I've been working on this investigation for months.
London bus drivers told me some worrying things, including how they feel 'drowsy' in sweltering cabs, and that managers ‘tell them to keep driving vehicles with faults’.

Received a call earlier today.
Me: "Hello, you've reached the Derby Telegraph. How can I help?"
Caller: "Hello, I think I have a story for you. A huge 50m tree has fallen onto my house"
Me: "Erm... yes, we'll have that."

I’m incredibly fortunate that I’ve found a method which limits fogging. I’ve tried teaching it to others but it seems difficult to master. The simplest way to describe it is mask placed as high as possible, glasses as low as possible.

A clear message to the next PM regarding support for people struggling to pay their energy costs from Conservative Derbyshire MP. He says “radical intervention” is needed.
#EnergyPriceCap

#derbyshire
The scale of energy bill increases this winter could put the very fabric of civil society at risk.
This requires urgent, radical intervention. The next Prime Minister must take a practical pragmatic approach. Now is not the time for ideological purity.

I’m afraid it’s all over for the PM. She’s done her best. But across the country you can see the anger. Everyone feels betrayed. Government’s gridlocked. Trust in democracy collapsing. This cant go on. We need a new PM who can reach out & build some sort of coalition for a PlanB.
