877 new homes approved in Adamstown today, DART+ South West postponed by the government yesterday despite being shovel-ready. Disaster.
Feljin Jose@Feljin_J
DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

@FredPLogue Now do Metrolink and the Greater Dublin Drainage Scheme?
English
@rory_rutledge @FredPLogue This is simply not true for construction. See the construction timetable Iarnród Éireann was shopping for suppliers with at the UK RIA on page 41. Which showed them commencing South West one quarter after west. And that was issued after the refusal of the depot.
English
@RailUsersIe Also the preliminary business case said that D+ West would go to construction Q4-2023 and South West in Q1 of 2024. And the pre procurement doc they gave to the RIA in the UK put commencement of D+W in Q1 2025, and D+SW in Q2 2025 (on page 41 of the brochure)
English
@RailUsersIe Needs DART+ West before entry into service. Absolutely no reason construction can’t go on in parallel
English
Lot of negative/uninformed comment on the NDP update released yesterday
DART SouthWest requires DART West to be complete before it can start
🧵
English
@rory_rutledge @Feljin_J This confuses “start” as in start construction (which is what the government proposes for 2030) and start (as in enter into service). D+ SW needs the depot before it can enter into service, but could be built in parallel with D+ West
English
Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.
English
It's worse. DART+ South West is actually in procurement at the moment. The documents were published in May. Now what??

@MattRobare @BretDevereaux This seems like a very different claim than the Scottish having little say over the direction of the UK.
English
@lil_cain @BretDevereaux the Act of Union was approved after the English bribed the Scots and there were two major rebellions by the highlanders in 1715 and 1745. Only a portion of the Scottish nobility was incorporated into the Lords and as a unitary state the Scots MPs had less say in the running of
English
The United Kingdom, as implied by the name, is literally a composite state composed of four constituent nations. You know, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
And the 'English' have always been understood to be a composite of Angles, Saxons, Normans and possibly some Celts.
English
@MattRobare @BretDevereaux The core of O’Connell’s career was, of course, Catholic emancipation rather than home rule, and land reform for Parnell. But even if home rule had been their sole goal, they still showed that Irish people could have a giant influence on the UK (as does Carson’s career tbh)
English
@MattRobare @BretDevereaux Burkes had been here for more than a few generations at that point; dismissing them as Anglo-Norman is, not to put too fine a point on it, nonsense. And the Wellsleys had been in Ireland about three centuries when Arthur was born…
English
@MattRobare @BretDevereaux The Irish fared less well, but you still see Burke, Wellesley, O’Connell and Parnell as some of Westminster’s most important parliamentarians
English
@MattRobare @BretDevereaux The English gave the Scots a reasonable amount of say from what I can see? The union of the crowns happened under a Scottish king, the act of union was approved by a Scottish parliament, and Scotland had a reasonable number of seats in both the lords and the commons
English
@grapefruitzzz @TheTuckerTalk @BretDevereaux Although he was raised in, and self identified as being from, Llŷn rather than Moss Side.
English
@grapefruitzzz @TheTuckerTalk @BretDevereaux That’s my point. That a rather large chunk of Britons did not become Anglo Saxon…
English
This is simply and obviously wrong in easily demonstrable ways, from the expansiveness of Roman citizenship to the incorporation of Persian elites under Alexander and the Seleucids (however poorly) to obvious things like the numbers of Scots in key posts in the British Empire.
bumbadum@bumbadum14
Literally every civilized society in history until 60 years ago was ethno nationalist
English
@TheTuckerTalk @BretDevereaux “Britons into Anglo Saxons” which is why Lloyd George, born six centuries after the
failure of Llewelyn the Last, was famously an Anglican who spoke English as his first language…
English
@BretDevereaux Assimilation was key. Like how it turns out Carthagians by the 3 rd Century BC were just Sicilians according to their DNA. People adopting a common set of values. Britions into Anglo Saxons etc.

@danielmgmoylan @ShannonAirport Was asked for a passport last time I got off the ferry at Caer Gybi. Clearly not a solely one directional agreement
English
Yesterday I arrived at @ShannonAirport on a direct flight from London and was asked to queue up to present my passport.
I always am.
Is the Republic of Ireland unaware that she is in a Common Travel Area with the UK or are the benefits of that arrangement purely one-way?

@donnchup @Plaid_Cymru @theSNP @sinnfeinireland An chuma ar an scéal ná bacann siad le hiarrathóir sa cheantar so de ghnáth, agus nár bhain siad suíochán ann sa 90 bliain atá sé ann
@donnchup @Plaid_Cymru @theSNP @sinnfeinireland Ní raibh Plaid Cymru riamh róláidir i nGleanntaí an deiscirt, ná sna cathracha móra.

Feictear dom go bhfuil "náisiúnachas" @Plaid_Cymru ag déanamh chomh maith le "náisiúnachas" do chuid @theSNP agus @sinnfeinireland

@Charloch0506 @LucyJayneWhite1 @marksandspencer This is how I feel when I hear English in Northern Irish or Welsh shops.
English
@LucyJayneWhite1 @marksandspencer It’s alienating to hear ship assistants speaking in a foreign language in a British store. I wouldn’t shop in stores that permit this.
English
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language.
I asked them “What language are you speaking?”
They responded “Hindi”
I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S.
We must confront them every time.
English
@DiscountMabs @Eyeswideopen69 No, it’s not. Plaid do better. The SNP do better. Northern nationalists did better in the 40s in a statelet designed deliberately to minoritise them, before one person one vote and during the height of Gerrymandering.
The average Cornish person just doesn’t care that much.
English
@lil_cain @Eyeswideopen69 Right because MK is the sole example of Cornish nationalism. Actual clown behaviour. All MPs elected here are pro-cornish nationhood. MK is not well funded nor widely spread here, its competing with well funded parties. The fact it gets 6 council seats is impressive.
English
1. You were 100% Tory-run in 2023
2. You voted massively for Brexit
3. You received over £1 billion in EU funding from 2000 and were to receive another £350m after 2020
4. Instead, you got £18 million from a Tory government you voted for
5. You did this to yourselves.
Cornwall is a Nation@YesCornwall
Reasons why Cornwall must be recognised as a nation and have our own devolution: 1. We have no power to change things 2. Our priorities will never be Westminster’s priorities 3. It’s our right as a nation
