Mark Sampson

@mirminx The irony of this post , he’s been caught lining his cronies pockets with the about to be aborted Chagos deal

Finally we've a PM leading us who's not lining the pockets of his mates (BJ & Gove et al); caring about the electorate not just Labour voters; treating us with respect (BJ broke his own Covid laws); not causing unnecessary mortgage hell (Truss); working not acting for the cameras

@UKLabour Definitely voting Reform now after seeing 30 years of decline in Labour run Salford

Don’t risk Reform running your council from May. You can’t trust a word they say.

@DeborahMeaden Let’s have some stats then please, renewables give us what percentage of our energy consumption?

No idea why these guys don’t like clean air, energy security and a future for the next generations…and…

@JohnRentoul Starmer’s gone glory hunting. Whatever next?

Those who have served in the police will be familiar with the occasional lightweight who would never volunteer, keep a low profile and turn up at scenes just as the combatants were being loaded into the van. And now that spirit is embodied by our Prime Minister.

@GayTory It’s very much out there campaigning on the doorsteps, Salford branch have a candidate in every ward for May

@teelingbart @GaryMcG1888 Divide ten houses between ten families then divide ten houses between twenty families, funnily enough the same thing is happening on council estates across the UK

@GaryMcG1888 When did the Irish right become so afraid of brown skinned people, they blame the housing crisis on them?

When did the Irish Left become such snivelling little bastards? Lefty, middle class socialists condemning working class Irish men and Irish women because they’re protesting against the rising cost of fuel in this country.

Absolute nonsense... Solar has a capacity factor of 10% in the UK. It needs a huge amount of backup. It also creates a lot of intermittency which is driving up balancing costs, and is expensive to connect since it has very low energy density Building lots of wind and solar is the reason the UK has the highest electricity prices in the developed world...

@KathrynPorter26 @jonburkeUK Did you get all that Jon ? 😂 Jon needs to stick to selling magazines

UK gas production does lower bills so no, it's not debunked, it's a FACT Displacing the most expensive LNG cargoes will lower NBP and in the summer we could remove LNG from the UK grid altogether It will also halt the haemorrhage of jobs in the UK oil and gas sector, bleeding at a rate of 1000 per month

First they said ‘new North Sea oil and gas with bring down energy bills’. That was debunked. Then they claimed ‘it would generate loads of tax revenue’. Also debunked. Then they claimed it would create new jobs. Yes, debunked. Now we’re onto tiny new investment claims…🥱

Actually it will - by displacing the most expensive LNG cargoes we lower NBP People wrongly assume: - all LNG costs the same - it doesn't - the UK gas price is some "global" price - it isn't LNG cargo pricing depends on a range of factors. Is it contracted or spot? Where is it coming from (affects the price of the gas, the liquefaction and the shipping costs)? Did it divert? And so on UK gas typically prices at a discount to the main European benchmark due to North Sea production. The European benchmark and Asian benchmark take it in turns to be the most expensive. The US has the cheapest price of the main global markers The UK has limited pipeline capacity with Europe and no liquefaction capacity so the price difference between the UK and Europe cannot be traded away

🚨NAMED AND SHAMED This is Judge Elizabeth Ruddick She just let an AFGHAN migrant who ATTACKED a Mother and a 14 year old girl with a WINE BOTTLE in the street REMAIN in the UK She claimed he was receiving medical treatment on the NHS and is no longer a threat to our society INSANE Judges like this should lose their license to practice APPALLING DECISION

@piersmorgan Won nowt for twenty odd years

Memo to all Arsenal haters: We’re a big trophy club.

@DaleVince Actually more drilling WILL lower bills Every LNG cargo we displace lowers the price at the NBP and widens the discount to TTF In the summer we could remove LNG from the GB grid altogether Plus the additional taxes could be used to pay for some of the renewables subsidies

@Tw_timerAlder Solar in the UK has a capacity factor of 10% It generates ZERO when we need it most It's expensive and pointless

@ret_ward Why won’t it Bob , please explain

Propagandists celebrate fooling some of the British public into believing more drilling in the North Sea will bring down energy bills.

@KathrynPorter26 @ret_ward They never answer you do they ? What a telling sign

How many times do you need to be told drilling WILL lower bills You keep this endless churn of tweets saying it won't but it's just not true More UK production displaces imports The gas grid, like most commodities markets, is based on marginal pricing so the most expensive LNG cargo arriving sets the price Not all LNG costs the same so every cargo you displace lowers the price at the NBP and therefore lowers bills In the summer it could be significant as we could fully displace LNG Plus the add tax revenues could be used to cover subsidies further lowering bills You might prefer drilling to not reduce bills but it's a fact that it would

This is rubbish and people like you seemed determined to destroy the UK 1. So what if most of the reserves have already been produced? We should extract everything that's economic to extract 2. Oil and gas we produce is CLEANER than imports... You should celebrate that not whine about not wanting to drill 3. Our own production is also cheaper than imports and generates significant tax income both from the producers and the huge supply chain they support The point isn't to change global prices it's to change UK prices All the gas we produce comes to the UK. That's where the pipes go. There's no choice to send it anywhere else The gas market like just about every commodities marker works on marginal pricing... Every LNG cargo we displace lowers the price at the NBP and widens the discount to TTF The reason the discount to TTF persists is that there's limited pipeline capacity between the markets. Not enough to remove the arbitrage We don't need to lower global prices to reduce our bills. We just have to displace the most expensive imports

No. Renewables are more expensive than gas for generating electricity And electricity is less than 20% of UK energy consumption The government's plan for electrifying heating will take 47 years at the target installation rate which we're currently well below Our own oil and gas are both cheaper and cleaner than imports So drilling our own is absolutely in our best interests and also good for the planet

@Vortigern2025 @neonsaxon @KevinASchofield Facts like what ? I’ll start , fact no 1 . Employers NI hike has crippled businesses, Your turn now
