This isn't an exclusive It's bullshit, written based on some PR puff from Getlink Tip for next time: speak to someone who's NOT in one of the companies implicated, then you might avoid writing such rubbish Oh and your map's wrong #CrossChannelRail

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Genuinely on the look out for sightings of Conservatives - MPs, present or past, commentators - who are as outspoken in their solidarity with Ukraine today as they were when doing so carried no potential penalty in getting on the wrong side of Maga.

Zelenskyy and country are our allies who have fought with their lives for our freedom and democratic values. Trump is against all this, and attempts to undermine actual acts of heroism. What is the name for someone who stands against our values and slanders our allies with treason, it not enemy?

Vance’s grotesqueness aside, the whole thing is one of the most horrific acts of betrayal ever committed by a democratic state against another. Just a moral abomination and a permanent stain on everyone who supports it

I have a confession: I’ve recently taken a fair few journeys across the UK by rail and it worked well, the tickets weren’t crazy expensive, the trains were clean and on the time, and the connections (even on Northern) were good. (Is this the sort of contrary take that gets me a column in Spiked.)

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

“I thoughts there were some brakes on the system, but I was wrong.” One year since Alexei Navalny’s suspicious death, political opposition in Russia is more repressed than ever. Here’s what’s going on: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#OnThisDay 29 years ago, a 1,400kg IRA bomb exploded adjacent to South Quay station, resulting in suspension of the DLR between Heron Quays and Island Gardens for more than 2 months. Image showing blast damage to the viaduct: StockCarPete https://buff.ly/3Czk2xB

It's outrageous that the UK secretly ordered Apple to build an encryption backdoor that would let it spy on Americans and won't even confirm it. Now more than ever, we need end-to-end encryption www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Not to be outdone by the U.S., the United Kingdom has decided that February is “clown show month.” It wants to spy on Apple’s encrypted accounts even if you don’t live there. wapo.st/4k2AF5Z

Why would anyone possibly think Starmer would do 1) what's ethically right but tactically problematic, 2) offers no immediate advantages to him, 3) concerns foreign policy (that he largely seems to ignore) and 4) is somehow aiding "Europe" and hence likely gets a tabloid backlash?

View From Pontoon Dock I love watching the trains snake along the tracks as they approach Pontoon Dock Docklands Light Railway station. At times the DLR resembles a roller coaster with all it's curves, inclines, and angles. #photography #railway

I work for TfL and head up the DLR. I love my job. Why? As ever these are my personal views and not those of my employer. 1. I love the thing we run. The DLR connects an area that had all-but been abandoned, and it absolutely has transformed it. I'm proud. #London #Transport #DLR
