Literally 80% of North Sea oil is exported. Even if more were produced, it would be shipped abroad as the UK lacks the refineries to process it. That's just a fact. And yet Coutinho continues to spout party line drivel. Just a reminder below of Couthino's key note speech on Net Zero from just 3 years ago... "Nor can our children flourish if we don’t decarbonise energy, and ensure that the whole ecosystem survives intact for the next generation." The science hasn't changed. Politics has. gov.uk/government/spe…

@BenGrahamUK But ... 2500 new companies created per day in UK. You need to look at gains and losses now in the past to see the whole picture. You are being selective to support your argument ie biased. newcodata.co.uk/blog/how-many-…

Did @BBCr4today really just do a whole package about drilling in the N Sea without once even mentioning #climate change? And not having anyone challenging the one-sided claims of former BP boss? So irresponsible #bbcr4today

Cancelling Doctors is not just a punishment for Doctors. It is mostly a punishment for YOU. They will be replaced by Private Healthcare who are more expensive and provide worse care, because they are only bothered about profit. Or they will be replaced by nothing at all.

#r4today @UKLabour PM if you cut training positions ... you are punishing the UK public. Honour your deals, pay respect to hard working doctors .... like Scotland and Wales, where we do not have strikes.

A particularly petulant & aggressive interview of Peter Kyle by Emma Barnett on #BBCR4Today, claiming that the govt didn't 'need' to raise the Living Wage to £12.71/hr. This, coming from someone whose 2024-5 salary was between £285,000 and £289,000 (BBC annual report).

Bryan Smith #RejoinEU same handle on BlueSky
Penny Mordaunt was on last night's #SkyNews #TheWrap. She kept saying how it was "UK's duty" to re-open Strait of Hormuz using minesweepers, & asking over & over why we hadn't sent any. The Tories decommissioned Navy minesweepers in 2021. Labour is sending minesweeping drones.

Americans, Brits, and Russians need to remember the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine voluntarily surrendered the third-largest nuclear arsenal in the world. In exchange, Washington, London, and Moscow pledged to respect Ukraine’s borders

So Tory zero, Claire Coutinho, reckons Britain needs to be more dependent on its own oil and gas. Slight problem. Her party sold it all off. It's now owned by foreign state backed corporations and multinational companies. @ClaireCoutinho @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @MelJStride

Ministers are reportedly exploring how to cancel dangerous spy-tech firm Palantir's contract to handle NHS data after over 150k people joined me in calling on them to break the contract. Join us - together we can kick out Palantir out of our NHS: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop…

It's about time that Wes Streeting kicked Palantir out of the NHS. Trump's favourite tech giant helps his ICE thugs target innocent people. They can't be allowed anywhere near Brits' private health data.

The government is reportedly considering triggering the break clause in Palantir’s NHS data contract. It's a no-brainer - this break clause is an exit ramp and the government should take it.
