We asked the government to clarify or provide the data backing up Rishi Sunak’s big claims on the expansion of #NorthSea oil and gas. They did not. They referred us instead to Rishi Sunak’s comments today, in which he repeated those very claims.

Yes, my wife has a huge stake in Infosys, and yes, Infosys has major deals with BP and Shell, and yes, that's why I issued new oil and gas licences and yes, I can't remember what point I was trying to make...

The Prime Minister’s LBC interview was filled with enough bull**** to fertilize an entire field. If like me you think the public deserve the actual FACTS RT this widely. If UK media can’t get the job done let’s do it ourselves

I think I have been very consistent in my approach to protecting the environment. Yesterday, for example, I flew by helicopter to Norwich to announce our plans to ditch environmental protections for house building.

Where’s this in the news?! Two women have chained themselves to the whaling boats in Reykjavík Harbour after Iceland lifted the whaling ban, approving more killing of fin whales 😟 Whaling must remain a bad stain of the past…. Not part of our present/future #stopwhaling

Rishi Sunak has decided that the £14.9bn of PPE fraud cannot be investigated and has written it all off. This is fraud, theft, corruption on a ridiculous scale. RT if you think Treason charges for all those in involved need to be brought including those who cover it up.

Notes from a civilised country…

You know when you think - it’s bad , it’s actually as bad as it could be , nothing could make things any worse . . . then . . . bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

This intervention from Ford surely leaves Rishi Sunak looking weak & stupid: ‘Our business needs three things from the UK govt: ambition, commitment & consistency. A relaxation of 2030 would undermine all three.’

How many people have actually voted for Rishi Sunak? Net zero.

The mighty Tom Baker's 90 today, so I want you all to sit down quietly and watch this. Feliz cumpleaños, doctooor! 👊

Those asking if ‘The Thick of It’ is writing this election may want to note that today’s Tory immigration plan -shunt it off to an independent body to decide, so ministers can avoid talking specifics in interviews- is the main plot of 2009’s special ‘The Rise of the Nutters.’

Should Ange Postecoglou be worried? 😬
