My column on Tory leader shopaholics, regicide dreams, and Thursday’s elections

At least four protestors ejected during Coutinho's speech. The disconnect between the optimism on display from clean tech innovation today and the opening panel of climate scientists saying it was 'heartbreaking' how they were ignored for so long suddenly made very visible.

Is there anything more cynical than the Evening Standard, pretending to be vaguely progressive every day, to not piss off its readership, but always SOMEHOW arriving at the position of endorsing the Tory candidate every 4 years - even a dangerous and racist climate-change-denier?

Ticket touts are ripping off fans & pricing ordinary people out. Yet the Conservatives do nothing.
 
A Labour government will act and tackle the touts.

Spare a thought for poor Count Binface this Thursday. Years spent establishing himself as a joke candidate for London mayor, and then the Tories run Susan Hall.

Lord Houchen of Johnson takes the same approach as his ennobler and indeed the current PM who loves him so much. Don’t deal with the facts. Deny the facts. “The report doesn’t say that”. Yes it bloody does. This man and his mates have taken Teeside for a very big ride

Good interview with NHS Chair Richard Meddings in which he is clear that lack of capital investment is the main cause of productivity problems.

Oops.

Our government's ignorance of the law catches them out again 🙄

A secret, unpublished memo from Margaret Thatcher’s tax-cutting chancellor Nigel Lawson - whose portrait Rishi Sunak hung above Treasury desk - warned against merging NI & income tax b/c it would “create many losers” incl pensioners 👀

Brilliant, Lucy Frazer just walked through the division lobby with Labour to support action on ticket touts against her whip. #SurelySomeMistake

The Tories have changed the voting system for #LondonMayor so you only have one vote.

I would encourage everyone to vote tactically on 2 May to ensure we do not end up with a Tory Mayor.

That’s why Sadiq Khan has my vote.

Green/Lib Dem voters - For the first time the Mayoral elections in the WM is First Post The Post, meaning if you don't vote for either Labour or Conservative, your vote is wasted.

You'll be putting shy Tory Andy Street back into power! Please lend your vote and stop this.
