Cologne to Brussels today 210km in under two hours.

London to Birmingham today 187km already four hours and counting.

And they cannot get their heads around why we have a productivity problem

The Tory Party is the political equivalent of privatisation - ripping everyone off, delivering a shite service and only benefiting it’s members.

Good morning from Cologne. The 9 day beer tour of Germany is coming to an end. Leading 24 elderly people around the country by rail has been harder than I expected, Düsseldorf, Harz, Nürnberg, München, back to Rheinland. Rewarding but exhausting.
