Thirty years ago today - 6 May 1994 - the Channel Tunnel was officially opened It's worth pointing out that it cost £4.65 bn, when the estimate was £2.6 bn (1985 prices), an 80% overrun. But no one thinks about that now - we have a fantastic piece of infrastructure. #OnThisDay
If Rishi is smart, he'll start taking the Torys back to the centre ground before he announces an GE. If he continues to pander to reform by leaving the ECHR, he will be the leader who removed the Tories from mainstream politics. We all know what he's going to do. 😂 Idiot.
We need to bring in consumer laws that simplify the cost of toilet roll. There's no point giving you the cost per roll, if one roll has 100 sheets (that fall apart in action) and another roll has 1000 sheets. We need a 'cost per sh*t' comparison. Wipe away the confusion!

The people I actually know who are unemployed, are either 100% no quibble genuinely unable to work OR they're not claiming benefits because they are living off savings/getting into debt between jobs. These sods never talk about people NOT taking what they are entitled to.
When the womans sole responsibility was looking after the home and family. Now both people need to work full time to pay for their poverty. Let's go back to this time if you like, but it means HALVING housing costs or DOUBLING wages.....which is it going to be?

Baroness Chakrabarti: Rwanda isn't really about stopping the boats, it's about stopping the courts... & this will lead to Sunak & his chums saying, at the next GE, let's pull out of the ECHR.. Robert Jenrick: I do support leaving the ECHR #bbclaurak #TrevorPhillips
Of course they will, it will take at least two terms to turn this ship around. People might not like it, but the pay off is a better, fairer country. Unlike with the Torys where only SOME ever get the reward.

I've been 'mugged' by more businesses, than I have immigrants. No one trying to get my vote is claiming to deal with that little fact. #LondonElections2024
I fear too many people are overthinking what has been announced today. Plenty of time for detail, but the sense of urgency in @LouHaigh’s plan (Page 14 - Plan for urgent action) is great to see. Best way to re establish trust is to get the basics right. The rest will follow.
There's a bizarre irony in rich media figures telling workers they are paid too much. One key difference between my wage and their income.. ..every single penny I earn is saved or spent here in the UK. How many Tory mouthpieces can say the same?
But the profits from the boom times in rail didn't deliver the boost in national infrastructure that it should have done. That debt in UK infrastructure needs to be paid for us to move forward.

The battle for @UKLabour isn't the nationalisation of rail, that can be achieved by default (non renewal of contracts), the money saving will need to come from stripping away the multiple layers of sub contracting, duplication of suppliers and fragmentation of resources.
The Conservatives have spent years running down our railway. It's time for a long-term plan, an end to fragmentation and investment in our infrastructure and manufacturing.
Labour's new plan for rail, announced by @LouHaigh, will deliver for passengers, communities and the economy. Integrated transport is essential for connecting up the country and improving productivity.
Really enjoying the Tory London mayor campaign highlighting the failure of the Tory government for the last 14 years. The perfect circular firing squad!
Kind of disproves the narrative that these 'friendly' thugs were just on a day out when the 'nasty' police officers came in for a fight. 😂🤦

@TrainDriverIan1 He’s blown it doesn’t matter what he does now , but highly unlikely they won’t be back ; that’s exactly what was said in 1997 and eventually they did …. Same was said for Labour in 2019….
@TrainDriverIan1 He had that opportunity when he became PM in October 22. He calculated (because I don’t think he actually believes in very much) that tacking right was the way to go. He’s now been forced to go so far, it’s not politically possible for him now to go back.
The arrogance of the slimy tories who almost can’t understand why they’re losing so many seats 👏 😂 🤡 Allow me to help you; it’s because the slimy tories are corrupt, incompetent and fucking racist.
@TrainDriverIan1 The current consumer law states that the total surface area should be stated on the roll- those stupid marketers think that by adding the dimension of the tube inside people will think they're getting a fatter better value roll- whats the surface area of a Klingon?
@aManCalledDavid Guess it’s as much down to whoever’s on the desk as anything?
And if railway people tell you about the inequalities of access in good faith, don't drop them in it with their employer. Basic decency.
Someone really decent was bullied off this platform today. Don't attack your allies when they try to explain the reasons/realities of rail inaccessibility. I guess it's an easy mistake to confuse explanation of the facts for implied justification. Try not to make it though.
@TrainDriverIan1 Jeez, don't give the likes of @thameswater ideas like that, they'll find a way to make you pay more - directly to their shareholders.
So the RDG have indicated today they want to look at restarting talks... You'd think there an election or something today?
Good luck to every ASLEF member standing for Labour in today's local elections ✊ We need more trade unionists in councils across the UK, making change for the betterment of working people Use your vote 🗳️ Polling stations close at 10pm and don't forget your ID
Happy to say it was good to get back in the seat this morning and get driving again. Unfortunately I had a fatality a couple of weeks ago. My second now. It’s a risk we accept. Check ride last week, out on my own today I still love what I do 🚂🟩🟨🟩🟨🟩💨
@TrainDriverIan1 This is what political campaigns should be all about
@TrainDriverIan1 Ian, we need to bottom it out. Otherwise there is nothing to go on.
@TTankingto38138 @TrainDriver2017 @TrainDriverIan1 @TheDriverG @FreeTrainDriver I'm a delegate to conference this month. What improvements do you want to see? What has your Branch submitted for the agenda?
I wish I could convey just how much constructive work with management we do, as local union reps, to hold together an industry in absolute chaos. Chaos that's largely the result of ministerial meddling at @Mark_J_Harper's direction, ironically 🤷♂️
Buried in Labour’s rail nationalisation plan👇 ❌Greater control for the unions 🤦🏼♂️More ministerial meddling 📉Leading to *fewer* services Making things worse for passengers Labour would take us back to square one - and the bad old days of British Rail thetimes.co.uk/article/f2db7f…
