Why do @BBCNews have to reference reports by BBC Verify Can’t the BBC give their own factual information
Tony Benn’s 5 questions: ▪️What power have you got? ▪️Where did you get it from? ▪️In whose interests do you exercise it? ▪️To whom are you accountable? ▪️How do we get rid of you? “And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”
Defra Secretary of State for the Environment claims "Pollution in rivers in Scotland is worse than in England". Err! No it's not. Do I feel an apology coming on?
Why are Labour talking down Scotland?
When I was elected @unitetheunion GS, I promised to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel and Conference Centre. I can now provide information from the independent inquiries I commissioned, through this…

A stunning claim from the Treasury’s Family Farm Tax impact assessment. They say it will have “no significant impact” on family life. Have the treasury spoken to a single farmer? It is already causing a huge amount of stress and anxiety amongst our hardworking farming families
Good Question by @NJ_Timothy but sadly Ministerial answer harking back to 2022, and other obfuscations fails tomake our roads safer Cycling: Safety: 21 Jul 2025: Hansard Written Answers - TheyWorkForYou
🔵We look forward to working with @JamesCleverly as our new Shadow Secretary of State. With his experience in local government, not least as a former Chair of the London Fire Authority, we know he will have lots to bring to the Conservative local government table.
Tory reshuffle: James Cleverly to shadow Angela Rayner as shadow MHCLG secretary Kevin Hollinrake to become Tory chairman Stuart Andrew moves to shadow health, replacing Ed Argar Nigel Huddleston taking over as shadow DCMS Secretary
And this is why cycling is the best. Struggling to think of any other quite like it. The thought you can just rock up with your bike and your boy and cycle together along or in this case up the exact same route that the legends of yesteryear have ridden before you ❤️
"I remember just sitting on my dad's wheel the whole way up from Chalet Reynard because it was a block headwind and he towed me to the top" Jake Stewart reminisces about riding up Mont Ventoux with his dad in 2010 🏔️🇬🇧 #TDF2025 | @paulo_stewart
Point of Order on the government's grooming gang inquiry silence👇
36 days of silence on the rape gangs inquiry. Today on the final day of parliament until summer recess, the Home Office have provided no update to Parliament about progress on the national inquiry into grooming gangs. The government completely fails to understand how fragile…
'Case Id Status 1306829 Intervention by Road Policing Officers'. This is the report from one of my close overtake reports! anyone had this reply, what does it entail, exactly? @SaferRoadsYorks @MikeyCycling @Bikery1966
TODAY'S LESSON ON GETTING CAUGHT OUT AND AN APOLOGY TO @krishgm Govt claimed yesterday that the £100 billion cost to nationalise the water industry is accurate and that the figures did not come from water companies. Really? Let's see shall we. On the 23rd July 2024 Baroness…
I genuinely find this baffling. The Catholic Church’s position on assisted dying is clear and well known. Coghlan says “we’re not here as Catholic MPs, we’re here to represent our constituents”, but surely he’s following his conscience? Which is clearly… thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Well, we made one big mistake: failure to attend the meeting in wellies. The bullshit was knee-deep. It will cost £7.5M to abandon Queensbury Tunnel, subject to planning permission.
The Secretary of State for the Environment has spent a lot of time the last few days claiming that he has secured £104 billion private investment from the water industry. Which is really odd as yesterday the MP for Keighley and Ilkley told parliament that £93 billion of that…
