Today was the annual Poppies to Paddington event; born out the pandemic as an idea from the Veterans Charity and held annually since. 800306 has had a special livery for a number of years, but this year has been totally repainted and had a fresh roll of honour decals added 1/5

Don’t forget Labour promised to audit the Teeside Freeport in opposition, which hasn’t happened.

"This entire saga has a smell hanging over it. The people of Teesside, Hartlepool and Darlington are no fools. That smell will not go away until there is a full, transparent and independent inquiry."

£41 million! That’s how much more the Post Office has just agreed to pay Fujitsu to keep using the faulty Horizon IT system. It's a slap in the face to all those wrongfully convicted PO staff.

Laughable is not exaggerating - defy you to read some of the corrections without actually laughing.

Absolutely. The same names keep coming up - Nigel Biggar, Paul Marshall, James Orr etc are all named in that article. All part of the right wing political project for whom Brexit was simply a small building block app.thenewworld.co.uk/story/143582...

NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

Scotland, Britain, and the world need a federal BBC that can truly represent the many publics and communities that call these islands home, writes Christopher Silver ✍️ Read here: www.thenational.scot/commen...

The BBC needs a board. But it should not define editorial matters. Select a citizen's assembly of 299 randomly selected people, let them take expert evidence, and make choices driven by the public. Like a jury would. It works for trials. Why not for sensitive areas like media impartiality?

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

George Monbiot - "We should never underestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

Boris Johnson says the idea that criticism of the BBC is being organised by the right is ‘complete and utter bollocks’, which makes me think there might be something in it.

Legal experts, former government ministers and an ex-MI6 director criticise the process used to ban Palestine Action. An independent commission said the definition of terrorism was too broad and parliamentary oversight and judicial scrutiny was needed. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth. Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it. Every single time.

"There are soiled sheets, unvoiced fears, missed doses of morphine. The hard truth, in short, about underfunding palliative care is that people who are at their most vulnerable – the dying – suffer more pain, more indignity, less choice & less autonomy than they might have."

Nearly 2 HOURS to get through Passport Control at Schipol Airport. To everyone that voted for BREXIT I say this... Fuck you imbeciles!.

Post Office Horizon IT contract extended for another year. PO to pay £41m to Fujitsu. Fujitsu was instrumental in persecution of innocent postmasters. £1.2bn compensation paid from public purse. More to follow. Fujitsu haven't paid a penny, no one has been charged. Why is Fujitsu being rewarded?
