Privatisation has been a failure. The Labour Party will set out our plans in #KingsSpeech to sort out our railways by ensuring they are: ✅ Publicly owned ✅ Passenger focused ✅ Fit for the track

In contrast, here in Reading West our Labour-run council has not only kept the libraries open, but turned them into real multi-purpose community hubs. 👍🏻 📚🌹 Kaz Self theguardian.com/news/article/2…

This cannot be understated. R**e culture takes root from a shockingly young age, so it is never too early to introduce the concept of bodily autonomy and enthusiastic consent, long before the birds and the bees.

"The companies have said [...] that treating drivers as employees would reshape their businesses." Good! If your business model relies on exploiting desperate workers and denying them min wage and basic working conditions, then your business damn well should be "reshaped". ✊🏻🤬

Our Passenger Railway Services Bill will improve rail travel by bringing train operators into public ownership 🚆 Today marks its second reading in UK House of Commons. Find out what a publicly owned railway will mean for you 👇

.Pete Buttigieg: "If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man."

You might take your health and safety at work for granted in 24, but it wasn’t always like this. 50 years ago today, one of the first new laws of a newly elected Labour government was the Health and Safety at Work Act. ✊🌹 ier.org.uk/comments/the-h…

I can possibly support using tech to aid in executing lawfully issued warrants, but vague language like "threaten or cause harm" should give everyone pause. What's a "threat"? What's "harm"? Who decides? How can one check if they're in the database and challenge their inclusion?

The guy who brags that he 💩s in a gold-plated toilet doesn't understand ordinary Americans? Stop the presses!

.British Transport Police As a train driver who often finds and removes this racist filth on his trains, and is therefore placed directly at risk, I'm curious what steps you're taking to investigate and prosecute those involved? What offences might they have committed?

RIP Phil Donahue. His words about his 2003 firing from MSNBC because of his opposition to the Iraq war still ring true today. "They were terrified of the antiwar voice."

Politely, but firmly owned.

Apparently Lara Brown was a Parliamentary Researcher before joining Policy Exchange in 2023. If this underresearched uninformed fallacious drivel is indicative of the quality of background research under the Tory gov't, it's no wonder Tory ministers are always so clueless.

People will say this ran way too long, but what are you supposed to do, not give Kathy Hochul a speech

TL;DR: If you invent a system that can safely and reliably run driverless trains on Victorian-era infrastructure w/o literally tearing it all up and starting over, give Siemens, Hitachi, Alstom, or Thales a call b/c if that tech existed (it doesn't) it would be worth £billions.

If the HST replacement in Scotland is a brand new fleet then it must, in my view, have #levelboarding.

We send our condolences to the loved ones of the three people who lost their lives in the tragic incident near Riedlingen, Germany, yesterday. Our thoughts are with our union siblings in the the German train drivers' union, the GDL. Their member was among those who sadly died.
