@novaramedia.com Ash brilliant on Newsnighr: never seen Danny Finkelstein look so uncomfortable: he wouldn't even turn to look at Ash on the BMA: the whipping boys of the right (including the so-called Labour govt) just now...
...and in the Nick Fuentes segment, Ash had Danny squirming and agreeing!

@railnatter.uk @garethdennis.uk www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructu.... What happened to China's support since they built the Tazara railway in 1970-1975? Saw documentary saying it very quickly stopped functioning, and China were not helpful? Can anyone enlighten me? (I hitched TanZam in 1972 😆)
China-backed Tazara revitalisation officially launched
AFRICA: A US$1·4bn project to revitalise the 1 860 km Tanzania - Zambia Railway was officially launched during a visit by Chinese Premier Li Qiang to Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema.

@garethdennis.uk I read your book ("How The Railways Will Fix The Future" - recommended by Novara Media) and got enthused about trains!
Is there a decent discussion forum (not on Twitter - won't use them) about railways, and increasing the modal share?

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social terrible tonight: that woman in yellow, allowed to shout others down (along with Trump fan from America earlier) and talk down any other contributors.
Sorry, Nick Watt, you didn't keep on top of things!! Very biased programme: not good enough for "flagship" Newsnight!

Your Party? But not if you are a member of another (national) party?
...perhaps @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social (who I have been very supportive of up until now) could explain why he has decided that "Your Party" has got to be this way, without asking me?
Doesn't sound like My Party...

I have recently read (over just two days) 'Raising Hare' by @chloedalton.bsky.social - absolutely beautiful! The human-animal interaction is poignant (but not sentimental - she names none of the animals) and the potential political awakening (cf @righttoroam.bsky.social) that emerges. Read it!!

Beyond Wikipedia...
...I am a regular viewer and supporter of @novaramedia.com and I also read (among many other things!!) articles from the very mainstream US journal, Foreign Affairs - it is useful as a very detailed expression of US thinking regarding the USA and The Rest Of The World. (contd.)
