🏴📈🚉 #ScotRail has recorded its busiest week since returning to public ownership, with more than 2.1 million passenger journeys made between 26 July and 1 August.
The rise reflects growing demand for rail travel to events, as well as business, shopping and leisure trips. The record week follows June figures showing more than seven million journeys, up six per cent on the same month in 2025.
Additional services have supported major events including the #Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026, TRNSMT, concerts at Hampden and Murrayfield, and Glasgow’s Summer Sessions. Extra trains are also planned for the #Edinburgh Festivals.
ScotRail said the figures showed the efforts of its teams and would support its aim of delivering a reliable, safe and greener #railway for #Scotland.

The #Land Lord's Game
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in...* Australia's housing market >>
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-01/common-wealth-house-prices-land-resource-taxation/106852936* Rentierism
describes an economic or political system where individuals, corporations, or even governments generate wealth by controlling and extracting "rents" from scarce assets, rather than by creating new products or services* Financialisation
"is the process by which financial markets, institutions, and motives gain increasing influence over the broader economy, society, and corporate decision-making. It represents a shift from an industrial economy—where profits are generated primarily by producing goods and services—toward one driven by financial engineering, speculation, and wealth.* Expansionism
Go West - Westward movement refers to the historic 19th-century migration of American settlers to the Pacific coast. Driven by "Manifest Destiny". Colonialism is the physical practice of establishing settlements and taking direct political control over a foreign territory,* Nazis moving into foreign territories (eastern Europe) looking for "Living space" (Lebensraum)
* 'Boundaries bursting" #globalisation - Leaving the "safe operating space" of planet Earth.

‘Common Wealth’ Documentary to Open in Australia, New Zealand (EXCLUSIVE)
#Variety #Asia #Global #News #CommonWealth #VanessaRedgrave -
#Democrats must meet the moment. Or move over for people who will.
#Virginians spoke and deliberated under their influence as well. They took for granted that they, the people of the #commonwealth, had an absolute right to amend their #Constitution as they saw fit. A narrow, #partisan majority of the State #SupremeCourt believes that the people overstepped their bounds.

it's a little unfair to the UK + #commonwealth but otherwise an incredible distillation of how most americans view world war 2 combined with a helpful corrective to that misunderstanding

Curious that #Aotearoa #NewZealand the only #commonwealth country founded on an agreement between the #British Crown and the #indigenous #Māori that protects the customary rights and sovereignty of the indigenous people should base its proposed new citizenship test on countries #UK and #Australia that do not have a treaty with its first peoples.
Obviously the reasoning behind this decision is to avoid upholding the colonial obligations to te #TiritiOWaitangi. #NZPol
