Imagine Labour were in opposition and two very senior shadow cabinet members, seen as leadership rivals to the leader, had resigned within days of each other. Think how that would be reported - the tone, frequency, and prominence. Now tell me the media landscape is not skewed in this country.

This is so, so bad. She’s taken the very narrow point that domestic drilling may result in oil and gas with a slightly lower carbon footprint than some imports and extrapolated it out to make sweeping claims about UK emissions increasing that are entirely false. So deeply unserious.

Lest we forget... Kemi Badenoch hacked Harriet Harman's website. #pmqs #politicslive news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_poli...
Screencap of BBC website article (25 Apr 2008):

'Labour Deputy Leader Harriet Harman is the latest MP to become a victim of internet hacking.

An item was posted on her personal site for several hours announcing her defection to the Conservatives.

It began: "To friends, foes and fans, below is a copy of the resignation letter that landed on Gordon's desk this morning."

Beneath it was a link to a spoof Harriet Harman blog. Ms Harman was not available for comment.

Her "resignation letter" was based on the statement made by MP Quentin Davies when he defected from the Conservatives to Labour last year.

The site, harrietharman.org, appears to have been taken offline following the discovery of the rogue message, which was highlighted by widely-read Westminster gossip blog Guido Fawkes.

In 2006, then environment secretary David Miliband was forced to shut down an experimental wiki site after it was bombarded with surreal and abusive additions.'

Sorry for the plug but I feel obliged to reshare this. Farage told a podcast before running for election: “There’s no money in politics, there’s no money if you’re straight [i.e. not corrupt]." Around the time he got £5 million from a crypto billionaire before going on to back crypto deregulation.
