Heard a clearly emotional @mrjamesob.bsky.social make his announcement on @lbc.co.uk. It is about time and I’m sure every right minded person will be hoping the CPS have the courage to follow through on prosecuting those responsible for the tragic and unnecessary deaths.

Euston, we have a problem.
HS2 will cost more than Nasa's Artemis Moon mission

UK's stripped back high-speed link set to become the most expensive rail line in the world., with further delays and higher costs expected when new timetable is announced today

»New cost estimates for beleaguered 140-mile rail line likely to reach around £100bn - more than Nasa's £79bn projected cost for its Artemis mission to land astronauts on the Moon

» Transport Secretary expected to announce cost-saving measures such as slower speeds, and the completion date will likely be pushed back, with trains running to Birmingham by 2035

Hilariously by the time it opens in 2039 HS2 will be... The most expensive high speed railway in the world. The slowest high speed railway in the world. The longest time to build railway in the world. And the shortest high speed railway in the world. One word, CORRUPTION.

The "MPs shouldn't drink and vote" debate is a bit of a red herring because so often there's no cognitive function involved in voting. Most MPs show up to the voting lobbies when the bells ring, are told by their whips which division lobby to go through, and it's job done. As long as they're able to walk in a straight line the booze is neither here nor there.

When billionaires and their stooges say that their priorities are "anti-woke", "anti-cancel culture" and "unrestricted free speech", don't take their claims at face value. They're a coded way of saying, “I should be allowed to do whatever I want, regardless of the impacts on other people.”

Interesting reference just now to "the left-leaning Daily Mirror" on the Today Programme. I hope this practice is going to become routine, & that we'll be reminded of the political affiliations of The Daily Telegraph, The Mail, The Sun, The Express & The Times. It would actually be quite healthy.

Do you understand how stupid you have to be to defend attacks on Jews because of Netanyahu’s foreign policy? Or because you don’t like Israel? Attacking Jews just living their lives will not free Palestine, it will not end the war in Iran or Lebanon - it simply is just attacking Jews you FREAKS

Same in the UK - we're looking increasingly at a Farage government because Labour aren't looking at electoral reform and media regulation as deeply as they should. Because they're puppeteered by different billionaires, and know they'd lose to the Green under a just system.

The High Court has ruled this proscription is unlawful. Given the number of crimes the Met's currently choosing not to pursue, arresting more peaceful protestors seems a genuinely bizarre choice, unless and until that ruling is successfully appealed.
