Anyone else wondering if the Torygraph's got this Bolton born small business proprietor confused with Maxine Peake?

The trains were definitely running west from Huelva in 1981 but the Spanish equivalent of Dr Beeching had been there by 1986. At least the trackbed's being used.

And prior to that the train ran past Huelva on to Ayamonte; even happier days!

Seem to remember the Vila Real de Santo Antonio - Ayamonte doing an adequate job back in the day.

Disgraceful - Fleur Anderson MP was "furious" about sewage before the election

So why won't she sign our letter against *14 years of illegal sewage* now on the table from Thames Water? bit.ly/4abLsX3

@fleuranderson.bsky.social do you still care about sewage?

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

⚠️Thames Water is in crisis.⚠️

Government still refuses to act to protect the public.

Emma Hardy MP has changed her tune since entering government.

Stop protecting the polluters and start representing the 82% of us who want water in public ownership. Sign our petition - take back Thames Water👇

What they promised:

What they're doing:
"Ministers have handed firms £6m in contracts to help devise plans to build a network of new
NHS clinics using private capital, despite fears the move could turn into a PFI-style disaster."

The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬

This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑

Rachel Reeves and Wes Streeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.

Say no to new PFI in our NHS - take action The government’s new 10-Year Plan for Health is proposing to bring disastrous private finance deals back into our NHS.

😡This must be stopped!

Labour's 2024 manifesto promised our NHS would always be "publicly owned and publicly funded".

Now they are talking about reintroducing PFI into our NHS.

PFI would set a ticking time bomb under our NHS that will blow up in patients' faces - ACT NOW.

🚨Thames Water is in crisis! 🚨

82% of us want publicly owned water. If MPs truly represent us, they must reflect OUR views.

Take 1 minute to get your MP to pledge to make Thames Water public. 👇

Fancy a swim this summer? 🤔

You might want to think twice. The private water companies continue to vandalise our lakes and rivers, whilst laughing all the way to the bank. 🤑

No amount of regulation will stop this. We need public ownership NOW!

Screenshot of a newspaper article with a photograph of a Thames Water vehicle behind safety barriers, alongside a figure dressed in orange safety overalls. 
The headline reads "Charity action against minister for failing to act over Thames Water". The sub-heading reads "River Action says failure to publish and put into practice policy on nationalisation of failing water firms is unlawful".

🤞Best of luck to ‪@riveractionuk.bsky.social‬ for challenging Government's failure to act on the Thames Water crisis.
👍Special administration is the first step to getting water working for people not profit.
