@ManiBasharzad Both personal liberty and freedom of religion are crucial for any prosperous society. It is important that Britain doesn't slip into religious censorship. As many celebrate Eid al-Fitr, I'll be having my train beer and pasty. Both should be allowed in modern Britain.

Ramadan in Iran made my life a misery “Do not expect me to see iftar as a wonderful expression of togetherness. For millions of people like me, this month meant exclusion from ordinary life and hundreds being flogged in public” ✍️Me in The Spectator spectator.com/article/ramada…

@SimonDudleyUK The government consultant industry is a billion pound taxpayer swindle, only held up by our regulatory state. The sooner we cut away masses of development-related red tape and kill off this practice the better!

The planning processes in our country guarantee delay and taxpayer waste. This has to change
Ben Graham@BenGrahamUK

Most people don’t realise where the £180 million actually went at the A303 Stonehenge tunnel project. It wasn’t construction. It was years of: • Environmental impact assessments • Heritage & archaeological studies • Legal challenges and consultations • Design, engineering and traffic modelling • Public inquiries and revisions All before a single shovel hit the ground. This is the real problem in Britain: We don’t just waste money, we build systems that guarantee it. £180 million to build nothing.

With gas prices skyrocketing, what can be done to protect Britain from the impact of international events? A report by the University of Oxford claims North Sea drilling wouldn't help lower bills, but is this true? ⬇️
University of Oxford@UniofOxford

'Staying the course on clean energy would not only save households three times as much money but render the UK truly energy secure for generations to come.' Maximising North Sea production would reduce bills by just £16 to £82 per year, say researchers from the Oxford Smith School ⬇️ theconversation.com/would-more-nor…

Reeves faces Pierre Moscovici’s 2012 dilemma: big promises, weak growth, no fiscal room. Tax more, risk further stagnation… cut spending, risk backbench revolt… Without a pro-growth pivot, Labour risks being trapped between markets and its own MPs. My latest for @spectator👇

Ed Miliband and the Labour government want the UK to be the world's first developed economy to both ration energy and still enjoy economic prosperity. This is a charade. Energy abundance is what acts as a base for a buoyant economy and no flawed green ideology will change that.

There are plenty of people that would benefit from being pushed into apprenticeships, trade college, and other employment experience. This should be the default, but unfortunately too many 18 year-olds are pushed into University, having no idea of their career goals.

Universities are still worth it, but the way graduates should get more support. Grads need support into the job market. @UniversityLeeds had some great year in industry courses that definitely make university valuable. Thanks for debating @CharlieM_OBE.

📺I'm on @GBNEWS at 2:30 discussing why we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater on Universities. With proper reform, we can make the British uni sector the envy of the world once again!

Great to see @the_tpa latest analysis on the front page of the @Daily_Express this morning. A typical household will end up paying almost £40k in fuel duty over the course of a lifetime if the chancellor’s planned fuel duty hike goes ahead. This hike needs to be stopped!

An overtly political gov department being political in their comms. Quelle Surprise. As a member of the Great British Beer-drinking public, low energy prices and abundance is preferable to energy rationing and pubs and breweries closing.
Department for Energy Security and Net Zero@energygovuk

These reports are ridiculous. As the Great British beer-drinking public know, cost saving energy efficiency measures help pubs save money. The beer will always be chilled by opening time. @Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

Having the security of domestic oil and gas production is crucial in today's world of insecurity. We can eventually scale back usage with other energy sources, when they become economically viable. As we are still reliant, we must insulate ourselves against import fluctuation.
Sky News@SkyNews

Not long ago, Britain was one of the world’s biggest oil producers, with revenues accounting for six percent of all government revenues in the mid-1980s. @EdConwaySky looks at how much oil and gas Britain could extract from the North Sea if it really wanted to. 🔗 trib.al/loV0rHu

@griffitha The single biggest source of carbon reduction in our economy right now is the deindustrialisation associated with the highest industrial energy prices in the world. North Sea development and the scaling back of green taxes is integral to our future energy prosperity.

Britain’s industry is in crisis. Energy costs are uncompetitive thanks to windmill fetishists and left wing green ideology. Jobs and security are at risk. We won’t let Labour dismantle our economy.

@TraytonBaker Something small like this makes life slightly worse. Not enough for a person to consider leaving Britain because of it, but a slight reduction in people's overall prosperity. I'll vote for any party that can promise me cheaper homes and energy rather than managed decline.

Tepid bath of managed decline latest. The government now pays for consultants to tell pubs to serve warm lager and turn off their fridges. Making energy cheaper is an afterthought.

This shift to realist international relations should signal to every state that commodity and energy independence matters more than before. Having allies is important, of course, but having a true sense of national security is the first duty of government.

This is hard power. Circumventing all official international bodies for a more direct approach, causing maximum impact for minimum loss of life. Fukuyama was wrong in the 90s, welcome to the beginning of history. A new and far more chaotic one.

US captures Maduro in Venezuela. Cuts oil lifeline to Cuba / China. US bombs Iran, China loses crude lifeline (90pc Chinese crude via Hormuz). Result: US shale / Gulf allies gain market share, global realignment Trump knows what he is doing European mind cannot comprehend it
