This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of the railway and we're marking it by honouring GWR’s first ever locomotive driver.

We welcomed Swindon South MP @Heidi_Labour and Leader of Swindon Borough Council, @jimrobbins, to unveil a blue plaque honouring James Hurst, who drove the first Vulcan locomotive for GWR on 28 December 1837.

A lifelong railway pioneer, and this plaque marks the house he called home in the heart of Swindon’s historical Railway Village.

The Media won't acknowledge this video of the farmers blocking an ambulance with its blue lights on so could you could RT it so people see it?

@imbethmccoll It just feels like Oxford St. Once it was full of so much good stuff, but now it’s just riddled with trash

@dunmoreish How about a snack being held up in front of a big building with fun angles?

🚨 The UK’s racism problem in a nutshell.

When a black politician is asked her opinion on racist riots, she has to be aggressively cross examined, interrogated & mocked by a panel of four white people including the Home Secretary’s husband.

Run up the Ofcom complaints. That's the only thing these lot remotely pay any attention to.

So many women are with me right up to the point where I suggest that maybe their abusive ex isn’t mentally ill, he didn’t have NPD, he isn’t a ‘psychopath’ - maybe he’s a man living in a misogynistic, pornified society who uses and abuses women because he likes it and it’s celebrated.

Cos let’s face it, it’s a lot easier for women to label their exes and abusers as mentally disordered narcissistic psychopaths than it is to realise that we live in a world that supports and celebrates his vile attitudes, his behaviour towards women and his porn obsession.

It makes more sense to believe he’s a one-off, he’s evil, he’s disordered, he’s psycho - than to have to look at the world and think;

‘Well shit, there are millions of men like that dude and they are objectifying and abusing women left, right and centre. He’s no different.’

It’s a real shame that’s where they switch off, because that’s where the real work needs to be done. If we reframe every abusive ex as mentally ill, they get to use that too - and they get to claim that they can’t help it, and they need help and support from the woman/others.

The amount of women who have been abused for years who then say ‘but it wasn’t his fault, he’s got bipolar, he’s got PD, and everyone around me kept saying I needed to support him and not push his buttons and be more understanding’

HELL NO.

Your ex was abusive because:

1. He enjoyed it
2. He wanted to
3. He got something personal out of it
4. There are no societal or personal consequences to his behaviour

That’s it.

As a cancer specialist, I find this level of journalism absolutely appalling. It’s hard to know where to begin, when the lack of understanding of how cancer might affect people is this poor. I’m more than happy to speak to @AllisonPearson to explain why this is so bad

This poor girl 😢 I’m so exhausted having to see it and experience it, but just as exhausted with the lack of prosecutions for men who do this.

Save 61016 to your phone to quickly report it and if you’re in a position to, note the train time and carriage number if you can 📱

[jane Gray @JaneWardenGray]

My daughter was today on a train going to her self defence class, a man got in the virtually empty carriage and sat directly opposite her and stared at her, when she didn’t give him attention he moved and sat right next to her, where he proceeded to put his head right next to her

Today we mark one year since we became a @WhiteRibbon_UK accredited organisation, committed to preventing violence against women and girls.

@womensaid's #RailtoRefuge, @BTP's Guardian App, and more than 90 GWR colleagues signing up to become White Ribbon ambassadors are just some of the ways we've worked within the rail industry to keep our communities safe for women.
