The North has been held back by out of touch Westminster politicians. Let’s hand power to northern communities to manage their transport systems.

I was there because I wanted to see a fitting memorial to everyone who has died in every terrorist incident everywhere.

I don’t mind what Congress does, as long as they don’t do it in the streets and frighten the horses.
