You’re a fraud Nigel Farage.

Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.

Temperatures are set to drop overnight, so if you are out on the roads, please take extra care and drive to the weather conditions.

Even if roads have been gritted, it's still important to remain cautious, particularly on rural roads.

no but seriously...

Plant-based diets have consistently been shown to carry significant health benefits when compared to meat. Meanwhile, the consumption of animal products can increase the risk of a number of chronic illnesses, including heart disease and some cancers.
