25 years on. Still remember that day. I always wanted to see New York, see the towers I’d seen in so many films…and never did. We’ve to been New York twice now, and look forward to going back again when things are different.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social a masterclass in tearing apart a Reform voter who clearly has only the spoon fed lines and no conception of rational thought.
Well done, sir, well done.

Early walk with the boys as it going to be a scorcher today. Far too many people still walk dogs at ‘their time’ ignoring heat, because they don’t think.
Meanwhile I have work later at the hottest part of the day!!! Happy Sunday from JayDee and Bruno🐾🐾

Yes, Prime Minister

I enjoyed reading this column, which somehow blames Keir Starmer for the result of an employment tribunal following laws passed under the Tory government regarding an incident and suspension that took place before the last election.

So Trainline:
❌ Hides cheaper fares
❌ Charges booking fees
❌ Hands £5.7m to the CEO
Huge credit to Laurence Turner MP, who exposed these practices at the Transport Select Committee.

Laurence Turner MP just exposed Trainline for hiding cheaper ticket options AND charging booking fees.
Why are passengers paying extra to a company already handing millions to its CEO?
Serious question.
