I'm pleased to see the Government publish their consultation about Great British Railways. Bringing our railways back into public ownership is much welcome & as Chair of Transport Committee I look forward to continuing to scrutinise these plans. 1/2 www.gov.uk/government/c...

After wasting taxpayer money going to the Daytona 500, Donald Trump told reporters that he sent the 2000 lb bombs to Israel for "peace through strength" and admitted that Biden refused to send them. Nothing says "peace" like giant bombs. Bravo Jill Stein voters. 🤦‍♀️

We know that a Third Runway at Heathrow could take years to build. The necessary Development consent order might not be completed until 2028 or 2029. I asked the Aviation Minister about the timescales around a third runway at Transport Committee this morning. 👇

The Department for Transports own assessment from 2017 showed that a third runway at Heathrow Airport would reduce growth at non-London airports by 24%. I asked the Aviation Minister what has changed since this assessment was done in 2017.

Reform have set out a 'plan' for energy which involves increasing taxes on energy sources such as solar & wind, while making it harder to build the energy infrastructure businesses need. They are not serious about lowering energy bills or fixing our infrastructure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My position on a Third Runway & expansion at Heathrow has not changed. As I said on Radio 4, Newsnight & LBC I am unclear how expansion at Heathrow (whether that's a third runway or extra flights on the existing 2 runways) can meet the four tests set out by Labour & the PMs spokesperson this week.

Trump literally leaving his supporters out in the cold while he and his billionaire buddies stay warm and cozy inside is the most Trumpian thing in the history of Trump. MAGA will never learn will they?

Such weird positioning to say people are 'sick of politicians promising the earth and not delivering' when it's her party that's been in power, and not delivering, for the last 14 years. And Labour have only been in office for six months.

If Donald Trump was happy to break the law when he wasn't going to be President in a few days. Imagine how happy he will be to break it now he is immune for at least 4 years.

Israel's bombardment in Gaza has increased massively it appears like they are trying to use every single tank shell, artillery shell, bomb and rocket that they have before the ceasefire. And I bet that is exactly what they are doing.

I explained to my child that he now has to rent his toys off me, he can't buy them because I own them all, and I'm not selling. I've even done a deal with the toy factories so barely any are built. Sounds evil doesn't it? I'm talking about Landlords.
