But there is no money for the NHS.

Excellent explanation of why it's not out of line to have march for peace on armistice day.
Trying to suppress a protest against genocide would be a bizarre way to remember the war dead. Sunak has clearly lost the plot.

In 2019, Switzerland led in the number of train journeys per inhabitant with 60.8 travels. Among other countries, this figure ranged from 1.8 journeys in Lithuania to 40.8 journeys in Luxembourg. The EU average was 18.4 trips.
All these numbers were significantly lower in 2021.

R to @catherinerowett: "Energy security" is the new "sovereignty", isn't it?
Promoted as worth undertaking self-harm on a monumental scale for, even though the proposed policy will deliver not one iota of the mythical holy grail.
And in this case the self harm is global, not just to UK citizens.
