In a letter obtained by POLITICO via freedom of information laws, the rail minister told the man's employer: “Finding a potential supplier criticising a possible client reflects adversely on your likelihood of doing business with us or our supply chain.”

Now that the poll is closed, I can explain that 42% of you- a majority- would have chosen to demolish the oldest, highest listed, and most historically significant of these buildings, which is why we don’t let laypeople make decisions based on vibes.

I need husband😍😍 I am single 🔥from USA

Luke and I are BACK with our day in the life series, bravely asking what medieval jocks, aka tourney knights, did all day.

Our girl is at it again!!!

Lord Peter Hendy SYSTRA UK & Ireland Now, you've all seen The Letter, I'm sure. Just in case though, here it is again, fully unredacted. Funny tidbit: We received this letter via both SAR and FOI and it was redacted differently in both. But between them, we got the lot. NR data officer: you are a legend.

SYSTRA UK & Ireland This was not good enough for Hendy, who decided to double down with his threats. If you want to see the bit where he threatens to go to SYSTRA UK & Ireland's "head office and shareholders", this is where he says it:

This is disgraceful conduct by Lord Peter Hendy, or rather "The Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill, of Imber in the County of Wiltshire." This misuse of power to settle personal grievance is incompatible with holding responsibility in a safety-critical sector. It might even be MiPO.

So as you might imagine, I've been bombarded (positive) by messages from people across the rail industry and beyond with stories like my own including about Hendy specifically... Now is the time to go public in whatever way you feel safe to!

I take it back, AI is good.

sure, we could do that and it would definitely be an improvement but what if we tried ~300 micro states again?

finally a statement from sir keir on this:

Reminder that #hs2 would have served Leeds-East Midlands hub 5 trains an hour, with 8/16 carriages per train and take 27 minutes (with Nottingham centre just 12 mins from emh).

I am afraid this episode absolutely bangs and tells us so much about the way peasants perceive their social conditions, and the ways that they can and did advocate for themselves.

Thinking today not only of the victims who perished in Grenfell but Dawn Foster, one of the journalists who was at the forefront of coverage standing up for residents and who would undoubtedly have plenty to say this morning if she were still with us.

Quite a few industry heads in here saying "who else?" about the Rail Minister role once Hendy is gone, to which I'll say: she's right there! And she's actually democratically elected! members.parliament.uk/member/4029/ca…

Today is World Sexual Health Day #WSHD2024 and the theme this year is #PositiveRelationships. I think we should pay much more attention to relationships: the R in RSE is often silent I think. I have a tonne of resources around relationships, eg bishuk.com/relationships/

OK look, I am the first to admit that I am fully obsessed with medieval merchants. The GLAMOUR. The TRAVEL. The POLYGLOT EXPERIENCE. We've got all of this and more this week.
