That’s the second taxi today where the driver didn’t wear his seatbelt FFS 😬 Maybe I should threaten to show them some Jimmy Savile PSAs from the 1980s. (Also ✅ 40mph in 30mph residential area 🤦‍♂️)

Vote Democratic Socialism, health care, social security, child care, education funding, gender and racial equality etc etc and etc.

Looks like Network Rail employed the same contractors to build the new reflecting puddle at London Paddington, as President Trump did to refurbish the reflecting pool in Washington DC.

No matter the size of the egg box (6, 12, 15), no matter how many eggs are left, I absolutely have to make them as central and symmetrical as I can before I put them away. I tell myself it's to get the centre of gravity right for next time I pick them up.

Data breaches and hacks becoming more frequent mean it's the worst possible time for governments to force their citizens to age verify by giving sensitive personal data to 3rd party providers with wildly varying security standards. It's lazy, irresponsible, and dangerous.

Yesterday I repeatedly said I was the most attacked MP in the UK. Which is true if you don't count the two who were killed, or those attacked with a sword or who had their offices set on fire and if you only count 'attacks' with milkshakes or eggs.

Today's was a real curve ball but I managed it in three 😎 Loconundrum #100 🟨⬜🟨 🚶‍♂️🚂🚂 ⬜🟨⬜ 🚂🚂 🟩🟩🟩

Nice one @libdems.org.uk 👍

What is it about white people that makes them so violent? Should we tolerate white culture in the UK? Is the fact he was arrested without violence evidence of two-tier policing? Should white people still be given housing when non-whites remain homeless? Will white leaders condemn this? etc.

Say what you like about David Cameron. He campaigned on the slogan "Broken Britain" and by the time his party left office they'd delivered one.

Being on Bluesky is in itself a form of age verification.

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

Racist politicians whip up racist outrage. Widespread disorder ensues. The courts treat widespread disorder with the severity that they have always treated widespread disorder. Racist politicians cry “two-tier justice”, whipping up racist outrage. Rinse. Repeat. It’s so fucking tedious.

Ok so don't borrow from them then, that's fine. Do it all with taxes, knock yerself out

It’s always pricks on 7 figure incomes that complain about the minimum wage and want it reduced. If his income is £7m/yr he earns more in a year than I’ll see in several lifetimes. I’d like to see him live on £12.21/hr www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They certainly had his number.

It is *incredibly* shabby that the Green Party cited "family and personal reasons" for their Makerfield candidate dropping out, given it was actually in relation to sharing antisemitic posts. Had a right-wing party done the same, they'd be getting called out loudly here for it. And rightly so.

Now that’s some useful advice 😏 Bet it burns your pits though!

RT with a photo that describes your idea of a living hell. (Light hearted responses only - we all know things like war are awful)

Every time I pass through or visit here all I can think of is some guy barking at Margaret Meldrew, “You said he was in Catering?!” MM: (meekly on realising the error) “In *Kettering*”

There's a problem with charities working in silos. They campaign for laws on their cause but not thinking about wider consequences. What's good for child safety online might not be good for safety of whistleblowers and journalists or privacy of the average person. And vice versa.

Local Elections on Thursday! I hope, for your sakes, that not too many of you lovely folks out there have Reform-y family or friends. But just in case you do, you might want to make sure they see this (something else I've pinched from a Facebook group).⬇️

I made a daily game where you try to guess a UK rail station! loconundrum.aaronc.cc

@aaronc.cc Hi, I’ve been enjoying Loconundrum for a few weeks now but I respectfully disagree with one of the routings it uses. Today the destination is LEI. My first guess was PAD. It routed to STP via a change at Farringdon where NRE routes direct via Circle/H&C.

Last night after work,my room at the hotel was the “Ted Rogers” suite

It's happening! 📢 On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill. Ask your MP to agree to Amendment 265 when it's considered on Tuesday: https://bitly.livingstreets.org.uk/4tMU2Uq

FACTCHECK UPDATE: No, the UK can't "be more like Norway" in the North Sea 🇬🇧 extracted most of its oil & gas after privatisation 🇳🇴 has much more left due to state stewardship 🤔Lawson spent UK windfall on tax cuts; Norway got a sovereign wealth fund www.carbonbrief.org/...

1/4🧵 A brief summary of what the #Trump regime has achieved in its war with #Iran after 5 weeks: a) The Strait of Hormuz is closed. It was open before the war began. b) #China and #Russia observe that the #US has not adapted to drone warfare. ⤵️

You have to feel sorry for James Dyson. Imagine buying up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax, only for Labour to then close the loophole. We need more patriots like him, who drive up farmland prices and vote for Brexit then fuck off to Singapore.

Today we’re running 6 return trips with 26043 on our diesel day. Hauling five mark 1s for extra thrash up the gradients 👀

Unfortunately our steam loco 6046 has a fault so our Green timetable is being worked by 26043

Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Yesterday’s 1C14 16:20 departure from Princes Risborough saw D1501 run the length of the line non stop to Chinnor in 14 minutes. This time lapse shows the drivers view. (Unfortunately the thrash going up Chinnor bank meant the camera fell off the windscreen just after Wainhill crossing 🤦‍♂️)

You’re not wrong! I’ll pass on the suggestion… On that subject, here’s D1015 seen at Gloucester, masquerading as D1001 “Western Pathfinder”, on the Pathfinder Farewell 20 Dec 2025 📸 @locusinpes.bsky.social
