Revealed: Vale of Rheidol Railway No.9, back in British Rail blue, with full lining and brass double arrows. It’s out all weekend for the steam gala, as are my launch posters and some original BR station signs that we found in the back of the sheds! vor.wales/blog/steam-fes… 😍

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

The Sentencing Council tried to give ethnic minority criminals more lenient sentences, than their white counterparts. Identity politics will destroy our country. @Conservatives will abolish the Council as part of our plans for Stronger Borders, and tackling two tier justice.

Our deepest thanks to outgoing Chair, Mick Whelan of @ASLEFunion, for his years of dedicated service to the movement as Chair of TULO. From his role in winning a Labour landslide, to negotiating the New Deal and seeing it brought forward in law, to renationalising the railways, to his commitment to fighting for recognition of the State of Palestine – he has delivered for working people time and again. Thank you Mick.

Is this the most useless arrivals board on earth? Euston's arrivals doesn't have the train's platform, booked time, or operator. Or have I missed something? #ASLEFunion #ASLEF #euston #LNWR #Avanti #Euston

Suicides on the railway can have serious psychological effects on train drivers, as new @transportgovuk analysis shows. Some even have to leave our profession altogether. Don't be alone this #SuicidePreventionDay. If you're struggling, contact @samaritans on 116 123 for support

Speaking on rail freight at the TUC Conference - rail freight is still fully privatised, fragmented, and without a clear long term strategy. It's been decades of political cowardice that has led us here, with a race to the bottom. #ASLEFunion #aslef #railfreight #tuc2025
