You’re welcome ! My family is mildly obsessed with the loco named after the designer from us seeing it at a steam day in the late 70s ! Utterly stunning engines

It’s one of the same class as the fastest Steam Locomotive The Mallard - though they were built in England (but worked on Scottish routes too)

I remember going to Carnforth as a child for a steam open day around 1979 , we as a family fell in love with Sir Nigel on that day . I bought my dad the Hornby model for his 80th recently. Got to see Bittern stripped down at Crewe a few years ago too .

A4 . As epitomised by The Mallard (which is the fastest steam locomotive ever with a recorded speed of 126 mph) , and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley . There are 6 of them still in existence and they were brought together in 2013 for the 75th anniversary of the record run . They are beautiful IRL .

Cooper joins a long list of Reform UK councillors who have been exposed for their extreme views. It’s particularly shocking that someone in a leadership position has not been vetted sufficiently - or perhaps Farage and his party think this is an acceptable way to behave?

Worryingly, the group’s internal Signal chat includes children. We identified at least two members under the age of 16 who have expressed extreme political views online.

I think it will all be explained in the Big Red Book.

Farage also wants an apology from the BBC "for all of your appalling output" or he won't speak to them again. He sounds very, very rattled.

It’s a latter day South Sea Bubble . Also shows that Musk’s wealth is built on foundations of sand.

Wasn’t the USA built on the backs of people enslaved by invaders from foreign countries , the invaders who committed genocide against the native population?
