Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

A quality prevailing in Reform is gross hypocrisy❗️

For years Richard Tice campaigned against Net Zero

But companies led by him since 2011 boast of commitment to saving energy, cutting CO2 emissions & environmental responsibility. One even hired a “full-time sustainability manager”

#ReformHyocrite

Richard Tice has 15-year record of supporting ‘net stupid zero’ initiatives

Firms led by deputy Reform UK leader since 2011 have shown commitment to saving energy and cutting CO2 emissions

Remember when Nigel Farage said, 'If we vote to Remain on June 23rd, it will be the end of the steel industry in this country. It's as simple as that.'

Now we all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it

We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins

With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins
