"The politicians basically serve the rich, the wealthy, and their self-interest."
Listen to this man in Nigel Farage's constituency.

This is near Armstrong, Ontario.
When will the Canadian National Railway Company make a statement about this incident?

I am soooo fascinated by Look Mum No Computer. I’ve been processing it all day because it’s SO left field, I can’t even fathom expectations for the song.
But some of the stuff he makes sounds incredible, and if he can match this lyrically and vocally, oh damn. #Eurovision

Fortescue launched 14.5 MWh battery-electric locomotives in the Pilbara — that’s ~200+ Tesla packs worth of storage rolling through iron ore country. Heavy haul rail. No diesel. Massive regen on the downhill runs. This is industrial #Bettrification ⚡🚆🔋

On his helmet, Latvia’s @Olimpiade_lv goalie Elvis Merzļikins honors Matīss Kivlenieks (#80), who tragically lost his life in an accident in 2021.
The IOC allows this kind of tribute.
But when an athlete is killed by a russian missile during a military invasion, that athlete’s face suddenly becomes “political propaganda” in the eyes of @iocmedia.
Do they even realize how absurd and cynical this is?
This kind of “neutrality” helps russia in its war against civilization and peace.
Supporting mass murderers and war criminals is not neutrality.

It was this. This is what went wrong.

Greenlandic politician Tillie Martinussen wasn’t “confused.” She was warning the world.
“Be rich like Americans? Look how greedy they are. They’ll even invade their friends.”
She said even if Greenland has oil and minerals, they still won’t be bought, because they’ve watched what America did to Indigenous people: take the land, strip the rights, call it progress.
And she went there:
“Trump surrounds himself with white power people… we are of color… our rights would probably be taken away.”
That’s not a negotiation.
That’s a hard no, with receipts.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

👀 I had to look twice…
🚛 No, it is a locomotive, a hybrid Vectron Euro9000 of Germany’s RTB Cargo.
The new livery cleverly shows a train replaces 52 trucks.
Subtle details include a pine tree air freshener! 🌲

Chickenpox is common. Usually it is just unpleasant, but it can be severe or life threatening.
A long established vaccine to prevent it will be offered to all children rather than only those who can pay.
Immunity by vaccination is safer than by infection.
We're launching a chickenpox vaccination programme which will protect around half a million children each year.
From January 2026, eligible children will get an MMRV vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.
Eligibility will be announced in due course.

Last month, I warned that proscribing Palestine Action would result in the mass criminalisation of people who are not even members of the group.
Now more than 500 people have been arrested.
I voted against the proscription. We shouldn't be conflating protest with terrorism.
