Campaigns to get Eurostar trains stopping in Stratford and restart services to Kent stations are gaining momentum amid overcrowding fears at London St Pancras. Stratford International in East London opened in 2009 but has never been used by Eurostar and only serves Southeastern trains on the High Speed 1 route to Kent. Meanwhile Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International have not been used by Eurostar since services were cut in March 2020 when the pandemic began. Now, senior Labour MP Sir Stephen Timms has written to Rail Minister Lord Peter Hendy as he aims to get Eurostar stopping in Stratford to boost the local economy.

Over in Kent, business leaders are urging Eurostar to stop again in the county - with no restart in sight as the operator continues to run only from St Pancras to Lille non-stop and then onto Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam via Rotterdam.

According to a CBS/YouGov poll from earlier this week, Laxalt is leading by just one point, with 49 percentage points' support to 48. According to FiveThirtyEight's polling average, Cortez Masto is ahead by half a point. "I mean, it's certainly one of the country's most close races, but it isn't getting the attention that has been lavished on Georgia and Pennsylvania,' veteran GOP strategist Doug Heye told DailyMail.com. So it's sometimes overlooked, which is odd, considering that it's a real pick up chance for Republicans and that Republicans are becoming more and more confident about winning.'
