The UK has been exporting loads of its old Intercity 125s with flimsy fibreglass cabs to Cancun. Unfortunately it seems Mexico has slightly different attitude to the question “is it acceptable to have a car on a level crossing as a train approaches”, creating quite a stream of content.

All of these skills built up on the project will be scattered to the winds because we have cancelled a chunk of the project and we're not building any more high speed rail.
Engineers working on the HS2 project have slid a 4,600t viaduct section across the M6 without a full carriageway closure, in what contractors say is a UK first that will reduce disruption for drivers

I don’t often have much good to say about Derby but well done that man!
It's a sad day when patriotic hero Tommy Robinson can't visit a Muslim country and get his arse handed to him and publicly shit himself.

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.

"So it's like the Olympics but only for ex-British Empire countries, aside from Rwanda because Paul Kagame, and we sort of kept it going because of the Queen and now no one wants to host it so the UK is now paying for Glasgow to do so."

...but the Bundesliga is a model of transparency compared to the PL, where 11 clubs currently have commercial relationships worth millions with those illegal operators. There's no reason why the BBC, ITV or Channel 4 shouldn't be doing something similar. We are at their disposal if help is needed.
Great news from Germany, where Borussia Moenchengladbach has just announced the termination of their partnership with Asian-facing betting operator AYX, following the broadcast by @zdfde.bsky.social of a documentary on the Bundesliga's relationship with illegal operators.

A mini-story to cheer you up this morning. The other day my teenage son returned to his locked bike to find the back wheel nicked. We went back yesterday to rescue it - and found this note taped to the frame. We have the wheel again. A very happy Xmas to Ollie and his note-writing other half.

It's a real shame just how much the anti-terror protection has degraded all of the cycleways on London bridges. Making what would have been a good width undersized.
There are countless areas where people gather that don't have barriers. But the bridges are forever compromised.

Lambeth Bridge N&S used to be one of the most dangerous junctions in London.
We're transforming it - making it safer for everyone.
I'm delighted the carriageway has now reopened to two-way traffic - with new protected cycle lanes both side (with anti-terrorism protection) 🚲

Three days ago Starmer was arguing that the UK shouldn’t think about rejoining the EU because it would unpick all these great US trade deals.
