PM also says he does not believe Nigel Farage or Reform voters are racistHelena Horton is a Guardian environment reporter.Ed Miliband is due to take to the stage to deliver his speech today, and he is set to announce a “total ban” on fracking.I am about to announce something you have been calling for and campaigning on, which is to ban fracking for good. You called for it, I’m going to do it, thank you for your campaigning.What an amazing result for our environment, our local communities, and the thousands of committed people and groups right across the country who’ve spent years fighting for fracking to be banned for good – including the many who signed 38 Degrees supporter Geoff’s recent petition.

4 d. ago ‘My past was chaos’: Iain Lee on abuse, cocaine, comedy, his on

The broadcaster and comedian has been delighting and outraging audiences for almost 30 years. Off-air, his life has lurched from crisis to crisis. Has he finally found peace?It’s nearly three decades since Iain Lee roamed the streets for Channel 4’s 11 O’Clock Show, armed with clipboard and microphone, a string of filthy questions tucked up his oversized suit sleeve. He’s 52 now, and presumably he’s matured since he memorably interviewed the singer Cleo Laine about her husband’s masturbatory habits. But maybe not, because this summer Lee hit the streets again, where among other things, he mimed giving a blowjob to a 76-year-old who said he’d never been attracted to a man.
