Trump looks as if he is falling asleep.
The UK is now back in adult leadership but needs to get closer to Europe again - and more distant from Trumpton.

Trump looks as if he is falling asleep.
I think this should refer to 'Trump’s A***’... www.thedailybeast.com/republican-r...
Epsteen!
Has the BBC fallen to far-right interest groups? #bbcpm
I have often wondered why Grangemouth cooling towers have that distinctive shape. #bbcpm
You need a non profit-based healthcare system.
🚨 #bbcpm
Of course Trunp and the NatCons won't care. The law is what they say it is. #bcpm
Trump illegally deployed national guard during LA immigration protests, judge rules www.theguardian.com/us-news/live... #bbcpm
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
While Reform UK voters are unsurprisingly heavily anti-migrant, Labour voters who would consider voting Reform – the ones who stalk Downing Street’s nightmares – are still more inclined to blame the rich for their troubles. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #bbcpm
Taxing the ultra-rich may be a vote winner, but it’s just as important to shift the conversation away from Reform’s immigration doom loop www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... #bbcpm
I notice today our local Bodycare branch has a notice saying 'store closed'. i will say it comes as no secret since the shelves have been empty of their staple products for months. www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/is-... #bbcpm
Nigel Farridge may not be 'fascist' but he is definitely far-right. #wato
The US is a backward country and is regressing further under Trump. #wato

Before 7 October 2023, Palestinian prisoners already faced repression, degrading treatment and inhumane conditions - but since then, their situation has worsened dramatically, as Israeli forces impose a regime of collective punishment and isolation. www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/isra... #wato

Also the new route out of Brig on the FO side robs me of local knowledge re the trains' reversal.
An overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars’ association have backed a resolution stating that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of the crime. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... #wato

Somehow when I read Medusa I think Methuselah. Requiem for Methuselah being one of my favourite Star Trek episodes.
It takes away the image of overcrowded rubber boats in the shipping lanes.
I thought it sounded as if we were going to take the piss - which would result in a ruling against us at the ECtHR.
I regret the merger of the BVZ and the Furka Oberalp. MGB have secured new investment, but the FO had a very quirky brand image. I don't like the new shade of red.
Yes, my Son?
Open a processing centre in Sangatte or Calais to accept applications for asylum and offer asylum visas to the UK with instructions for onward processing, conditions and restrictions. #bbcaq
How would it handle a journey from Brig to Visp which could be made by SBB or MGB (and probably now BLS)?
Did SBB/CFF/FSS copy the app or buy it?
I personally recall 1975 as a spring and summer that were uncomfortably hot followed by a refreshingly cool wet autumn. We had a really good summer camp in Morfa Nefyn that year.
Surely the competitors would be those other than SBB?
Diolch yn fawr. #bbcpm
We could undermine the criminal element in our asylum system very easily. Labour won't do it. #bbcpm
The publlc concern over immigration is misguided - and frankly racist. #bbcpm
That said the autumn was very wet and replenished the reservoirs in a few weeks. #bbcpm
The 'Labor Party'. How laborious.

I would be delighted if they could stop referring to 'illegal immigrants' It is an American concept that should have been rendered obsolete by the 1951 refugee convention. #bbcpm

Do we really want to split families up in the asylum system? #bbcpm
How can we reform the way the ECHR is interpreted unilaterally? #bbcpm
1975 was hot and dry too but seems to have been forgotten. #bbcpm
And to stop speaking English. Wir jetzt Deutsch sprechen. #bbcpm
It certainly does. #bbcpm
It's what Uncle Vlad wants. #bbcpm
Why would they court a ruling against ECHR8? #bbcpm

My late father always reminded me that it is not a plane, it is an aeiroplane, as he was taught when he did his national service in the RAF. #WATO
The BBC giving prominence to the false claim about Angela Rayner's stamp duty. #WATO #BBCPM

GPS jamming & interference map - seems like Eastern Europe is circled by GPS jamming. www.flightradar24.com/data/gps-jam... #wato
It is not a plane it is an aeroplane. Americans are too lazy to pronounce the 'o'. #wato
There are of course well-rehearsed procedures for dealing with it. It remains scary and potentially is an act of warfare.
Brief mention of Brexit here, but that is one of the main problems setting the scene for the incoming government. #wato

'Dead reckoning'. #wato
Do we really want to split up families so that they may be refused asylum? If they degrade the right to familly life, how long before families are split up on a wider scale? #wato
Problem is that, if people don't feel Labour has delivered the change they wanted, they might vote for an unproven alternative promising change. #wato
If the worried well pay for a scan it may well find something that needs no treatment but which can be a nice profit opportunity for the provider to treat. #youandyours #wato

Whatever success Trump had was built on insight not into the workings of capitalism but into the darker corners of human nature. He succeeded through scams, lies, and bullying, using the power he had over others to enrich himself at their expense. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-inte... #wato

Actually I think the pattern for New Street Station was Bern, Switzerland but two problems:- 1. New Street is a constrained site in a cutting. 2. Bern's trains are all electric, Birmingham's aren't. Euston reminds me of Roma Termini. Allowing diesels back into Euston was a bad move.
I think that the LMS's 1930s plans for an Art-Deco Euston might have been good. And the BR rebuild had some nods to that though on a much smaller scale.
A good cause but bad choice of tactics.
I have no idea why I typed 'them'.
I thought it looked like the BSI kitemark
In a climate of fear, everyone is at risk of mistreatment – just look at the States observer.co.uk/news/columni...
@thejohnsimpson.bsky.social So you are not the BBCs John Simpson?
Who wants to lose their right to a family life? Who wants to break up families by refusing asylum?
I thinks there may be examples around austerity but I don't support vandalising their Orifice.
Brought a button up?
Like the plebs have Chelsea Tractors.
Hell, where Satan belches fire and enormous devils break wind both night and day, your mind is never free from the torments of remorse and your bottom never free from the pricking of little forks.
What a ridiculous person.
Putin' four main Alaska goals: to excuse Russia’s attacks against Ukraine; to blame the war on Ukraine & the US; to lift the threat of sanctions on Russia; and to get US assent to Russia’s conditions for ending the war. Trump has delivered on all 4 objectives. www.thebulwark.com/p/putin-trum...
You'd hardly know the Guardian had partnered with an AI company 🙄

My bad.
I don't' get that slogan. Also has someone been trying to draw the old British Standards kitemark?
It is not just in death but in life too. There is a shady US trade in foreskins - cut off from normal healthy baby boy - and sold for cosmetics and tissue products. #wato
The Body Shop Currently How can we make sense of a society where human beings are cut up and sold? Conversations with body brokers, scientists and affected families shed light on this murky industry. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
A current Deform poll lead will not put them in office. A split Labour vote might. #wato
The asylum system was in chaos. Labour have so far done the main thing that could have helped. #wato
Despite their relatively tiny numbers, the outsized role that these groups play on social media and traditional media allows them to potentially reframe how we see migration www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
There is no illegal immigration. #wato
Sounded like them. #wato
Christian Nationalism doesn't overlap much with XIanity.
I have this terrible feeling we are heading for far right government due to racist rhetoric and living standards failing to improve. #wato
Interestingly the Livery is like the old BR Inter City.
Ownership structures in Swotzerland may have changed, but historically most of the metre gaauge trains (a large part of the network) and the BLS were private sector.
