Nigel Farage has really gone and done it now. Gone and made Reform run something. In fact, several somethings - and not just a couple of mayoralties in Lincolnshire and Hull. He’s also in charge of 10 councils, including Kent county, where both us Nigels live, having wrestled it from nearly 30 years of Conservative control by taking 57 of the authority’s 81 seats. Had this been a General Election, Mr Farage would now be sitting in No10 as PM, scratching his head over what to do next. But it wasn’t.

Net zero rubbishers lost no time blaming the blackouts in Spain and Portugal on it, even though the cause has yet to be established. That’ll teach the Spanish to get 53 per cent of their energy from sunlight seemed to be the general consensus. These net zerophobes are beginning to sound like Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion fanatics, but without the superglue and traffic holdups.

It seems reasonable to ban trans women from taking part in female sporting events. World Athletics, World Aquatics and the International Cycling Union bar trans women from elite competition if they did not transition before puberty. Same goes for cricket. And trans women are banned from international women’s netball no matter what medical interventions they may have had in the past. But it was really weird when the World Chess Federation jumped on the bandwagon and also did it.

One of my most enjoyable evenings on GB News was spent in Scunthorpe where we had taken Jacob Rees-Mogg’s State of the Nation show. I was unsure how I might be received by the audience of steelworkers and their families given my passionate advocacy of net zero. Scunthorpe’s two blast furnaces, Anne and Bess, belch out 11 million tons of CO2 annually, three per cent of total UK emissions, and some of the people I was facing would most likely lose their jobs when greener alternatives are introduced.
