top-level priority for the Government in 2025 - starting on day one in the New Year.

People are truly fed up with it and it is damaging the economy.

Correct. They are all monopolies, they cannot be allowed to fail and their shareholders are only interested in profit and not quality of service ore fairness of delivery.

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

Every single Thatcher and Major era privatisation, from steel and water to railways, has been an abject failure. Tell me I'm wrong.

[Phil Barton @PhilBartonKBT]

I do. And would be devastated to loose either paper which is delivered every day.

[Nick Stewart @nickstew_art]

@implausibleblog @carolecadwalla Can someone explain to me why such a business must continue with an actual newspaper and not go completely digital? Who buys papers and why in 2024?

[Guardian NUJ @gonuj93]

Why are we striking?
GMG says the sale is “necessary”. But the Observer is a successful part of the Guardian family

The deal has been rushed through in secret, without considering other bids

Our owners have a £1.3bn fund & a duty to protect liberal journalism - why not invest?

To prevent flooding in our communities, we must start in the uplands.

Replanting woodlands and restoring peat bogs helps store more water in the landscape, reducing the risk downstream.

We can keep building higher flood walls, but working with nature is far more effective.
