Bobbie Farsides @farsidesb.bsky.social · 22/01/2026It is my firm belief that both Thameslink and Gatwick Express are benefitting from the fact that so many of their passengers have abandoned X and have therefore lost a platform for visible complaints 100

Bobbie Farsides @farsidesb.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I listened to the whole debate today and was struck by the mutual respect shown, the avoidance of irrelevant politicking (with the notable exception of Robert Jenrick) & the willingness of parliamentarians to take on the heavy responsibility asked of them.
