Looks like selling Royal Mail to a Czech billionaire worked out every bit as well as selling our water system to an Australian investment bank and our steel industry to an Indian multinational

20,000 public sector jobs cannot be barbarically cut. We can improve our public services but only if workers' voices are at the heart of any change. Today we launch the Workers' Inquiry to ensure just that. @RozFoyer/@Dennynews/@Daily_Record dailyrecord.co.uk/news/polit…

If you’ve spent five minutes on social media lately, you’ve probably seen Reform UK voters unironically calling themselves the "People’s Army" or "The Real Resistance." It’s a beautiful narrative. Truly inspiring. There’s just one tiny, hilarious problem.

Once again something we should be immensely proud of is under attack. Of all the things I’ve done in my life 5 years as a launcher and Land Rover driver with the RNLI is the thing of which I’m most proud. What a sad bloody country we have become #rnli #volunteer #proud

As we enter the last year of this privatised mess, I remembered this gem from BR from 1988 Around 5 years after it was shot, the BR would have its heart literally ripped out of it The video has an 'end of a golden era' vibe about it. When we used to be proud of our railway!
