Train attack in Huntingdon: Ten injured, police in large-scale operation!

In a shocking incident, there has been a knife attack on a train near Huntingdon, England. On the evening of November 2, 2025, a total of ten people were injured, with nine of the injured believed to be in mortal danger. Fortunately, there were no fatalities. The British Transport Police described the incident as a “serious incident” and is having anti-terrorism police assist in the investigation. Eyewitnesses report dramatic scenes in which a man wielded a large knife and attacked several passengers. One of the eyewitnesses described a particularly bloody scene.

Police were alerted at 7.42pm as the train was traveling from Doncaster to London's King's Cross. Upon the unscheduled arrival in Huntingdon, a large contingent of ambulances and police cars were mobilized to help the injured. Video footage shows a massive police presence and numerous emergency vehicles at the train station, which was immediately closed to traffic. Eyewitnesses also reported that two people were arrested by armed forces when the train arrived.

Reactions and current developments

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed concern about the incident and thanked emergency services for their quick response. Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood was also saddened by the stabbings and pointed out that speculation about the background to the attack should be avoided. While investigations continue, London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has already reported huge disruption on the East Coast Main Line and urged travelers not to travel.

The incident comes at a time when the issue of security and terrorism is becoming increasingly present in the UK. But it is not only there that security issues are explosive. A look across the border shows that serious developments are also taking place in other areas, such as the tech industry. According to an analysis by Corporate Europe Observatory and LobbyControl, the digital industry in the EU spends record amounts on lobbying every year. In 2025, 151 million euros have already been spent - an increase of over 30% compared to previous years.

Lobbying in the tech industry

These expenses show what a big role lobbying plays in the tech industry. Ten large companies alone are spending 49 million euros, which accounts for a third of the total. Companies like Meta, Microsoft and Amazon have significantly increased their budgets. This goes hand in hand with an increasing number of lobbyists, who now exceed the number of members of the European Parliament.

More and more lobbyists are seeking contact with high-ranking EU officials in order to assert their interests and reduce regulatory hurdles. These developments raise questions about the integrity and priorities of European politics, while at the same time security in everyday life is continually called into question.

Overall, the coming days will be crucial both for those affected by the train incident and for the EU's political landscape. The events in Huntingdon and the lobbying activities of the tech industry are signs of the fundamental challenges that society and politics are facing today.
