London is the greatest city in the world but one thing it does lack is a good beach. If we're gonna have more days like this we should 1) clean up the water and 2) build a big beach in inner London accessible by tube. (NYC did this in the 1930s) How about along the shore here

‘By 2028 Italo wants its new service to link 18 cities in Germany along two main routes: Munich-Cologne-Dortmund and Munich-Berlin-Hamburg. It plans to invest €3.6bn ($4.2bn) in the venture, which will include the purchase of 30 high-speed trains from Siemens, a German engineering conglomerate, with the option to buy 14 more. Unlike the fiery red carriages it uses in Italy, those deployed in Germany will be a sensibly conservative blue.’ ‘Christian Böttger, a transport expert at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, thinks that Italo’s case is compelling, given the beneficial effect its entry had on the Italian market. But he doubts that it will get the necessary political backing for its project. Germany’s rail network is already overburdened, he says. Italo’s entry would also undermine Deutsche Bahn’s high-speed-rail service and could knock the wheels off its integrated business model, in which it makes money from lounges at train stations and the BahnCard, a loyalty programme.’

“We want to replicate in Germany what we did in Italy.” Can the former chairman of Ferrari disrupt Europe’s biggest railway market? economist.com/business/2026/…

@BobMailman1 Because it’s sharing a lobby organisation’s video directly which has never been done before

@Stsantek I’ve been in Germany nearly 10 years and couldn’t even run for state parliament unless I were to get citizenship

If a British person went to study in Greece and within 5 years run for Greek Parliament, without even permanent leave to remain, I would be calling up his mother. Ma’am come pick up your spoiled brat. This is malignant narcissism that makes it harder for the rest of us immigrants who do not believe British politics is some celebrity tv show it’d be fun to take part in for a while and British people are not just cattle to be led by whoever fancies a go. I am fuming.

The sheer arrogance it requires to run for public office on a student visa. People should use their own judgement but what makes some feel they are capable of representing local people when they have only lived in a country for a handful of years? Obviously as an immigrant myself

@derJamesJackson all good points he makes, but support Reform? why not Corbyn? I mean i guess Corbyn has been abandoned but voting for Nigel is a bit like voting for AfD. still all valid points.

Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people. Video: @radiosvoboda's reporter Serhii Nuzhnenko.

Kilicdaroglu is currently trying to subdue the Turkish main opposition CHP headquarters through police force to seize the building in Ankara. Real shame. This is the party which has founded the Republic of Turkey.

The size and influence of the Ukrainian far right is overstated, but the attempts to make Stepan Bandera cool certainly don’t help with that

Seems protests against Sudeten German gathering in Brno are not making much of an impact. Possibly the opposite to that intended. (Photo of protestor in ersatz concentration camp uniform by Eugen Kukla on FB). Their main gathering is today. Story: robjcameron.substack.com/p/sudetenland

The far-right Alternative for Germany party in Saxony-Anhalt plans to reintroduce Russian language lessons in schools and resume educational exchanges with Russian schoolchildren if it wins the September regional election, its local leader Ulrich Siegmund confirmed to DW. With 41% support in polls the party aims to remove diversity, LGBT and anti-racism programs from the curriculum. Education policy falls under state authority in Germany.
