@MartinSLewis @ofgem @itvMLshow Could you ask @ofgem if they would like govt to strengthen their responsibilities as a regulator? Given they are useless at the moment.

[Greg Thompson @Greg_LThompson]

At every turn there is an opp for growth, there is a political split. Is it really any wonder we can never deliver major infrastructure projects?

I hope the govt does everything within their power to push this through without consultation and strongly opposes legal challenges.

💥 NEW: Keir Starmer faces a damaging Labour split over expansion plans for Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton

*Sadiq Khan says he will launch a fresh legal challenge if Starmer backs a Heathrow third runway — a major break between No10 and the London mayor

*Cabinet is divided. Ministers feel bounced by the Treasury. Sources complaining about climate change, air pollution and noise impacts and questioning the growth benefits

*Ed Miliband threatened to resign from Cabinet over Heathrow in 2009 and vocally opposed it in 2018. Eight current Cabinet members voted against expansion then

*But a senior govt source warns ministers they must support the core objective of economic growth, warning those with environmental concerns they cannot be blockers

*Andy Burnham tells Bloomberg it can’t “come at the expense of the north of England,” warning that wouldn’t be “balanced growth”

*other MPs like Chris Curtis of the Labour Growth Group back the proposals

Delusional from a non-league club…many a reason why fans follow non-league football (myself included) is because it’s affordable.

Of course, they will sell out but that’s not the point, these prices are double what they charge for league games.

@GAGNigel @gnwbus Well done! Great news.

[Greg Thompson @Greg_LThompson]

@BOREHAM_WOODFC Hope your keeper recovers from that awful shoulder injury he picked up in the second half!

[Greg Thompson @Greg_LThompson]

Great to meet and welcome Transport Secretary Rt Hon @LouHaigh MP to Oxford yesterday afternoon as we announced our £500m investment for 1,200 zero emission buses. We look forward to working with government, @transportgovuk to deliver on their net zero objectives.

[Greg Thompson @Greg_LThompson]

@A_MClarke I’m there Monday. Would be good to catch up for a coffee to hear more about your work. Lots of our bus companies work with Guide Dogs on a local basis including @BrightonHoveBus.
