@Keir_Starmer Starmer do something about it then if you have an ounce of decency. You are ruining this once great country by your total lack of action with regards to illegal immigration.
@dshensmith Why are Restore allowing Liebour in via the back door?.
They should not be standing against Reform. Ridiculous situation should be resolved quickly for the benefit of the country.
@RestoreBritain_ I fully endorse Restore Britain's policies. I fear they will take votes away from Reform & allow the other parties to sneak into Parliament via the back door. It must be in the nation's interest for the two parties to resolve their differences & fight the election as one.
🐂 Armed Police Shoot Bull Dead
Police officers, working with British Transport Police and Network Rail, have been forced to ‘dispatch’ a bull that had escaped onto the railway near Selby this morning.
The decision was taken as a last resort to remove an immediate risk to the public and the rail network after all safe options to contain and move the animal were unsuccessful.
North Yorkshire police were first alerted at around 09.13 this morning (Wednesday 14 January 2026) to reports of a bull on the tracks between Brayton level crossing and Selby station. Train movements were initially cautioned and, as the situation developed, sections of the line were closed by Network Rail to protect passengers, rail staff and members of the public.
Specialist police officers attended alongside livestock handlers. A drone was deployed to assist with locating and monitoring the animal. Despite sustained efforts, the bull could not be safely contained or directed away from the live railway.
Given the continuing danger posed by the animal’s proximity to moving trains and critical rail infrastructure, firearms officers humanely dispatched the bull a short time ago.
There are no reports of injuries to members of the public or officers. Some rail services were disrupted while the incident was managed and the scene made safe.
Inspector Rob Campbell, Neighbourhood Policing, Selby, said: “This was an exceptionally complex situation and we understand the concern it may cause.
“Our duty is to protect life and keep people safe. Together with BTP, Network Rail and livestock handlers, we tried to contain and move the animal away from danger.
“Unfortunately, the bull continued to pose a serious and immediate risk on the railway. “As a last resort, and with the appropriate legal authority in place, specialist officers humanely dispatched the animal to prevent any wider risk to the public. We’re grateful to passengers and local residents for their patience during the disruption.”
Why tranquillisation wasn’t used?
Members of the public often ask why tranquilliser darts aren’t used. In this case tranquillisation was not a safe or practical option because:
It is not instant; sedatives can take several minutes or longer to take effect in a full grown bull. In that time a stressed animal can still run unpredictably, endangering people and trains.
It requires a specialist vet, precise weight based dosing, and a controlled environment conditions that were not available trackside.
A darted animal may bolt in panic or collapse onto live lines, creating greater danger.
Public information:
Rail passengers should check with their train operator or National Rail Enquiries for the latest service updates.
Local residents may see an ongoing presence as the scene is cleared and partners complete safety checks. https://t.co/ujJWDLZcKn
@Keir_Starmer Starmer. You are a clueless liar. Keep digging the hole you will soon fall into.
The British people wanted you to explain, in your speech, what you are actually going to do about illegal immigration, the economy, law & order the NHS etc.
All you managed to do is incite dissent.
@Hudsonweather The fact that the level of water in the reservoirs has risen by only 0.2% just shows how inefficient YW is in managing our water resources, considering that we are an island surrounded by water & the amount of rain we have seen recently.
