Have to say, Ed is right. The Green's philosophy seems to be "We support renewable energy unless it bothers any of our constituents and therefore reduces our chances of re-election .
@ChrisCorney1
2024 Starmer ELECTED AS PM
2019 Corbyn LOST ELECTION X 2
2017 Corbyn LOST ELECTION
2015 Milliband LOST ELECTION
2010 Brown LOST ELECTION
2005 Blair ELECTED AS PM
2001 Blair ELECTED AS PM
Those who won, changed Britain.
Those who lost, just waved placards.
@suzyquiquero
This is normal, journos invited to fly with any PM know they'll be allowed a few minutes to pester him/her with questions during the flight. That said, Keir's expression suggests he regrets letting them on board...
@FTLP_FTT
Yes, it's called tearing up the countryside to lay underground pipe; it's also called finding there isn't enough money to do it the ultra expensive underground way and then giving up, rather than actually delivering large scale renewable energy.
@implausibleblog
My wife, British born, of Indian born parents, noted that since brexit most EU citizens have left UK, to be replaced with recent immigrants from Asia & Africa. She noted this probably wasn't the change that racist "take back border control" brexit voters hoped for.

The way he approaches her swinging his microphone wildly, trying to rattle her and get some adverse reaction. It didn't work, instead he just made himself look like he's on something stronger than caffeine.
@BladeoftheS
Boris Johnson has no interest in becoming an MP, what with restrictions on how and where he gets his money and having to attend Parliament. Nor does he want to become tory Party leader again yet just to serve 5yrs in opposition. Perhaps in 4yrs time...
@IainDale
@NickFerrariLBC
"I decided to try and be an MP because it was one of my 2 ambitions". Not because he wants to serve his constituents or country, or because he has good ideas. Just because it's his ambition. How self serving. Fulfill your ambitions on the public purse, that's what it's there for.

Denya is earning £90k a yr to be an MP, are you saying she's a bit weak and ppl should be extra nice to her because she doesn't know what she's doing yet?
@MrRobertBob1
You ask who cares, well (a) you seem to and (b) you seem to have assumed the gossip about what Charles thinks of the Africa trip is true. Journos, royal "biographers" and self proclaimed inside sources all make money from spreading salacious rubbish. Be more discriminating.
@LeanneMohamad
@wesstreeting
Leanne, you're conflating an 'almost successful' campaign with it not being divisive. Two different things. Galloway won a by-election this yr, successful campaign but VERY divisive. The deep fake audio of Streeting being abusive was hardly a positive, uplifting tactic.
@johnestevens
^^^This tosspot is about to be booted out. Boundary changes mean he's lost the affluent half of his constituency, to be replaced with parts of South Beds, where the incumbent MP is Labour. Starmer was campaigning there (Hitchin) just this morning

I think after Labour form the next govt, it's time to restart the pro-EU mass demonstrations, to convince Labour that a 2nd referendum isn't blasphemy or a vote killer. 8yrs, 6 Prime Ministers, 3 General Elections on, people can change their minds.

The same Shaun Bailey who made racist comments about Muslims and Hindus in a pamphlet he wrote. Why do the Conservatives choose the worst of themselves to run for London Mayor at every election? Do they hate London *that* much?

Clearly you didn't listen to the Irish PM's announcement when he unequivocally condemned Hamas, stated Ireland wasn't supporting Hamas in any way and stated Palestine would be as per the internationally recognised 1967 borders. Answers all your questions.

I definitely remember plimsolls, lol. My family were poor when I was a child, so I wore plimsolls even at weekends and when some of my classmates would see me, they'd make fun of me because I wasn't wearing proper trainers like they were. It taught me not to mock poverty 👍

I don't think your reply could have been more stupid. As you well know, the above people were imprisoned because they fought against injustice, not for self-serving fraud that Trump committed.
@Keir_Starmer
Pls be more realistic/objective re. war in Gaza. If Chuck Schumer calls Netanyahu an obstacle to peace and Biden says he's harming Israel more than helping it, both without being labelled antisemitic, you can too. Tucking in behind tory govt on this issue helps no one.
@supertanskiii
@ElliotHammerSR
Elliot, unless you happen to Belgian, what right do we have to criticise how the Brussels authorities run their city? The Brussels Mayor is democratically elected. Braverman wasn't elected to be networking in Brussels & Farage isn't elected at all.
@MarinaPurkiss
August 2005, I saw him at Heathrow getting off a flight from Turkmenistan, unaccompanied. What was he doing in that oil-rich country run by a dictator?
@robfordmancs
Corbyn says he'd win if in Starmer's position? Might have a point...if he was 25 points ahead 18 days from the election, like Starmer is, Corbyn might win. But if he actually was leader, he wouldn't be 25 point ahead, more like 10 points behind.
@GMB
@NickDixonITV
Nick, why were you standing in the rain outside Heathrow to give this report? The incident happened thousands of miles away and I'm certain there was no one who happened to be standing where you were who had any info to share. Pls stop this silly 80's practice.
@lewis_goodall
@faizashaheen
Why are you even interviewing someone who isn't even a candidate? I wish journalists would take their jobs seriously instead of treating the election like it's a pantomime.

