Even when global av temps are smashing records it's always colder than average somwhere. Sometimes you can just look out the window but otherwise you can find out where the cold/hot anomaly is currently by looking at daily reanalysis data
Here's today's picture
Not happy about that blue bit stuck over us.

Not much different to now unreliable dirty and expensive.
govt did little to fix it cos it cost money to improve. And government would rather spend the money elsewhere. Keep an eye out for labour nicking the investment money I bet it'll get happen cos the same people demanding nationalisation also demand other spending.
Not from what I remember. Yes they weren't perfect, but nowhere near as expensive or sh*t as now...just from my own personal experience of using train to get down to London and back a few weeks ago...shockingly sh*t value for money.

Poll for Sky about how little people trust politicans, record numbers now do not trust what they say or what their motives are........
Electorate also says it will, in the majority, keep voting for the same two parties and then wonder why nothing ever really changes.
Doesn't polling show about 60% voting for the two main parties.. that's quite a shift.

Network rail and some train operators already ran by state, just will mean rest of operators will do same when their contracts expire.

...and do the free broadband thing...that was such a good idea by Corbyn's lot.

but trouble is you could get a government who is ideologically opposed to the state and thinks everyone should be driving their own car so will underfund it out of existence (or just sell it off again).
Think need to nationalise water and utilities first.

I can remember what the railways were like when they were last nationalised. It wasn't great.
No not great, but better than now, and at least a government could actually do something about it.

I dislike all politicians who choose to insult others by using any form of physical appearance as a weapon.
Sunak is short yes but there is no reason at all to use that to try and win points.
Very poor and all it does it tell the population it is OK to throw insults around.I agree, unless it's coming from Rayner and then it's fine.
-
Rayner is the boss. No wonder they're desperate to get rid.

So when the Ruskies are coming over them there hills, Labour are going to have a whip round to see if we can afford buy another catapult.
we'll just have to hope Trump comes to our rescue. He likes us doesn't he?

Although this from Sunak is kind of non committal too as they won't be there in 2030. Still, this is way it is going with European members of Nato...more money on defence.

I am sure they will - cos telling lies to the electorate always goes down so well doesn't it!
well Labour's is kind of non committal...will increase to 2.5% when and if we can.

It means he has just challanged Labour to match the pledge - thus giving Labour absolutely no money to do anything whatsoever with.
I think labour have already pledged to increase to 2.5% if able to with their fiscal rules...
