@DrChrisParry Your parents and grandparents would need to return their pensions though. All this 'it would have done better if invested' fails to account for all the pensions paid out since Inception.

Give me a refund on my national insurance paid over 55 years and I’ll forego my state pension.

Police officers in Shrewsbury, England are PROTECTING masked men as they go round tearing down Union flags. They aren’t even pretending to serve Britain anymore. This is treason.

Since 2020, UK councils have spent thousands removing British flags. Bexley: £14,130 Bromley: £13,840 Reading: £11,052 …and more across the country. This isn’t just wasteful, it sends a message. They want to erode national pride. Strip identity. Ignore heritage.

Offshore & onshore: we should use it all. Lower prices, jobs and growth. I have said for years: approve Rosebank, Jackdaw and others. Lincolnshire has produced oil for decades and has huge gas reserves. US gas price stayed the same during Iran war as produced domestically. UK gas price has soared 60% due to large imports. Extracting our own gas will lower prices and bring bills down.

The unelected House of Lords is fighting harder to protect your pension than the elected government. Rachel Reeves wants to remove the National Insurance tax break on pension contributions above £2,000 a year. This means millions of workers pay more to save for retirement. The Lords voted to protect contributions up to £5,000. The bill is currently ping-ponging between the Commons and Lords. When it passes, it comes into force April 2029. 7.7 million workers affected. Nobody asked them.

Another energy fail. Unlike oil, gas trades at regional rates, not global rates. Gas from the UK North Sea is piped to our shores. Most of it stays in the UK. A small amount goes into the European system. The more that comes out of the North Sea the bigger the dampening effect on domestic prices because it is cheaper than LNG. But the real benefits are security of supply (the government has ultimate control over it via licenses), more taxable revenue (to cut fuels bills), fewer imports, stronger sterling, more jobs, smaller carbon footprint than LNG. What’s not to like? Why create jobs in Stavanger when you could be creating them in Stonehaven.

Reform believe in protecting our Christian heritage. A Reform UK government will make restoring your church free from VAT again.

5 police watching from back of crowd, doing nothing as this feral mob smash way into Sports Direct on Oxford St

A Muslim woman screams at British police officers: “We fought for this country! If you have rights, it’s because we fought for them!” Fun fact: More British Muslims volunteered to fight for ISIS than to serve in the UK army.

Groan. Why do people who know nothing about energy think they know about energy? 86% of gas in UK comes via pipelines (domestic North Sea production + imports from Norway). 14% comes in as LNG (mainly from America these days). Now you’ve got the facts, use them wisely. I won’t be able to help again because #FBPE is an automatic block. Bye.

An agreement was in place between INEOS and PetroChina, to save the Grangemouth refinery with a £300million investment. @theSNP and @scottishgreens cabal demanded full net-zero upgrades which would have cost £1bn. ROI on that? 15years, with uninterrupted service. Far more, if any downtime was suffered. The demand made was a blackmail by @scotgov, which failed, costing jobs, investment and loss of a hugely important refinery. Anyone who continues to vote for @JohnSwinney and his cult, needs a short, sharp, shock.

Israel had to keep its biggest gas platform, Leviathan, completely shut down for 32 days due to the ongoing war. Egypt and Jordan, both heavily hooked on Israeli gas, were sliding into crisis. Blackouts multiplied. Factories slowed to a crawl. Families sat in the dark. The Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had already cut off Qatari supplies, so the pressure on both Arab countries became severe. Behind closed doors, both countries quietly begged Israel to turn the gas back on. This week, Israel did exactly that. Gas is flowing again to Egypt and Jordan. Think about this: Israel had a perfect, low-risk opportunity to do exactly what the Islamic world constantly accuses it of wanting to do: destroy its Arab neighbors. A few more weeks of keeping that valve closed would have inflicted real, possibly irreversible damage. Power grids could have collapsed. Industries would have ground to a halt. Governments already struggling with their own problems would have faced furious populations looking for someone to blame. According to the propaganda drilled into every Arab and Muslim from Tehran to Cairo to Amman, the “Zionist entity” is a ruthless, genocidal power that dreams of nothing more than the destruction of Arabs and Muslims. If that was even slightly true, Israel would have seized the moment. It would have turned the energy shortage into a weapon and let Egypt and Jordan bleed out. No one could have stopped it. The decision was entirely in Israel’s hands. Instead, Israel did the opposite. It absorbed its own heavy losses, weighed the risks, and turned the gas back on. Even while fighting a war, it chose to remain a stable supplier to countries that are, at best, cold-peace partners, and at worst, occasional enablers of the very forces trying to destroy it. This is the complete opposite of the bloodlust that Islamic propaganda constantly projects onto Jews.

I don't think criminals should be allowed to appear in court like this.

British police want to arrest a white Christian preacher because his prayers have caused anxiety and distress to some. JD Vance is right, UK is lost. - @RadioGenoa

Look how the Police deal with these two situations very differently TWO TIER POLICING is REAL Clapham Mob - Hands off approach Few white lads on the way to football - Batons Out

Remarkable.

People forget that in the 1990s, Britain was the fourth biggest manufacturing economy in the world. Through the 1990s the number of jobs in manufacturing *increased*. From 1993 to 1998, British manufacturing employment increased from 4.1 million to 4.3 million. Not unrelatedly, across the same timespan, electricity prices dropped by 22%. Our manufacturing crisis today is above all an energy crisis.

In the Kherson region of Ukraine, where cooking is becoming increasingly difficult due to Russian attacks, WCK's #ChefsForUkraine teams are working to help families cook for themselves again. We're delivering cooking kits to families—each of which includes a gas stove, fuel, and extinguisher—to places where access to electricity is unreliable. Many of these families have relied on WCK's hot meals in the past. Now, we're working to restore their ability to cook the food they love with dignity.

Write to your MP. Ask them to stop @Keir_Starmer destroying our long lived right to elect to be judged by ordinary men and women from our own communities if we are accused and prosecuted for serious criminal offences that could mean losing our liberty for 3 years.

Your plan? You spent 14 years in power shipping in 6.5 million net new people and built 482 prison places to cope. You allowed 10,000 foreign nationals to amass in our jails as you were too wet to deport them. The only plan you should have now is retirement.
