Attacks from Donald Trump and Reform UK – plus a cost of living crisis – have created a politically tricky conundrumWhat are the critical environmental decisions piling up in Labour’s inbox?This week, the world’s most powerful man claimed that climate change is a “con job”.

3 w. ago Trump v the Truth review – no other broadcaster would attempt TV so daring (and mind

Channel 4’s use of facts to correct almost everything the US President has said since taking office in January is a monumental flex. Sadly three hours of him speaking is deadeningly boringIf nothing else, you have to applaud their commitment to the bit. Broadly speaking, the British media responded to Donald Trump’s state visit with a series of cautious little inserts nestled within scheduled news programming. Then along came Channel 4, which decided to go big, junking off a full night’s schedule to deliver an unbroken almost three-hour, fact-based, point-by-point repudiation of almost every single thing that Trump has said since he retook office in January. This sprawling extravaganza, entitled Trump v the Truth, formed the backbone of what effectively became Channel 4’s Trump Day on Wednesday. Preceding it was episode two of The Donald Trump Show, a weird hour that overlaid an arch Come Dine With Me narration over old Trump clips. And throughout the day, continuity announcers were...
