This morning I got a text from GBNews asking me to go on air to "argue with Martin" about heat pumps. Sadly, as I thought it was pleasingly honest about how they make their shows, they then said they'd texted the wrong Jim. Just watched back and it's a cracking staged argument. x.com/GBNEWS/statu...
