All but the oldest voters have abandoned the Conservatives, so scrapping climate action and embracing Trump's pro-fossil fuel policies is logical for the Tories. Younger voters despise them and the feeling is mutual.

Badenoch will abolish the committee overseeing climate change, accelerate oil and gas exploration and scrap targets for climate change. She is giving everyone under 75 a firm kick in the face.

This is a party with virtually the same number of MPs as Reform (4 v. 5).

The way the BBC is treating Reform, compared to the Lib Dems and the Greens, is a dereliction of their duty as a public broadcaster.

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month
