“Startling” is a hell of a choice of adjective.

The gap in transport funding between London and _literally everywhere else_ in the UK is such an unfair joke.
The rest of us have to get places too. Except, we have to own a car to be productive members of society.

More excellent reporting from the @sheffieldtribune.bsky.social as they work to track down Andrew Milne. And it starts with a really heartbreaking tale. It does feels like they’ve really broken any power this guy had over anyone… www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/after-beckys...
After Becky’s mum died, it was time to sell her childhood home. Then Andrew Milne got in touch

We sang We Like The Moon at the gig last night - the first time we have ever done this song live. So much fun, we'll do this (and a couple of other classic Rathergood songs) in the middle of the ska set next time we do one of these.
Mostly uploaded so Robbie can see it... the one time anyone will see We Like The Moon live!

Great. Santander's banking app refuses to load if you're on a beta version of iOS and tell you your phone has been jailbroken.
So now I can't access my bank.
