Picked this up for my commute. It feels like Mike Grell's Green Arrow and Dennis O'Neil's Question running through this. Also art reminiscent of Sienkiewicz. Fantastic, @gabrielhardman.bsky.social.

Cross Country trains back to service as usual. 50 minutes late. Seriously, Cross Country, when you give the contract back in 2027- there will be parties in the street. Parties that people will be able to get to on time by train.

“It’s not going to improve people’s lives here is it?!” I dunno man I’ve been watched children get murdered for three years straight now, it probably would improve our mental wellbeing if we stopped running cover for the murderers and maybe tried to do something about it

I've been patiently waiting for over a decade for right wingers to join the dots between "how do we stop the boats?" and "should we assist/enable/fund wars in the Middle East?" Our foreign policy, arms industry, allowing use of our intel and our RAF bases is creating refugees every day.

Found out that Derbyshire Live is now paywalling articles. When National newspapers do this, fine. Go ahead. But local and regional news? No. That's just a poor show.

"Gangs have no respect for human life" says govt, who refuse to process in Calais, & have made it impossible for refugees to use the shortest, least lethal route, which is why refugee babies are now forced to spend THIRTY HOURS in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. @andyburnham.bsky.social

I don't know who was listening, but to be countered on LBC after staying that increased use of Parental Orders will be another battlefront in the 'war on welfare' by a presenter who says 'we need a war on welfare, the welfare bill is ballooning' is utterly beguiling.

16 hours later absolutely nothing has happened that contradicts this. This is the only statement the UK government have put out in response to fash filth trying to drown refugees and rescue workers:
A government spokesperson said: “The Border Security Command works around the clock to protect our border and will continue to detain, check and process every small boat arrival.”
