The Channel Tunnel is woefully underused. But could that be about to change? Our CEO Ben Plowden has written this piece for @thertmnews about the great potential of international rail. #TrainNotPlane ow.ly/SHSa50YI5fz

Buses are essential for transporting people to work, as well as to education, healthcare and social activities. We are campaigning for better bus services, more bus lanes and #BetterBusStops.

Such a great idea. Has it been well promoted so more can take up the offer?

@elonmusk We don't need saving Elon... now go back and play with your cars...

This is the only way to save Britain. There is no other.

@JohnSimpsonNews @keanerthanever1 Everyone report the keanerhanever1 please to have him blocked.

‘Don’t worry you old cunt you haven’t got long left’, @keanerthanever1 tweets to me. He calls someone else ‘you scrounging obese low iq mess’ and a third person ‘another lying spineless cunt’. Elon Musk’s X doesn’t seem to mind…

The Government is changing the rules for rail ticket refunds to help tackle fare evasion. From April, if your plans change on the day of travel and you can't make your journey, you will no longer be entitled to a refund.

@GoodwinMJ Not your fault again Matt......

This is not democracy. This is coercive, sectarian politics dressed up as democracy We are in deep, deep trouble

@GoodwinMJ So sad so many of the British Public, with a vote, think Reform is the answer with no idea what they would actually do as devoid of policies and filling up with failed Conservatives 🙄. Can we just leave it to the kids to vote. They know better...

In our latest blog post, Jess writes: "I live in a village which has just one bus into town each day and one bus back. It's very precious to those of us who use it, but not many people do because it's so infrequent." Read more: bettertransport.org.uk/blog/buses-bri…

Christmas donations this way please. Mind the doors.... #donatenow

A corrupt shambles....

@UK_Needs_Reform They always have been...

This man oozes common sense 🙌🇬🇧🙌 Agree or disagree?

@robprogressive @annavanpraagh Seems sensible? As they're richer, they contribute more...?

But the top 1% of UK taxpayers now pay 33% of all income tax

Everyone screaming tax the rich, but let that sink in 

That’s just 500,000 people contributing £93.8 BILLION in the 2024 tax year A £150k earner pays £53,460 in tax A £25k earner pays £2,486 It takes 21 people on £25k to contribute what one person on £150k does So when Labour talk about ‘making the rich pay their fair share’, they already are Keep hammering high earners, entrepreneurs & business owners, & they’ll KEEP leaving Dubai, Monaco, Portugal are all rolling out the red carpet And the budget looks like it will only get worse 

The UK doesn’t need higher taxes, it needs spending wastage cut, better incentives to build & invest & a full cultural shift AWAY from the politics of envy

@afneil So what would you do Andrew? Who would you really like to see lead us?

UK inflation dips to 3.6% year on year in October, down from 3.8% in September. Looks like a slow return to the 2% Bank target.