And an independent, international inquiry into Israel's conduct in Gaza and how Netanyahu has prolonged and deepened the Palestinians' suffering for his own political ends.

Don't mention anything to Klass about how a wealth tax would boost the country's flagging public finances. She threw her toys out of the pram when Ed Milliband proposed a mansion tax.

Dude, you're a year late and who knows how many dollars short. "IF" Trump gets charged?? His hush money trial already started this week. You think criminal trials start without the defendant being charged???
@OwenJones84
This man talks about political discourse being a burning skip, yet he ambushes politicians in the street, swinging his microphone in their faces wildly, just to provoke some kind of adverse, panicked reaction that would make for a good clip on his social media. Hypocrite.
@RhonddaBryant
There a many much bigger problems in Britain than this, Chris. I hope touts are well down Labour's to-do list after the GE. Howabout focusing on decoupling price of electricity from cost of gas, so cheaply generated renewable electricity can be sold to consumers cheaply?
@baz_zigar
@Nurseborisbash
Baz, I was going to reply that my wife, British born, is the daughter of Indian immigrants and she has experienced considerable racism in Britain, simply because of the colour of her skin.
But then I looked at your posts & reposts and see you're unhinged, so I won't bother.
@Rod__Mason
Labour have no policy on banning SUVs. As for them being petrol/diesel powered, did you expect them to have ordered a fleet of electric cars the morning the election results were announced?

@RachelReevesMP
Running a business involves microeconomics.
Managing an economy is called macroeconomics. The two are quite different
Running a business doesn't prepare you for managing the economy. If it did, the tories would've made Paula Vennels Chancellor.
Only econ novices don't know that

@timfarron
@GarethBarlow
Very reminiscent of Corbyn's last minute pledge of free broadband for all in the 2019 campaign. Pledging free stuff as an act of desperation. Of all the challenges facing our people and our country, watching free football is wayyyyy down the list.
@little_brexit
@UKLabour
I voted Labour, absolutely loving the past 2 weeks.
Britain back on the world stage, foreign leaders wanting to co-operate with guy who won a huge majority. No more pointless arguing with neighbouring countries. GB Energy and lower bills on the way, end to jnr doctors strike.
@munyachawawa
When Sunak was asked what have you had to go without, he should have replied "For the past 18 months I've had to go without an opinion poll lead."
@supertanskiii
You ignore the hundreds of thousands of ppl who didn't get to where they were headed. I missed a funeral, others had even more vital commitments. And can anyone point to anything tangible achieved in the fight against climate change by these protests?
@MarinaPurkiss
Suspect she wanted some pro-palestinian dialogue that she could later spin into "denying Israel's right to exist". And I bet she would've loved a bit of pushing-&-shoving that could've been portyed as "Woe is me, my life was in danger!!"
@BladeoftheS
A tightly edited clip with zero context provided. What was this exchange about? On what issue was he saying he changed his mind? We aren't told, but we're asked to decide if he's showing contempt to the inquiry.
@SMcPartland
No, my friend, you were most definitely NOT the Member of Parliament "for over 14 years", because you mentally clocked out of Stevenage at least a couple of years ago. You were like the invisible man.
I look forward to having a full time Labour MP in 5 weeks.
@DavidHughesTwit
@SpaJw
40 years of earning, at today's prices, £90,000 per year. Again at today's prices, that's £3.6 Million he's earned from the public purse. How many ppl in this country have had such a well paid job for four uninterrupted decades? Talk about gravy train.
@MatthewStadlen
Tony Blair once said "People say I hate Labour traditions. I don't, I only hate the Labour tradition of losing elections". The hard left seem to love being in opposition, thinking placard waving and pointless resolutions change the country more than actually governing.
@MorganOrtagus
And part way thru the treatment, appearing in public, in front of 1000's of cameras, knowing she has to look perfect or else the media will have a field day with gossip and false theories. We say Royals live a gilded life, but she has qualities & strengths many of us don't.

I had an appointment with a "clinician" at the GP surgery, she told me it's impossible my medication could be causing severe nasal congestion and should put up with it. I ignored her & saw a GP l8r who said it's a common side affect because it's a cheap med, here's a better one.

Does Starmer ask why Kuenssberg has a nose that looks like she's permanently pressing her face against the glass? No, he's too polite and too intelligent.
Kuenssberg possesses neither of those traits.

You forgot to mention that Andrew was forced to stop being a front line Royal, whereas Harry chose to stop so that he could go chase media contracts in California. Or rather his wife told him that's what he wanted.

Gotland has always been seen as a likely choice for a Russian "beachhead" in the event of a Russian invasion. Putting NATO troops there reduces Russia's offensive options.

Given that Netanyahu is itching to start a war with Hezbollah, just to keep himself in power, it seems unlikely that Israel will give up any of its air defences. Unless the US has promised to replace them with something newer and shinier, of course.

That much less air pollution at Heathrow then. It would be nice if you used some of your innumerable media appearances to mention the acceleration of climate change caused by air travel, Mr Calder.

Yes, you've misunderstood that renewable energy from Scotland will never be properly utilised by the Holyrood SNP because they're so wedded to the votes and revenues from the Scottish fossil fuel industry. GB Energy will unleash renewables, across UK.
