Hi Cai,
Great to hear from you. You said a lot of stuff there so I thought I’d breakdown my reply:
1. An elected politician owns shares (worth at least 50% of their salary) in a company where roughly 90% of the profits are from fossil fuels.
At the same time the politician is deriding and undermining efforts to tackle a climate crisis. A crisis which is driven overwhelmingly by fossil fuels. If you can’t work out why that’s a story - I can’t help you.
2. If you respond to requests for comment, your comments get published. You were asked for a comment by my team and you didn’t reply. In journalism, part of the research is approaching people and asking for their side of the story. You can’t whine about a lack of research while refusing to engage.
3. You say “the share price didn't fall” after the net zero announcement. I don’t want to preach to a seasoned investor but clearly UK net zero policy isn’t the only determinant on the share price of a Houston based oil company. The UK market is less than 10% of their revenue (did you not read your shareholders report?).
4. You say “virtually all of Will's subscribers are there for the Reform-bashing”. I am not sure what data you are drawing on here but I am impressed you can divine the motivations of over 15,000 people.
5. You talk about wanting scrutiny, but your party is the only one which relentlessly declines interviews and questions. I have literally written books about the failings of Labour, Plaid and the Tories, and they still grant interviews. By contrast your party, who say they advocated debate and free speech, relentlessly hide and dodge questions.
If you actually welcome scrutiny, why not do an interview with me?
Happy for you to even choose the topics. The NHS? Flags? Stickers in toilets? Up to you.

@LidlGB Thank you, it was the Port Talbot store. One would assume you'd be employing managers with the ability to problem solve and make the swift decision to inform customers prior to entering the store!
Surely if your card machines aren't working @LidlGB You let the customers know before they spend time filling their trolleys and the conveyer belt. Save them the embarrassment. So few people carry cash these days!!
