@StenaLineUKIE - your webserver needs a reboot or more ...

.@BeeNetwork very misleading advice - the walk is safe but 2.5 - 3x time signed, by which time trams had ended. Driver at Victoria left having seen me - last tram to East Dids (see CCTV!) Would have paid the same amount in taxi 30 minutes ago. Net-zero by 2040 huh?

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right" Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16 How did Kemi Badenoch "earn" her British citizenship when her mum flew over just to give birth, or is that the "automatic right" she wants discontinued for others but is happy to have had for herself?

Fuel duty frozen; bus fares up 50%. All hail the green transition!

That's a tripling only because Tories slashed the active travel budget. Should have been £450 million before slashed. So, this is pathetic from Labour and far from "unprecedented," as earlier promised by @LouHaigh. Steamrollered by Treasury?
