A devastating indictment of Ofcom, the media regulator, which has let GB News to pump out Reform party propaganda and drive a coach and horses through the UK broadcasting laws. @arusbridger and I will be discussing this on @mediaconfpod shortly !

Here's the programme-by-programme dossier in which the @TheNewWorldmag reviewers tracked the breaches of broadcasting codes which @Ofcom seems happy to ignore thenewworld.co.uk/the-gb-news-sc…

@EdConwaySky Interesting analysis Ed. Could you provide a link to the OEUK source please? Work they commissioned previously assumed in their "best case" scenario rises in market prices (and therefore consumer prices) sufficient to make resources economically viable.

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea. Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get? Our MEGA primer on the North Sea👇 Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right. Let me know what you think

This is wrong. There is a European international market on which gas from around the world is sold to the U.K. and other countries. North Sea gas is sold at this market price, not at a discount to British consumers.
John Redwood@johnredwood

There is no world price of gas. US home produced gas is so much cheaper than our imported LNG. To save our factories we need to press on with more UK piped gas where supply will be cheaper and more reliable than LNG imports.

Since @Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalist from a wide range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @GBNEWS . Their conclusion: the supposedly regulated channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture: thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

Let’s be very clear the Trump doctrine is “peace through threats, aggression and war”. Only the incredible moron who runs @FIFAcom thinks that is worthy of a peace prize.
Ambassador Warren Stephens@USAmbUK

I met with MP @Nigel_Farage at the Embassy to hear his perspectives on the current status of the U.S.-UK relationship. Nigel has great respect for @POTUS @RealDonaldTrump and the United States. He is particularly fond of the Trump administration’s unwavering commitment to peace through strength. I look forward to working with Nigel to advance the security and prosperity of our countries.

I agree that @TimesRadio should include a presenter who regularly reminds listeners that @reformparty_uk is a Party that promotes climate change denial and anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, and cannot be trusted on Russia.
Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧@montie

I like @TimesRadio but does it have a single regular Reform-sympathetic voice (guest or presenter?)? The answer is no and it makes the channel weaker.
