Evening, #Ofcom. A British politician is advertising, in advance, that his "full verdict" on the Prime Minister's speech today will be given in his own programme, which carries his name, on GB News tonight. Aren't News channels supposed to show due impartiality? 🤮 x.com/Nigel_Farage...

Andy Burnham promised to repeal Margaret Thatcher’s “ideological ban on public ownership of water companies". That's a very, very long way from a clear, simple "We shall renationalise the Water Industry", isn't it? 😢

Andy Burnham knows that sane people don't want any more drilling. They want proper investment in renewable, clean energy. Big money doesn't want that. So the PM is kicking the can down the road hoping that something - anything - might save him. Send him a message. No more dithering! Vote Green!
