I’m sure everyone is asking the same two questions as me about this.
1) Why have performances at the recently renationalised train cos worsened since switch?
2) Why wasn’t Avanti moved to DFT ownership in October when its initial contract run out? Private contract is extended?!
Tomorrow at @UKLabour Conference, I will announce that we will nationalise Avanti West Coast train services at the first opportunity.
We are building a railway Britain can rely on.

Nottingham Forest are playing Southampton in their training kit this afternoon. Can only expect it was some kind of kit mix up/issue, in typical WSL fashion.

A new chapter begins at Holywell Town FC.
We would like to thank Simon Rose for his leadership and commitment as Chairman, as he moves into a new role as Consultant Director.
Tracey Jones will step up as the club’s new Chair.
💙 A huge thank you to our friends at @SonyUKTEC and @istadia for making it possible for fans to use the Playstation 5 on our jumbotron yesterday at the Big Bont Bash.
Plenty of the brand new @EASPORTSFC game was played before the match on the big screen and we saw some very exciting matches.

The detractors will say “yeah, they got a crowd because they had a fun day and it was international weekend.”
Sure, numbers will probably be lower next game. But this is a hell of a showcase for the league and the power of hard working football people.
Well done @PenybontFC_

Pilgrim Pete is pleased to see me!
Glad to be back at Home Park for the second time so far this season to see Plymouth Argyle and Burton Albion for Five Live.
Argyle could go top.

28 years to the day since I almost tumbled backwards… as I told astonished Radio 5 listeners that Paolo Di Canio had shoved a referee who then went sprawling. Such was the mayhem that erupted that I failed to see instantly that Arsenal’s Martin Keown was also sent off.
Spectacularly successful year for Goalhangar Podcasts Ltd, who operate ‘The Rest Is…’ series and generated almost £38m revenue and £10m profits in 2025.
