RT @marcuschown: How come the British embassy staff have been evacuated from Sudan, leaving 2-4000 British nationals.
Surely, the embassy staff should be helping everyone else to leave? I thought the captain of a sinking ship is supposed to be last to leave the ship?

This is ridiculous. The man could walk or use the underground train.
What is his problem?
That he has no democratic legitimacy perhaps?

RT @cambsforeurope: What we learned from yesterday's Parliamentary debate on a public inquiry into the impact of Brexit is that Brexiters really, really don't want us to talk about Brexit.

So let's keep talking about #Brexit!

RT @ToryFibs: I prefer the Green Party’s £70 billion wealth tax policy to Starmer’s ‘freeze energy bills at record high’ policy.

It just seems a fairer way to move forward to tax the super rich than expect those in fuel poverty to grim and bear it.

@westontiger2005 @CarolineLucas @TheGreenParty @euromove Greens don't want those opt outs. We need to be part of a generous project not a mean one. We were a bad penny.

@DavidRobjant Though even staying outside schengen should not have prevented this. They do passport checks on the night train from France to Italy (I've had them recently) and they used to do them on the sleeper trains in my youth. You just pause at a border post and do the passports on board.

RT @GreeningWyndham: Excellent workshop with @RupertRead & @catherinerowett this evening in Wymondham discussing how we can prepare for climate change.

Great ideas from local people including setting up a community hub.

Thanks to all participants.

@DavidRobjant A through train from Paris, however, with sleeping cars, would indeed be good.

@DavidRobjant If the journey's already 8 hours or more, there's less value in adding hours, and you need to recognise that from London to Holyhead is relatively quick. It's unlikely that there'd be much uptake from there whereas joining points across East Anglia would be valuable.

@DavidRobjant Or actually, revise that. Probably simpler if everyone boards at either Harwich, Manningtree, Ely or Peterborough, rather than bringing separate coaches from Norwich and Cambridge. Then we can just divide the train to two destinations in Wales. Coming back we'd link two trains.

@DavidRobjant One coach each from Norwich, Harwich, Cambridge, Ely and Peterborough, hitch together at Peterborough to make a single train, reaches Holyhead at breakfast time. But ideally we'd want twice as many coaches, so as to split it and send some down the Aberystwyth line.

@rachelbbridge All the cross country routes need bigger, longer, more frequent trains with proper facilities. It's a disgrace. But the 8-12 hour trip from Norwich to the West coast is crying out for an overnight train so you could wake up fresh in God's own country 😍

It would be good if there was a sleeper train from Norwich to Holyhead. And Norwich to Aberystwyth.
