As if a 4 coach train on a route from Bournemouth to Manchester Piccadilly wasn't 4 coaches too short to start with for a Saturday morning peak, one of the 4 is First Class. Utterly bizarre lack of planning by @traincross_c. Hire some more coaches, FFS

Politics isn't working. It's time to call time on the broken culture in Westminster and have a fresh start with a fair voting system. Add your name to @electoralreform's call to #MakeSeatsMatchVotes action.electoral-reform.org.…
@SW_Help 3 coach trains on the Exeter main line into London???? What is wrong with you?
@SW_Help Tell you what. Let's make it even worse. 3 coach train to Exeter in the late evening peak, but let's also stop at Wimbledon, cos that's on. The sooner you jokers are off the trains the better...

Hunt claims he reduced the debt between 2010 and 2019 and yet it went up by well over half a trillion pounds in that period. Playing loose with statistics becomes no-one, least of all this Chancellor. #Budget2024

#Budget2024 - the facts:
"all services other than children’s social care could be performing worse in 2027/28 than on the eve of the pandemic, and in most cases services were performing worse on the eve of the pandemic than they were in 2010."

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.
As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.
I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:
1. Enough with Both-sides-ism
When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.
2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking
Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.
If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.
3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions
Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.
Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.
Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

After the nonsense in the @CitySamuel column claiming the Teesside report contradicted @PrivateEyeNews’ stories, @thetimes issues this correction. Perhaps those who plugged the column - eg @BenHouchen @SimonClarkeMP - will share it.

Right, lads and lasses. London's roads are in need of some TLC and we're not sure where to find the £s to give our streets the white-glove treatment. Any ideas?
We could trouser the train money we promised the poor people in the North, and keep it for ourselves?
Done! #HS2
