Matt Goodwin’s intellectual suicide In his new book, Reform’s in-house academic set out to articulate his ideas. He produced trash By @johnpmerrick #Echobox=1774363145" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newstatesman.com/ideas/2026/03/…

I reviewed Matt Goodwin’s new book for the New Statesman. Spoiler: it’s worse than you could ever imagine

Labour have a working majority of 165. Why is there always a Tory majority on the #politicslive panel?

The PM is probably consulting Lord Hermer on the correct level of compensation to offer Iran for the loss of their missile.

@ClaireCoutinho @TufnellHenry Indeed. £3.5m of Tory donations linked to pollution and climate denial, says report. theguardian.com/environment/20…

It is a difficult thing to say your party has got it wrong. We all care about the environment but making our people poor while the world watches is making us a warning not an example. Kudos to @TufnellHenry for his bravery today.

@jcartlidgemp Sit down.

With war in Europe and the Middle East, Labour can’t even say whether they will publish the Defence Investment Plan this week. This is a farce - total weakness from Starmer when we urgently need rapid rearmament. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@ClaireCoutinho What makes you say that? £3.5m of Tory donations linked to pollution and climate denial, says report. theguardian.com/environment/20…

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.

@KemiBadenoch Oh. #antisemitism The Tories have form with far right conspiracy theories. This time it’s ‘cultural Marxism’. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Conservative Party stands with Britain’s Jewish community against the rising tide of anti-semitism. Now and always.

@KemiBadenoch Weren't you part of this bloke's Government? Boris Johnson’s record of bigotry, #antisemitism and far-right politics must not be forgotten. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

@KemiBadenoch Not always: Boris Johnson book depicts Jews as controlling the media. #antisemitism independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

@BarbaraSutton15 That's a perfect description of both.

Why has Royal Mail retained its name-it’s anything but royal it’s slow unreliable & prohibitively expensive

So Trump: Insults British PM Belittles Britain Insults Mayor of London Lies about Britain Insults British veterans Meddles in British politics Insults our NATO and EU allies Lays claim to Canada But gets this…

@TheNewsAgents Yes.

When Tory Nick Timothy saw Ramadan prayers in Trafalgar Square, he said it was an "act of domination". He was praised by Tommy Robinson, and Kemi Badenoch asked if these events "fit" with British culture. So, do the Tories have a problem with Muslims? thenewsagents.co.uk/article/do-the…

@CarignanRidge @TheNewsAgents

@TheNewsAgents It’s Labour that has the problem. It’s terrified of them.

Made a new me. Same restrictions. Pointless.

"Academic".
