    Northern rail franchise to be re-nationalised

    Great news. So glad I drive now and don't have to pay for overpriced, overcrowded, cold, always late and always cancelled trains. Northern are beyond terrible and so are rail services in the North. Hope this will now start a catalogue of train operators stripped of their contracts and taken...

    Question Time

    A much more measured programme than usual. Good discussions about knife crime and the digital services tax. Emily Thornberry spectacularly failing to understand the lessons from Labour's election defeat though.

    Wot no Harry & Meghan thread?

    True. Not going to lie. I'm no fan of the monarchy and would have the referendum Clive Lewis proposed. Accept it's not going to happen and that there's still overwhelming support for the Royal Family.

    Next Labour Leader II

    This night in 1997 is one of the greatest in Labour's history. Oh how I'd long for a repeat of this again!

    Wot no Harry & Meghan thread?

    I take my hat off to the both Harry and Meghan for going private. I just hope this means they don't continue to benefit from some royal perks and taxpayer money. A slimmed down Royal Family fit for the 21st century is what is needed. I hope Harry and Meghan have started a precedent and that...

    flybe

    Not saying that gimmick projects such as HS2 won't cause environmental problems. Clearly it will and yes, you're right to say, that there is a role for short haul air travel, especially in places where there's no viable alternative. On the whole though, I think government should...

    Next Labour Leader II

    Indeed. They need to get back on the ground and in these communities, so Nandy's plans for Labour's HQ to move to the North is a welcome one. It's all very well doing well in metropolitan student towns and cities, but until it reconnects with the voters its lost in Scotland, Northern England...

    flybe

    Never good to see any airline or company struggling and the jobs that go with it, so hope Flybe can resolve their problems. However I do feel government should be actively discouraging people from flying by outlining the clear environmental problems with doing so. Not just that, but also by...

    Next Labour Leader II

    I think Labour's problems are deeper than Corbyn and don't even necessarily come down to ideology. The biggest problem is it's haemorrhaging of its working class vote. Some of that is out of its control with the decline of heavy industry and unions which Labour always made a base from...

    Question Time

    Probably.

    Sir David Attenborough warns of climate 'crisis moment'

    I think Sir David is absolutely right. About time government stopped all the posturing and words and actually took some real action on one of the biggest issues our generation faces.

    Question Time

    Ridiculous to choose an audience on the basis of the "current political picture". So Liverpool overwhelmingly vote Labour and yet there are more Tories in the audience? Surely they should choose an audience on the basis of how an individual town or city voted and actually have local people who...

    Next Labour Leader II

    RLB and Starmer well out infront amongst Labour members voting intentions. If RLB gets in, Labour may as well hand the next election on the plate to the Tories. Do the party members actually care about Labour being electable? Nandy was very impressive in the Neil interview last night. She'd...

    Next Labour Leader II

    Because he would have been unelectable...

    Next Labour Leader II

    Thank god Clive Lewis has stepped down from the leadership contest...
