Let's not blow this out of proportion. It was just an admin error. Two admin errors. A few admin errors. Seventeen admin errors worth £380,000.

The Water Companies in England are literally being rewarded for dumping sewage and building up massive debts to steal all the money.

Disgraceful

Feargal Sharkey is spot on

"The government is terrified of dealing with privatisation and has sacrificed water quality on the altar of shareholders and private equity

The only people who will be paying for this are customers and billpayers"

Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.

This is simply a lie.

Labour knew precisely the scale of the crisis in the criminal courts.

Everybody did.

The backlog was a matter of public record.

But Labour’s manifesto did not contain a *single* idea to address the problems.

And then their cuts to sitting days made the backlog even worse.
"If you knew what the backlog was, why didn't you put this in your manifesto?"
"We didn't know the scale of the challenge."
"Yes you did!"

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors

So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit
