Usual crappy BBC reporting, trying to echo Reform talking points without being too obvious about it. Mentions the rubbish Trans-Pennine Express reliability without mentioning the disruption caused by the billions spent on track improvements since then. Amateurs. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Publicly owned rail is popular. But is it making the trains run on time?

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”

Job one for the UK Establishment is to smash the Greens and thus any possibility of the Overton Window moving left. They'll start wrecking any left wing stuff Burnham tries to do (if he even wants to). I suspect they're hoping the looming financial crisis will do a lot of that work for them.

30 drivers a week ignore roadworks and drive in coned off areas, putting lives at risk. On the M1 motorway in Hertfordshire, repeated incursions led to it being closed completely to keep workers safe, creating a 10-mile diversion. Still, why don't cyclists stop at red lights? 🙂‍↔️
