Lobbyist / ex Tory MP Ben Howlett has been done by an undercover sting. As ever, the most revealing thing is how very very cheap it is buy access in British media/politics — and especially how Howlett controls one of the biggest UK pol Twitter accounts!

Exclusive: Rail regulator pulls Avanti service from timetable from mid-December but it is needed for staff travel

The rail regulator has axed one of Britain’s fastest and most lucrative intercity services, the 7am Avanti West Coast from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston, as part of a timetable shake-up that will take effect in mid-December. Continue reading...

I’ve really noticed that Rider 2025.3.0.2 (and 3.0.1) is incredibly unstable on Mac.
Having to restart several times a day. Infuriating!
Is there another patch on the way @jetbrains.com?
