Mostly photos of trains I’ve driven and the railway I work on, especially the old bits that really should be in a museum. And other things.

Well, if you’re going to be delayed you might as well be delayed in Prosser and Peachey’s magnificent 1877 train shed

So, Trump is a senile old prick, posts something he clearly thought was funny, the world tells him it’s far from funny, and that he’s a senile old prick, so he deletes it, blames a member of staff, who is now out of work, and that’s that?

Right 🙄
Outrage over video shared by Trump showing Obamas as apes
The White House initially defended the post before removing it hours later - blaming a member of staff for "erroneously" sharing the video.

When are we going to see some defenestrations and resignations in the US?

Goodwin must die a little inside each time he's out for pints and a curry with the Reform lads. You can pretend as much as you want that you're happy to be sitting next to Lee Anderson as he farts his way through a prawn vindaloo but we all know it's killing him.

Ooof! Twitter is an absolute maelstrom today, full of muddled MAGAs, flustered fascists, and rattled right wingers.

The confused conspiracists are trying to double down and deflect while the thunderstruck Trumpers are all at sea.

Meanwhile, Musk claims no knowledge…

“More people despair over “broken” Britain than during financial crisis”

I wonder why, The Telegraph, The Times, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Sun, BBC, GB “News”, Farage, Reform etc and so on…
More people despair over ‘broken Britain’ than during financial crisis
Poll finds dissatisfaction at state of the nation higher than after 2008 crash, with Reform voters most likely to believe UK is in decline

Learn the lessons of the last Tory Govt.

The Conservative Party were destroyed by falling for this same media narrative, changing PMs every other year, because of the polling of people who wouldn’t have voted Tory anyway.

It’s irrelevant.
Half of voters want Keir Starmer replaced now – in worst ever ratings
New polling delivers a fresh blow to the PM's authority - and among those who want him replaced, there is a clear favourite to take over

The Tories must be so relieved that this crank has defected to Reform.

As the Conservative Party continues down the road to relative normality, Reform PLC just gets weirder and weirder.

Truss is next.
