Out and about early with celebrity unit ‘The Northumbrian’ as it prepares to work 2D03 to Darlington from a chilly Saltburn. Morning just starting to break upon departure. Unusually tranquil compared with weekday services too, everyone’s enjoying a lie in 😴

Laila Cunningham fell for the same thing that happened to Nigel Farage years ago. 🤣🤣 "And what was that, Mark? ‘I got hit in the head by a horse.’" She really thought she was going to have her moment, and you can hear the disappointment in her voice.

I’d suggest @Channel4 might fancy looking into who is paying for these 15 million ‘newspapers’

Reform want to rollback workers' rights and cut taxes for billionaires. Spain did the opposite - and has one of the fastest growing economies in Europe.

Members in our region will not be surprised at this. The level of assaults are increasing and intransigently linked to swathing cuts to BTP. Any action or arrests increasingly becoming highly unlikely. #ActionAgainstAssaults

Robert Jenrick is chasing a guy who stole a bottle of Coke worth about £2, but this is the same Robert Jenrick who helped his mate avoid paying £40 million in tax when he was Housing Secretary.

What could possibly go wrong? I’m sure given the chap delivering the speech drives his as 125, he wouldn’t mind seeing that 2.5% achieved!

Replying to @ASLEFunion
In 2025, a Network Rail chief engineer put it bluntly: "For a sustainable asset, we need to renew 2.5% of our assets. We're projecting 0.75% – doing less renewals than we need to to be sustainable." The true cost of cuts is drivers', our colleagues and our passengers' safety.

Trump has dropped his $10bn charge against the BBC after he was told he would have to give the BBC his Financial Records. Not suspicious at all...
