I know we've touched upon it a few times in the last few days but I thought I'd try and put some numbers on how much of an uphill battle Starmer has with the media.
About four million people read the Daily Mail and the Sun in print every day. Online, the number is closer to thirty million. There is also a network effect from that. Its not just about readership, its about the fact that many newspaper readers talk to friends and family about what they read in the papers.
I personally think it is absolutely remarkable that Starmer is
doing so wellnot doing worse. -

Not sure what the advantage of wider use of them would be (routine recording during service for later analysis by AI algorithm/Network Rail staff?) but I didn't hear the original interview.
Go back a couple of pages and you'll see @paininthe giving a good explanation

I wonder if Starmer might regret his quietness on Labour's support for trades unions in the future.
I suppose this just shows that we probably look at different news sources, but I thought Starmer had been pretty solid on his support for trade unions in recent weeks. Its a core part of their policy statements too.
I thought the argument was that he was too quiet on supporting RMT and this specific strike as opposed to too quiet on unions?

Apparently the Twitter chat is that RNT opposed AI driven trains.
Which would be crazy, seeing as there isn't a single AI driven train anywhere in the world...and that AFAIK there has only ever been one proof of concept test and that only happened last year.
Damm those RMT sponges for refusing to implement technology that doesn't exist!

Don't suppose anyone knows what, if any, "technological improvements" the unions are rejecting?
I think there's a clip of our boy Micky Lynch correcting an MP and pointing out that most of the supposed technological improvements had been implemented already. Can't find any reference to what they actually are though.

Have never tried it but am just about to spend the summer in North and South Tyrol so I'm going to do my damndest to seek some out. I think a lot of it is made not too far away.
