+ great flexibility if trains are cancelled. The new branding will also feature on the incoming GBR ticketing app: a one‑stop shop where passengers can check train times, buy tickets at the best prices with no booking fees, and book Passenger Assist. 3/3 www.gov.uk/government/n...

This includes Thameslink, Southern, Gatwick Express & Great Northern. Data is already showing publicly operated services are running more punctual and with fewer cancellations. While other benefits include + tens of thousands of extra passenger seats pet week in new timetables 2/3

The 1st GB Railways branded train has been unveiled in Brighton! (Please remember, yellow is NOT part of the design, it is a legal requirement.) The choice of location is to mark the UK's largest operator, Govia Thameslink services, coming back under public control at the end of this month. 1/3

The new Reform Administration in St Helens just admitted they were too politically inexperienced to run the council and have created a post, paid for by the council, to help them. At a cost of 200k over 4 years. You actually cant make this up!

Number 10: "Last week’s strong growth figures show that this government has the right economic plan. Today, the IMF has upgraded the UK’s growth forecast. We are building a stronger, fairer Britain."

The gentleman is for turning: Farage changes story over £5m donation as investigation launched t.co/1EE2FQAxxP

"Nigel Farage benefited from Brexit to the tune of £5mn, the rest of us haven't." Great line. #bbcAQ

This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.

Fuck the president of the United States of America.

If you are unemployed & can't find a job within Reform's four month deadline, they will stop your benefits Many people would be homeless & on the streets It takes most six to twelve months or even years to secure a job, it’s not quick & easy anymore so Reform’s plan will make everything worse

Mamdani for President 💥

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

Yet more fantastic renewable energy news, a million homes powered by clean, green energy. The cure to all your fossil fuel price gauging. We should have started this decades ago, but oil companies have so much power in politics.

Ben Habib alleges that Nigel Farage & Boris Johnson were paid £1m each by Christopher Harborne to essentially rig the election in favour of Johnson.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

UK Millionaires Willing to Pay More Tax for Public Services A Survation poll for Patriotic Millionaires UK found 75% of 501 millionaires with over £1 million in investable assets ready to pay more to preserve Britain's social and economic strengths, while 88% feel proud to live there.

Note: the 113 Labour MPs signing their names to the letter BACKING the PM are all backbench MPs and PPSs. It doesn't include cabinet ministers, ministers, junior ministers and whips - who are formally part of the government and many of whom also support the PM. So his support is way higher.

Keir Starmer is well within his rights to stand firm and resist calls for him to go.

Remember how Starmer responded to the riots back in 2024. Fast, decisively and with courage. That’s what he needs to bring to the table from now on. No pandering, no dithering just strength and conviction.

Here are a few of the things we can expect in the King's Speech today, based on the government's press release (I've pulled everything out). We already know there will be more included (perhaps 35 bills) &more will likely be done in Parliament beyond what is in here. 1/7

Fararge inherented Boris Johnson's sugar daddy, and then inherited half of Johnson's old cabinet. This seems like quite a coincidence. Who is really running the show? Boris Johnson's office receives £1m donation from crypto investor www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government. Nigel Farage wants us to leave it. Please think about that youtu.be/Fhrb5Z7ScME?...

I know there’s a lot going on with the Labour Party, but it is all in the bounds of democratic politics. This however, paid collusion between the leaders of two political parties in the run up to election, if true, is a scandal of staggering propositions

I think a US president stating intent to murder American citizens is an impeachable offense but what do I know

He has made Americans vulnerable to outbreaks of viruses.

Yesterday something brilliant happened in Gosport, amongst all the noise and the results of the local elections in a space of only a few days we managed to organise people - to stand for unity and celebrate the cultural diversity of our town ❤️

Five Reform councillors forced to resign today Disciplinary Actions & Expulsions: Several councillors have been "ousted" or expelled by Reform for "bringing the party into disrepute" or displaying a "lack of integrity".

This should be controversial, but... We don't get to pick and choose which hatred we condemn. If you call out Islamophobia, you must also call out antisemitism. If you only speak up when it's convenient, you’re not opposing bigotry - you're just picking sides. 1/3

If Democrats rig elections, how did Trump become president twice?

The institutions that are supposed to protect our democracy need to wake up to the reality of 2026. Quite obviously, there is nothing to "consider" here. Quite obviously, this needs investigation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today in Brexit Britain you are being asked to believe that a Thailand-based cryptocurrency tycoon secretly gave Nigel Farage - the person, not his party - five million pounds without any hope or expectation of getting anything in return.

Keir Starmer: "Before the war in Iran I made clear: it is only fair that we have a windfall tax when energy companies make windfall profits, so we can help families with the cost of living. The Tories, Reform, SNP all oppose it. Only this Labour government stands up for working people."

None of this OK. The Green Party has an antisemitism problem and they are not sorting it out. 2/2

Several more reports of antisemitism from Green Party council candidates today. This time in Newcastle. Many of those from recent weeks still haven't had any consequences. The one who was suspended is STILL being supported and campaigned for by their local Green Party. 1/2

REFORM 11.04.26 - Tice tax issues 12.04.26 - Police reviewing the Reform energy giveaway 18.04.26 - more Tice tax issues 27.04.26 - Jenrick £40k donation form US from someone who is awaiting sentence for wire fraud. Referred to Police as well as Standards Committee

My gaming take for the night: Video games are good but the chase for visual fidelity has dealt a massive blow to the health of the industry So many amazing games remain unplayed by many because the standards for graphics is so high (for the majority) Seeing retro games as ugly=bad is a mistake

Nigel Farage has just visited one of the poorest areas in Wales in a private helicopter! He hid the helicopter - probably paid for by super-rich donor living in Thailand - in the next valley, and arrived by car. He's a con man.

National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Act 2026 Ministerial Salaries (Amendment) Act 2026 Grenfell Tower Memorial (Expenditure) Act 2026 3/3

The (now) acts are: English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act 2026 Crime and Policing Act 2026 Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 Pension Schemes Act 2026 Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026 Victims and Courts Act 2026 2/3

9 bills from our Labour government have become law this week. Has ANY of the media covered the impact ANY will have on our lives? Or have they just reported on gossip, rumour and speculation? Each and everyone has an important impact but the media will not tell you about them! 1/3

Good riddance to hereditary peers. This country remains in thrall to aristocracy and inherited privilege, and it's an absolute cancer. "Birth right" bollocks should not afford anyone a higher status than others in 2026. Ludicrous crap.

Keir Starmer took action to drive the scourge of anti-Semitism out of the Labour party (although its re-surfacing in the Greens) now he's taking immediate action to drive anti-Semitism out of North London. Well done Keir. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

This is what the Media want. This is what they are campaigning for. It’s not about you. It’s not about your community, your bills, your wages, your potholes. It’s about them. And keeping more of their money by ripping you off. #VoteLabour

+ Reduction of tax loopholes used disproportionately by the wealthy And each an every one of these policies has been introduced in the UK by our Labour government since July 2024. 3/3

+ Stronger taxation of high‑value residential properties + Expanded public control over local bus services + Use of fare reductions or free travel to address cost‑of‑living pressures + Large‑scale public investment in childcare and early‑years provision 2/3

Mamdani, the new Mayor of New York has some excellent progressive policies than anyone on the left would be proud of. This includes: + Increased tax burdens on high‑income individuals and accumulated wealth + Higher taxation of investment and financial‑sector profits 1/3

Every single subject Badenoch attacks Starmer on, is a subject that is currently in the process of being fixed after 14 years of Tory destruction & devastation. Maybe she should launch the attacks on her own party? #PMQs
