@WestMidRailway @WMmetro Hello - my 14:50 train says cancelled but appears to go as far as droitwich spa. Will this happen or should I seek alternative travel arrangements from Birmingham?

📣 #WMRINFO: Due to overrunning engineering works services will be affected 27/12. Services between: Birmingham New Street - Shrewsbury Walsall - Wolverhampton 🎟️ Ticket acceptance with @WMmetro: Birmingham - Wolverhampton 🚋 Replacement bus services: Wolverhampton - Shrewsbury

This was truly terrible from Sunak. But let’s not kid ourselves - had Brianna’s mum not been there today, no-one (including Keir Starmer) would have batted an eyelid. It’s not good enough to stand against transphobia only when the mother of a murdered trans girl might be listening. It needs to be done all of the time.

Lesson of the week: dogs never lie 🐕🐶 #eventprofs #festivalseason #leedsfestival #eventmanagement #festivals #eventsecurity #eventsafety 3/3

It was really rewarding to see the complexities of the new plan come together in the days leading up to the festival. Great to see the search dogs, security, police, event control, and management each playing to their strengths every hour of the day. 2/3

Had a fantastic time last week working with @FRfestivals on this year's @OfficialRandL Leeds Festival as a Zone Manager. This year saw big changes to the bag and drug search process at the gates I was managing. Our aim was to create a safer environment inside the festival. 1/3

🔴 This is Rigged climate protesters have targeted the Scottish Parliament - spray painting it red. The protest is in reaction to the UK Government's intent to sign off on hundreds of new oil and gas licenses and the Scottish Government's 'deafening silence'

"We're speechless" Exclusive: A leaked government document has exposed transphobic draft policies for UK civil servants. The new rules will block most trans staff from using single-sex spaces such as toilets, and force staff to accept anti-trans views. vice.com/en/article/3ak…

A real joy to join hundreds of fabulous women in the Scottish Parliament yesterday for this brilliant event by @ElectHer_UK. I couldn't have described it better than @talatyaqoob - it was truly soul-nourishing.
