My opinions are my own

@connor_naismith Well put

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@ModerateLabour1 Stupid to vote against government, would be genuinely shocked if this doesn't happen in the next 12 months, everyone agrees it needs to go

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@SkyNews What was he supposed to do, turn Microsoft off and back on again?

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@LeftieStats It wasn't after pressure, they said as soon as they got into office they would review the evidence and make a decision.

A government with a 170 seat majority doesn't get pressured by anyone.

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@afneil Well I'm assuming the plan is to create sufficient battery capacity to alleviate that issue.

It's like saying what happens when oil and gas run out.

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

The most working class government in history, led by a working class Prime Minister?

@AndrewMarr9 explains how @Keir_Starmer's upbringing influences his politics.

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@sophielouisecc So why hasn't the conservatives done it in the last 14 years? The problem didn't start the minute the election happened

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@DPJHodges It's mad how they can possibly argue this only a week after losing power. After purposefully delaying this decision solely to make Labour look bad

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@ian4downton Nope, she's decided to spiral into unhinged moaning

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

Labour going in hard

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

NEW: Labour government to put failing water companies in “special measures” to make them clean up Britain’s waterways with new legislation expected by industry

- banning bonuses for worst polluters
- potential criminal charges for repeat offenders
- tougher monitoring of sewage outflows

@AaronBastani A party with 1% of the governments MPs don't get to make demands

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@LeftieStats It literally says "social Rent" that's council houses is it not?

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

The onshore wind ban has been in place for 9 years.

We've been in government for 72 hours, we've lifted it.

That's the pace we're going to move at.

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

Brilliant stuff

[Adam Vaughan @adamvaughan_uk]

Wow, that was quick.

The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power.

Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals"

@CamillaTominey I think his 170+ seat majority says he has all the authority to do whatever he likes

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@BGatesIsaPyscho No, they just targeted their vote share in the right places, rather than thinly spreading it across the country.

[Benjamin Capewell @BCapewell1]

@SarahJayneKeny1 @PickardJE @pmdfoster Given his appointment of James timpson as prisons minister, I would say yes

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to set out an extensive package of pro-development planning reforms within days, as part of plans to “get Britain building again” and address the country’s acute housing shortage
