Ashley Rolfmore (leymoo)<p>Hello fediverse do your thing. The uk government has opened a consultation on the formation of Great British Railways (yes, that big renationalisation of the privatised services). This will replace what is currently in the Grant Shapps plan for rail.

SteveWJJ 💙<p>Violent protests are fanned by people offering simple solutions.

SteveWJJ 💙<p>Well worth a watch. Starmer commands the room. Seriously impressive. Answers questions directly and with authority. We could, after years, finally have a grown-up in the room.

SteveWJJ 💙<p>Rees Mogg has always been arrogant &amp; entitled. Upto 2016, he was largely in the shadows. He came to the forefront with Brexit (ERG), cabinet post&amp;media work. Lost because his constituents could see what he was really like.</p><p>Like a vampire coming into the light - he got burnt 🔥<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/UkPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UkPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/PoliticsUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliticsUK</span></a></p>
SteveWJJ 💙<p>Hopefully now with a new government culture wars and division may stop. Instead of shouting from the sidelines maybe listening will happen.
