We all want better services and faster response times. Beware scunners offering easy solutions with no consequences. In #England #Labour are selling the #NHS down the river (the one they think we just floated down). Don’t let them do it to Scotland. Streeting in England is not being paid hundreds of thousands in sponsorship by the private healthcare industry for nothing.

That's how you fail in that market.

In a wildly retrograde step, Royal Mail are retiring their Mail trains (to be replaced by slow, unreliable road haulage). This coming at a time when multiple operators are investing in rail for same-day parcel freight delivery. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why Royal Mail’s decision to stop using trains is another nail in their coffin
