I see this and ask why giving out a message of hope should be something voters shouldn't expect from a progressive party. Why shouldn't progressive politics be able to express itself by telling people that life can and should be better? Go on Democrats excite us with a message of hope.

Help! Now we've settled in a little it's time ti think about buying a bike. The problem is the bike scene in Copenhagen is so different. So what's a good brand? What should I be looking for? I want to use it for everything but a cargo bike would be overkill. Help!

More money going to the trump family account!

It's amazing how some people see a vague announcement by government that sets no firm timelines and no significant investment commitment from treasury as good news. Meanwhile in a proper country www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwAn...

Why are the westminister labour government briefing against Tracey Brabin? If I were her I would be drafting my resignation from the Labour Party. The whole of the north of england deserve better from this government. (and yes the Leeds trams are cancelled again) inews.co.uk/news/leeds-t...

Indonesia can block X, why can't the UK and the rest of Europe?

"Elon Musk Decides Generating Child Sexual Images Should Be A Premium Feature" Fixed it for you @theguardian.com

The best time to get off X was when Musk took over twitter. The second best time is now. Get off X

Back here again but this time for good!

Labour and their continuing quest to be the most disgusting party in UK politics.

John Swinney calls Nigel Farage a Racist. It's about time for leaders of all the other parties start calling him a racist too.

Experiencing this myself at the moment!

Saw a man wearing a "Make America Great Again" in M&S yesterday. It's good to know where the racist idiot is in any environment.

And he's absolutely right!

If you've stuck with Labour through thick and thin, this really should be your wake up call. Get out! Leave and never come back.

One of the joys of life in Copenhagen is sitting having breakfast while elegantly dressed Danes wizz by.

Maybe if the government she is part of wasn't so intent on pursuing transphobic policies then maybe this campaign might have some merit. But until @charlotte2153.bsky.social us prepared to call for real change from the Labour leadership then it's pointless froth. They ought to be ashamed.

Back here again!

I have a deep dislike of airports. Nothing makes you feel more dehumanised. Train stations on the other hand fill me full of possibilities. Anyway off to Copenhagen for a very quick trip to sort out schools for the kiddo.

Seems a bit mean to blame Transport for Wales (tfw) for the rise of fascists. But on the other hand if I have to get another bus down to Cardiff Bay it may be justified.

Do you know what? It IS working. It hasn't caused tailbacks, quite the opposite actually. More importantly it's saved the lives of at least a dozen kids. Reform are actually campaigning for the return of more deaths and injuries. Absolutely bonkers.

British.

The first line made me laugh. For "many" we should read "very few".

Everyone should know about this and understand the nature of what Nigel Farage and Reform are. Hatefilled, bigots the lot of them. We must stand with our minorities and call this shit out.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

It's like they've never heard of induced demand.

Looks like we're moving to Copenhagen soon. Hope it's good for cycling.

A play facility that was paid for by community fundraising has been demolished because residents complained about the noise. They should be ashamed of themselves www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Levelling up is short hand now for small hand outs for the north while cancelling or delaying any meaningful investment.

In a couple of weeks I should be able to confirm that we are moving to a city where no one needs to campaign for more cycle lanes!

This is a good point being made for the separation of high speed express lines from commuter lines. HS2 needs to be completed in full and extended to at least Carstairs to allow more stopping services.

I have a lot of time for Carla. Always speaking exactly to my views and values.

My feeling after spending the summer travelling around Scandinavia.

Very happy to see this happening. The consultation document for the Burns Stations stated that services would be run by either TfW or GWR. Never understood how anyone would think GWR would be politically acceptable. www.railmagazine.com/news/transpo...

FFS!

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

Normal pricing Abergavenny to Bridgend return £24.30 (Anytime fare source TfW app). Payg was already offering great value for many passengers this offer makes it better. Just a pity GWR don't want to play ball. (Cross-country quite happy to accept Payg passengers)

Cycling in Copenhagen is great but I've yet to work out how to turn left. Straight on, no problem, turn right is easy peasey. But can I figure out how I'm supposed to turn left? Doesn't help that cycle routes don't exist at home in Newport.

I may not be getting a cab ride on the way to Copenhagen but I can at least watch as the line disappear s behind us.

Well that's been a good day. Newport to Amsterdam by train. First trip on the Eurostar for me! Easy, great journey only let down by GWR cancelling the first leg of the journey making things just a bit tight for time!

I've run this through the @garethdennis.uk #notametrosorter and can confirm for Steve Rotherham that it is indeed a bus. That's not a problem but you shouldn't be pretending that it's anything other than a big bus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not just nationalisation. Public ownership is the first step we need to take to make our railways work for all 68 million of us and not just a hand full of greedy share holders. We want the power put in our hands. @garethdennis.uk

Is this how new serious journalism going to work from now on? An online subscription model with some additional ad revenue, focusing only on the most hard hitting stories? Less clickbait more holding to account.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪
