Tight Squeeze

As I just happened to be passing through Hendon Central Underground station, I couldn't resist capturing a train departing into one of the tight tunnels that are viewable at the end of the platform.

It always amazes me that the trains fit 😅

The average reading age in the UK is 9 to 11 years.
This is why #Farage does so well.
He uses simple language that most can follow.
His extreme rhetoric grabs attention and his simple language makes him seem like one of the people.
#Labour must learn this lesson adap to communicate effectively.

And so #Reform starts to unravel with a light finally being shone onto the influence of Russia on Reform leaders especially #Farage.
I'm sure there's more behind his 17 appearances on Russia Today?
Only asking questions.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

Nigel Farage should tell the people of #Caerphilly about how he wants to abolish the Senedd.

Actually, no need, we have a video of him saying it.

Seems @ReformDurham and @darrengrimes_ owe their electorate an apology,

They sold Durham the unicorns of DOGE and no council tax increases.

DOGE has found nothing and now they may be raising council tax.

Never trust a Reformer.

Jeremy Clarkson: “Farage rarely talks about the economy and when he does, his numbers don’t add up.

He says he wants to cut taxes and increase spending by £150billion.

But before anyone has the chance to question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats.”

Jeremy Clarkson brands Keir Starmer 'thick' as he details his own economic plan
