- Comment on BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage 4 days ago:
Reform lead 12 councils, and have 881 councillors. Historically, it was the biggest party in the European Parliament after the 2019 election. It’s wishful thinking to carry on as if they’re a negligible factor.

Quick note to say legally speaking Nuremberg trials were kangaroo courts, and many prosecutors and judges were uneasy about the whole thing because many of the offences were not illegal in the Third Reich, and international law wasn’t yet developed enough to make them offences in a wider sense. That said, Nazis deserved a comeuppance and subsequently international laws were made more useful. But Nuremberg should never be held as the gold standard of jurisprudence.

- Comment on Paper and mobile train tickets to be replaced with GPS tracking in new travel trial 2 weeks ago:
a) prices are set at a level that balances the oversupply at off-peak times and the under supply at peak times. The solution to this is to build new rail routes but the NIMBYs have taken over.
b) peak demand occurs at different times at different parts of the network. Operators do make those times available.
c) these will be gone when franchises are rolled up.
d) that’s already in the T&Cs of advance tickets
If the train you purchased a ticket for is cancelled or is delayed and you still decide to travel, special arrangements will be made to accommodate you on another train (although a seat cannot be guaranteed).
