Ofcom rules say broadcasters cannot use politicians as newsreaders, interviewers or reporters in any news programmes. So why is Nigel Farage allowed to host his own primetime show on GB News? Demand that Ofcom takes immediate action ⬇️

If RefUK deploys its huge windfall to secure a massive majority at the next general election, they'll not hesitate to use that majority to quickly pass all the extreme measures they've advocated and worse. Labour had a real opportunity to stop them, but they've bottled it.

No. If the acceptability of Rosebank relies on the efficacy of carbon capture technology, then it's not a credible method of clean energy production. Greener solutions must prevail to avoid runaway global heating.

Blair left the Labour Party leadership along with the role of PM 19 yrs ago. That's more than half the existence of your party Zac. He works for an Institute he founded with no mandate and answers to no electorate. He's not relevant to shaping Labour's current policies. But sure, you can pretend.

Talking up Thatcher's achievements in econonics and defence is clearly delusional. Rather, she should be credited with de-industrialising Britain, on the misconception that it would thrive as a post-industrial service economy. She didn't win the Cold War - the Soviet union just unexpectedly expired.
