@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James, if you want to know whether brexiters were ignorant or cynical, don't look at what they said or how they sounded, look at what they did with their money x

I think he is doing that, Helene but Farage in the UK, Le Pen on the cusp in France and a resurgent AfD in Germany do not help Burnham make that case. All of them seem to share one major weakness, though...

I only wish we'd asked ourselves that question properly! That's to say, with seriousness and honesty, rather than with the lazy, rhetorical sneer that was so often preferred.

My goodness, Tories are gullible. Austerity, Brexit, five Prime Ministers in 8 years, racism, corruption and Neolithic incompetence. I think Conservative voters are in a cult.

Thanks for putting this together, Jon. I'm a little sad that what I thought were concrete plans for extra cross border rail services were actually just corporate PR masquerading as news, but it's better to see how things really stand.

So I'm just going to throw this idea in here as I am a naïve layman and therefore cannot be ridiculed, but... You know how how Int'l trains used to run to Waterloo? Could that track be properly upgraded and then... we run trains to both Waterloo AND St. Pancras? *Runs for cover

I didn't know that. That's an insane charging price point! Is it possible for the charges to be reduced?

Having said that, I'm looking out of my window now and most of the 'cloud' I can see is actually airplane pollution. Anything that can increase int'l train capacity needs to be prioritised.

Getting on board any form of collective transport has always sucked! The main differentiator between Eurostar and air travel, I would argue, is the price - psychologically, it's probably easier to stomach a dismal boarding experience when your ticket only cost £40.

It's not the election I'm worried about; it's the narrative spin that would be given to Labour losing such a safe seat. Totally agree that hell would freeze over long before a right-wing candidate won in Camden:)

Indeed. Although it's slightly mind-blowing to see a teacher grip up a student like that in a drama aimed at children! You forget how unremarkable that sort of thing used to be. Do you remember that episode when gripper Stebson so nearly got his comeuppance in the same toilet? Rotter!

Yes, really like the cut of his jib so far, but he's up against sinister people with deep pockets and they already have most of the media landscape tilted towards them. As a sign of which way London will go if Labour slide, though, it would be marvellous.

I'd rather Burnham maintained his momentum, for now. In the grand scheme of things, it's probably more important (imo).

The main way AI is going to kill people is by impoverishing them. And that, mainly, will be by bankrupting the governments that try to rescue the institutions who've driven this mother-of-all-bubble-markets.

She does it because a significant and growing number of British people are emotionally panicked enough for it to resonate with them. If this country does descend into authoritarianism, the establishment media will have paved the way, just as they tried to last time.

Innit! Where's that woman who ran for mayor of London on an explicitly anti-ULEZ ticket? I'd love to know what she thinks... Along with all the bedwetters in the Labour party who wanted Saddiq to rein it in. It's almost as though having a principle or two can give people a reason to trust you.

The things you write, Phil, I'm starting to wonder if we might actually be the same person, from slightly different dimensions that have melded together! Either that, or the algorithms on here have got it locked.

I'm starting to hope that the 'Makerfield test' might actually become the means by which this government explains the benefits of EU membership to ordinary people (strange as it seems, no British government has ever bothered to do this before).

I still lean towards doing both but river-cooled nuclear has a massive question mark over it. If the river Danube can effectively run dry, any river can and we have no time left for mistakes.

So no tangible difference between Burnham and Starmer's policy on Europe. The Guardian article is just acrowd control to keep pro-Europe Labour voters in line.

Dear EU, have you ever considered showing a united front in the face if s common enemy? NB: the enemy here is NOT the migrants and if you still think it is, then the war is already lost. Dear Spain, why the hell do you still hold these territories? It's not 1578.
