@tmax100 @chrisbupnorth @emilysheffield @bbclaurak @KemiBadenoch The revenues to government could be used to reduce fuel duties. It shouldn't be too hard to comprehend.

@chrisbupnorth @emilysheffield @bbclaurak @KemiBadenoch Absolutely yes of course these are very important, but it doesn’t change the price of oil
Badenoch was talking like our North Sea oil could be for us, directly at our garages 🥴😂

Dear @bbclaurak Why did you assume we’re all screaming at the TV? When @KemiBadenoch explained her energy support plan - she was making a vital point? Don’t assume your audience think like you. I got it straight away. Sorry you didn’t.

@riversorare @donmcgowan @Helco8890 Being pedantic, but Farage was never a stockbroker - he's not bright enough. A wannabe and failed metals trader. He spent most of his lunchtimes in the pub.
English
@donmcgowan @Helco8890 Not they are not. Nazis were traumatised by defeat in a brutal war. Farage is a stockbroker.
Unlike Nazi Germany we have just experienced 20 years of undemocratic failed Mass Immigration.

Reform UK are mirroring, almost identically, Hitler and his Nazi party’s rise to power in depression era Germany, specifically the final three or four years leading up to Hitler becoming Chancellor.
There are far too many similarities for it to be a coincidence.

@PeterTatchell It was exactly the same pre-Brexit. Nothing has changed except staffing incompetence.

Another misery caused by Brexit voters
Geneva airport: EU citizens queue for passport control empty. Brits queue for over an hour
Brexit voters should have to pay a £5,000 tax surcharge for the misery they have inflicted on the rest of us: Higher prices, job & trade losses

@SuellaBraverman There's stupid, and then there's really stupid. Take your pick.

Global warming?!?
Just over a week to go until Easter and we need to get our big coats back out!
I wouldn’t mind a bit more global warming to be honest, right now.
Met Office@metoffice
Time to get the 'big coat' back out 🧥 Temperatures are dropping widely below average but in brisk northerly winds, it will be feeling closer to freezing for many of us 🥶

@DaleVince And where does the corporation tax. PAYE, NI go? It can either go to Russia or Norway or Venezuela or it could go to the UK. It could even be used to reduce fuel duty.
English
Ratcliffe is incoherent - all of the oil and gas we produce here in Britain is sold at the global market price. No amount of oil produced here can in that case save us a single penny. Importing fossil fuels does not mean we pay more. Drilling in the north sea will take years to deliver globally priced fossil fuels and Rosebank will cost nearly £3 Bn in tax payer subsidies to it’s Norwegian owners - and….none of the oil will land here in Britain. So what sense is Ratcliffe making here, other than to shareholders in Rosebank and other oil companies.
This is another fossil fuel crisis and we can’t solve it or help ourselves at all - by pouring more oil onto it.

Latest in 'drill baby drill' news:
University of Oxford says a UK powered entirely by clean energy…could save households up to £441 a year
In contrast, maximising oil and gas extraction from North Sea would offer savings of just £16 to £82
independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
English
Short answer - no
To quote the University of Oxford: “the idea that draining the North Sea would make the UK more energy secure or significantly save on household bills is sheer fantasy”
Thomas Skinner ⚒@iamtomskinner
I’d like to know all your opinions in the comments? I’ve just paid £1.70 a litre for diesel. Why are we not opening up our gas and oil field in the North Sea? Surely by opening these and sourcing from our own reserves, we will bring our prices of fuel down, energy costs down, create jobs, bring revenue and tax into the UK economy that can be spent on the roads, the NHS, UK services and schools. We continue to source our fuel from abroad and it makes no sense to me! We should be backing our UK manufacturing and not let it go abroad! We live in very uncertain times especially what’s going on in the Middle East. Love to hear your opinion, let’s back Britain 🇬🇧 - Bosh ❤️

@EdwardJDavey Musk maybe a creep but he's done more for the transition to clean energy for transport and storage than anyone else. Davey is a fool. I guess he's trying to stay relevant.
English
Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence.
Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry.
We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.

@Mikk_MV33 I think its unfair that Mercedes designs the new motor , learns lots & lots about how to get the best out of it and then sells it to other teams ( minus the intel ) Sure , didn't matter last year and obviously chassis was the big difference but this year its all about intel

Close your eyes and think of Verstappen.
You can see the overtake at Abu Dhabi
Think of Hamilton. You can see his rookie season, his dominance
Think of Prost, Senna, Schumacher. And you see endless moments and stories
Now close your eyes and think of George Russell.
Nothing.

@redrumlisa Well. You bought your house 10 years ago for 200k. Through no skill of yours it's now worth 350k. You decide to sell it. What's your price?

Why are Petrol prices going up? Do massive companies like the Supermarkets buy their stock at 10pm for delivery the next morning? Or do they buy their reserves well in advance and are now profiteering?

@BenGrahamStocks Same oil reserves but Norway population 4.5m. Norway has enormous electric resources. It's a stupid comparison.

Margaret Thatcher sold off the North Sea,
Instead of building a sovereign wealth fund like Norges Bank Investment Management for Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global.
Today Norway sits on a $1.5 trillion fund.
Britain sits on immense debt.
One country invested its natural wealth.
The other liquidated parts of it.
