BREAKING: “The idea that leaving the EU was the answer to all our cares and concerns has clearly been proved wrong."

Keir Starmer says that "wild promises were made" about Brexit.

He adds: "The same argument is now being made about the European Convention on Human Rights"

Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

The chancellor will also highlight a rise in the minimum wage and plans to cut energy bills as she tries to win over voters by focusing on cost of living

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.

1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.

2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.

3. Russia pays everyone for everything.

4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

💡Did you know the NHS is about to pay £21bn+ to private companies? 💸

A staggering amount that could have gone straight into hospitals and front-line care — but instead, it’s lining the pockets of private firms.

“Did Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?”

I do wonder if labour are just chucking ideas at the wall to see what sticks, and what the reaction is.
They just seem to be fiddling at the edges and avoiding the big issues.

Labour’s Cycle to Work limit “risks undoing progress to encourage cycling, decrease traffic, and reduce carbon emissions”, say scheme providers

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
