@AnthonyW182 @BellaWallerstei Best solution…..

@BellaWallerstei Or Trump & Netenyahu could simply stop being warmongers.

UK must scrap ban on new North Sea oil and gas licences and unleash full-scale domestic production. Fast-track offshore drilling, expand nuclear baseload and build serious gas storage longer-term. We must stop allowing hostile/unstable regimes to hold our economy hostage

@BellaWallerstei It’s a fallacy….

@ClaireCoutinho Green energy is advantageous. China has invested heavily in this area

Ed Miliband has a cult-like conviction in his own climate ideology. He is incapable of admitting that he is wrong – even with mountains of evidence stacking up against him. As the world gets more dangerous, his anti-North Sea fanaticism is making Britain weaker and poorer. Unfortunately, as more and more people sound the alarm, Miliband only becomes more convinced by his own righteousness. Today, the Conservatives will force a vote in Parliament calling for the emergency approval of the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields in the North Sea – two fields that could be up and running by the end of the year. Turning our backs on domestic gas that could heat millions of homes would be madness in normal times, but it is sheer lunacy in the midst of a gas supply crisis. In government, I legislated to protect North Sea oil and gas licences and I approved Rosebank, even though I was told it would have put my own personal security at risk from climate extremists. It was controversial at the time, but to say times have changed would be an understatement. From the wind lobbyists at RenewableUK to the chair of Great British Energy - Miliband’s “clean energy” propaganda outfit - the head honchos of the green lobby say we should drill. The great and good of the Labour Left, from the Tony Blair Institute to the unions and Ed Balls, say so, too. The relative geopolitical stability we have had for most of my adult life is not something we can bank on in the years ahead. We need to pass on a country to the next generation that is strong and prosperous. That means making economic decisions based on rationality, not ideology. The North Sea is a blessing for our economy. When gilt markets are charging you a premium because they think we’re borrowing too much and earning too little, it is incumbent on the Exchequer to make the most of all growth opportunities we have. It is a blessing for our energy security, with the gas making up half of our domestic supply. But it is also a blessing for our environment, as the North Sea is much cleaner than importing LNG from abroad. However, for Miliband to admit this would expose the intellectual fraud at the heart of our net zero climate policy. Miliband’s agenda rests on the absurdity that carbon emissions only matter if they happen domestically. It incentivises the replacement of British industry with dirtier imports from abroad. The fact that North Sea gas displaces dirtier LNG doesn’t matter to our climate bean counters because foreign LNG imports aren’t counted in our domestic emissions targets. This is Net Zero irrationality in a nutshell. Fewer jobs in Britain for more carbon in the atmosphere – and yet to the religiously fervent, they will argue that this is Britain’s example of climate success. This is fantasy thinking we cannot afford. We must fast-track Rosebank and Jackdaw and lift the onerous bans and taxes on the North Sea to back Britain’s energy security. Kemi Badenoch knows it and Keir Starmer knows it. Unfortunately, so far, only one of them has had the courage to say so.

@RichardWellings More cars slower traffic bus lanes work well…… public transport has advantages move many in one vehicle. Makes sense

Buses are hideously slow and inconvenient. You have to walk to the stops, wait around, and can't carry much either. By forcing people to use buses instead of cars they're severely restricting mobility and access to job, retail and leisure opportunities. birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

@thematrixb0t @AnonOpsHub CO2 capture by grass is small. Methane production from cows…..

We need to EAT MORE BEEF to save the planet! University of Nebraska study just proved: Cows are CARBON NEGATIVE Through grazing, they drive grass growth that produces MORE OXYGEN than the methane and CO2 they emit

@HJB_News__ @Marie32123495 Refugees………

In 2003 Keir Starmer won the case that gave illegal migrants access to UK benefits. Twenty three years later, we’re living in the chaos he created.

@AlanVRK @EdConwaySky Production………

@misrab @EdConwaySky Yes, I read that. And?

📽️ There have been many scary, unnerving days in this latest Gulf war. But the past 24 hours was particularly bad. Why? Because both sides are now causing lasting damage to the world economy's life support system. Our latest primer on the econ consequences of this war👇

@AlanVRK @EdConwaySky Production vs reserves… same article

@EdConwaySky "All of a sudden a big chunk of the world's helium just isn't there any more". Good God, man. You do talk a lot of BS. 2025: "the national helium reserve in the United States are sufficient to meet global demand for the next 10 years." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@JKSteinberger The JCVI is a medical body that advised on routinely vaccinating against meningitis. Not politics

Meningitis B vaccine for teenagers is the norm the Swiss vaccine plan. My 13yo son just had it. The UK choosing not to give it is a political/economic choice, not medical choice - one with deadly consequences.

@Mylovanov @alex_house There is no logic hidden or otherwise

Allied leaders stopped trying to find hidden logic behind Trump's actions. They understand any contribution they make will count for nothing. Few days later, Trump will not even remember it happened — Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic. 1/

@TheEconomist Sap USA power… USA spends 3% of 30 trillion on military far more than any other country…. Sap indeed…..

The Pentagon has grand plans to speed up procurement of munitions with big, multi-year contracts. But Congress has not agreed to pay for this economist.com/briefing/2026/…

@DMTMF23 @LBC Maybe not but don’t he stop eight wars?

@LBC Has America ever won a war that they started?

Trump considering 'winding down' Iran war as he calls on allies to protect Strait of Hormuz lbc.co.uk/article/trump-…

@ElizabethFM @LBC The mug on the right is hidden

@RageBaitUK @LBC So nothing new.

@LBC The first day this started, analysis said he will either get bored or humiliated, either way they give it a month tops before he declares victory and moves on - looks like they were right. Iran humiliated him and he isolated himself, now hes leaving others to fix his mess!

@LBC Now bored….

@jemmm85517813 Renewables is the way to be secure……………

Miliband has to be sacked. We need to be energy secure.

@CharlesTannock Sudan….

It's because of the Nazi level of barbarity of the mullahs dictatorship in Iran that I fully support US/IL effort to bring down this evil regime. Takes a lot to convince me under R2P it's OK to attack a country but Iran's murderous gov. is an example where it has no legitimacy!

@JMPSimor The non involvement of Europe is key to avoid widening escalation of war.

Wife beating behaviour.

@MiguelDelaney Money talks. Lesser clubs had points off for lesser. Man City will likely be also treated lightly and retain trophies

Comment: amid all the debate about Chelsea, the most serious point has been overlooked A now-sanctioned oligarch was able to manipulate English football through industrialised cheating - and this is barely addressed The meaning of the payments is as big independent.co.uk/sport/football…

@NickBryantNY @RejoinersRus …a much easier target as was Venezuela

“I will be having the honor of taking Cuba.” To distract from one US military adventure that has quickly gone awry, he raises the specter of another US military adventure that could quickly go awry.
