stylised version of @garethdennis.uk's British Isles HSR proposal from Railnatter 222 (+ schematic mockup of the GB network)
It should be entirely possible and affordable to deliver this. It could create loads of jobs, free up large swathes of existing network for local/regional rail and freight and end most internal flights.

Today T6 Nord tramway opened in Lyon. The project isn't very big (just 5.5 km) but the timeline is just impressive: the project was launched in 2020, 3 years for planning, design, public consultation, permitting and contracting and less than 3 years for construction.

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision.
Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

In Chapter 12, Cass considers social transition.
As per §12.2, this might include haircuts, clothing, name change, and pronoun usage.

Wasn't there some (attempted) arson incident involving some Weather-Underground-wannabes... last year, I think? Can't remember who, and the "fire" part didn't work so well, but they had locked some people inside the building first so they were clearly trying for bonus Revolution points.

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

The moral panic about young men is the new version of “UKIP is winning over former Labour voters” (also a Goodwin argument). Both rely on anecdote more than data, and do significant damage to public understanding of the radical right. Young men are the second *least* pro-Reform group in the UK.
