When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it & hang on. Old enough to remember Denis Law scoring in the 1963 Cup Final. Right-wing gammon, apparently.

The Excess is worried a Brexit reset will cost £3bn per year but fails, as usual to address the massive elephant in the room, that Brexit is costing £90bn-£100bn per in tax revenues alone. This useless, shit stirring fucking rag should stick to shouting at marmalade.

Dozens of North Sea oil and gas fields blocked by net zero And the Wind Fall Tax. There are 51 known new fields in British waters that could be feeding domestic pipes but have been rendered “unviable” by current government policies, including the windfall tax and a ban on exploration licences. On top of these, some 60 extensions to existing fields are being held back for the same reasons, according to trade body Offshore Energy UK (OEUK). telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

One of the world’s biggest wind farms is being planned in Scotland. It will provide power to five million homes, and create 6,000 full time equivalent jobs: buff.ly/3jM3Lvo

Here is my new paper for the Great British Business Council on the importance of oil, gas and coal to the UK economy. The UK’s industrial decline is not inevitable, but the result of decades of deliberate policy choices that have undermined domestic energy production and driven manufacturing offshore. Lowering UK employment and tax revenues, while increasing the UK trade deficit. The paper also includes a plan to reverse this. gbbc.uk/uk-deindustria…

My piece in today's Guardian is intended to remind everyone of the REAL reason why drilling for more oil and gas in the north sea is madness

I cannot understand how the Govt, and Ed Milliband, won't explain this.
And the superb economics of renewables.

It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

@Colinbreeden @davidicke @CarolineLucas @BBCr4today Except you can’t say who or what benefits from such a ‘con’ … as it sure isn’t big business & the globalist, or the politicians they own

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

Wishing @Keir_Starmer a peaceful Easter and Passover period with his family.
Thank you for your commitment to keep our country out of Trump’s war and for working with our European neighbours to bring peace back to our world.

Keir Starmer said back in 2022, that a Labour government would “act immediately to avert the cost of living crisis”. Yet the Labour government have been in power for almost 2 years and nothing has been done. In fact, they’ve made the cost of living crisis even worse.

As someone with many years involvement in the physical movement of natural gas around Europe from field to end customer the ignorance in this post physically pains me.

Is North Sea drilling panacea to oil crisis? Upsides tenuous: won’t lower prices,create lots of jobs or tax revenues; will create CO2+encourage other countries with much gas to burn it. Only makes sense if you ignore climate. Which makes it insane, really. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

65 leading UK climate scientists warn against new oil & gas drilling in North Sea, urging the govt instead to prioritise renewable energy as a proven more cost-effective response to energy crisis.
“As #climate scientists, we urge leaders to look to the cheaper proven solutions”

Can we stop with the marmalade thing. We can still use it it’s just we need to add “citrus” to marmalade as other fruits are used in the EU. Hardly newsworthy…
