Jenrick has also been caught out in the stupidest lie imaginable: if anybody actually watches the GB News segment he talked about filming in Handsworth and seeing no "white faces", you'll see that every person featured and interviewed by Jenrick was, surprise, white!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: this is not a Labour government. It is a Neo Conservative government that thinks the continuation of George Osborne's austerity is somehow going to produce the positive outcomes that'll give it long term electoral success.

Some of London’s poorest areas could see their share of the children’s services funding formula halved under Labour’s plans to reform local government grants.

Adam, you should ask Jenrick or representative why he said "in the hour and a half I was filming news there [Handsworth] I didn’t see another white face", yet in exactly that segment filmed for GB News, the only people he featured/interviewed were - surprise - white!

If Jenrick walked around, say, Golders Green and saw mostly members of the Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish community, would he say the same thing?

Or is it only places with fewer "white faces" that he would consider to be "the worst integrated"?

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.

The climate movement’s biggest weakness

What the climate movement is getting dead wrong.

Another astonishing sign of incredible incompetence from the UK Conservatives. They can’t even get right the name of the country they want to represent.

The Israeli government's planned hosting of Tommy Robinson is a reprehensible betrayal of Jewish values and history.

Robinson is a racist street thug. He is no friend of British Jews.

We must never permit the far-right to exploit antisemitism to attack Muslims.

Good to discuss on i24News.

The UK Gov’s expert advisers have shown that investing to transiton from expensive gas to clean energy will save the UK nearly £40 billion every year!

Most people can’t afford the up-front investment, but the UK absolutely can.

Tackling climate change isn’t just about protecting people.
