When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Another significant step forward with the Severn Valley Railway landslip repair at Mor Brook took place this week as the permanent way team removed the track over the affected area. With the track safely removed, reconstruction work by civil engineering contractor CML will commence imminently.

Five minutes of chat on BBC R4 Today programme this morning on how autonomous vehicles are coming by 2027... lots of chat about how to make them publicly acceptable, but no question about *why* we supposedly need them. What problem is this meant to solve, and is it worth all the investment?

Hey British media, It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning. Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Incredible news! 89% of the global public want more climate action, but don't realise they're part of a huge and potentially powerful majority. #The89Percent aims to fix that and motivate climate delayer* politicians to up their game. Well done @dpcarrington.bsky.social & all involved 🧵 1/3...

At Rail Industry Association's decarb conference. What a change from 2007 & the call for electrification. Chiltern Railways MD discussing today how they even get funding to do a study into partial electrification, with heavy reliance on batteries. Let alone actually building any. (1/2)
