No political interview or debate should be aired live. They should all be fact-checked by agreed impartial bodies and then edited accordingly to remove any falsehoods. Gave an hour long interview and only 5 minutes made it to air? That's on you.

What's the point of the state if it's not managing basic resources and industries. Railways, healthcare, power, water, post office and more should be publicly owned. In any sane system this wouldn't even be up for debate.

I have done a poo, in the public toilets, in every famous tourist attraction I've been to. Top of the Empire State Building was my proudest achievement to date.

If we're going to ban social media and mobile phones for kids, then we need to ban Facebook and the Daily Mail for boomers. For the exact same fucking reasons.

If HS2 was a motorway, it would have been built by now! But because new rail projects are minutely analysed with this "value for the taxpayer" nonsense. If road building was held to the same level of scrutiny, a sizable amount of the road network would still be cart tracks.

Seeing as everyone seems to attempting to design their own GBR liveries, here's my naff attempt 😂. I think the main issue is that the 'must include red, white & blue' brief is always going limit any designer's options. I do think using a deeper 'GNER blue' could help though

After having a chicken (thigh!) burger from the Euston Leon last weekend my only thought is how this didn’t happen sooner. The service was poor and the food very bad quality, while the price was more than the Burger King elsewhere in the station for a similar meal.
