Right-Way Forward

Rachel Reeves has trashed our economy. Britain's inflation is the highest in the G7 - and that's before the Middle East crisis is taken into account. Growth flat. Record borrowing. Crippling taxes. Only @Conservatives have a plan to get Britain working again.

Imagine how long it would take to get the planning permission for this, and the cost of the 'environmental protection measures '

Eye-opening chart: the UK is on its way to becoming a socialist paradise. The only issue is that under socialism, everyone is equally poor, not equally wealthy. Every day, 45 tax-paying millionaires leave the UK, taking countless jobs with them. Every day, 3,000 new welfare recipients are added. And what does the government do to stop this slow-motion train wreck? It is seriously discussing a wealth tax. A wealth tax would mean that for quite a few entrepreneurs, their combined annual income tax and wealth tax burden would exceed their income. They would have no choice but to close the business or, more likely, emigrate and in some cases take the business with them. The pandemic has shown that businesses can be managed from anywhere; they simply don’t need to stay in the UK anymore. A wealth tax would reduce tax revenues even further and throttle growth potential. The UK urgently needs deregulation and lower taxes to stimulate growth again. Putting millions of people on permanent welfare while the hardworking ones have no choice but to leave is a recipe for stagnation and a debt crisis down the road. Unfortunately, pro-growth policies that drive prosperity are not compatible with left-wing ideology. There won’t be any change before the next general election. Will Reform be able to turn Britain around?

Fact check: true. Oil was far more expensive throughout the 2000s and early 2010s. In more recent years the less economic growth we’ve had, the more the political class has become addicted to subsidy. These two facts are not unrelated. Rinse and repeat.

Is This Plausible? I am Morgan Macsweeney I am Chief Of Staff to the Prime Minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland I hold a top-secret security clearance I own a mobile phone I use this phone to conduct Government Business I use this phone to message with Lord Mandelson My phone is tracked by GCHQ There are protocols for officials using personal phones to conduct Government business My communications are monitored to ensure they are not intercepted My phone is "stolen" a month after Lord Mandelson is sacked The police do not investigate The phone is not tracked down The police are too busy to track down the phone the most senior member of the Prime Minister's team - someone with a top-secret security clearance I do not contact my service provider to block the stolen phone I do not consider asking GCHQ to do this as a national security priority I do not ask for a replacement sim I do not buy a new phone I do not activate my new phone with the new sim I do not log-in to my Google account I do not select "Restore" I do not download WhatsApp I do not recover my messages Nobody, ever, who had their phone stolen was ever able to get their messages back. @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer DO YOU THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID? It is the cover-up that will take you down

@TJiMTS It does have a memory feature...not sure how good it is yet, only just moved from ChatGPT.

Does Claude suddenly have persistent memory and context that I’m not aware of?

Is that it? The Chancellor fails to take obvious action to reduce the shortage of oil and gas,and to ease bond market worries driving borrowing rates higher. Allowing more domestic oil and gas production would boost revenues and reduce the scramble for dear imports.

You are so wrong.. Under the Petroleum Act 1998 the state owns all the oil and gas. It's produced by private companies under licence 100% of the gas comes onto the GB grid because that's where the pipes go. It's not optional 😂 Most of the oil goes to overseas refineries because we only have four refineries left. Our refineries have to pay carbon taxes. Imported refined products do not and are not included in the CBAM, so are at a huge structural disadvantage Amazing how green lobbyists are putting out all this misi all of a sudden 🙄

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the cost of Socialism.

@shanaka86 It's The Command System from Schar's World.

BREAKING: Iran built a subway system for ballistic missiles inside a granite mountain south of Yazd. Automated rails move warheads and transporter-erector-launchers between assembly halls, storage vaults, and three to ten blast-door exits carved into the mountainside at depths reaching 500 metres. A TEL rides the tracks to an exit, surfaces, fires, and retreats underground before the strike aircraft can respond. The mountain has been under construction for two decades. The IRGC did not build a bunker. It built a weapons factory with its own internal railway, buried deeper than any conventional bomb can reach. The United States and Israel have struck Yazd Imam Hussein on March 1st, March 6th and March 17th and even earlier today! Satellite imagery shows collapsed portals, cratered ventilation shafts, and destroyed surface infrastructure. The visible damage is real. The invisible infrastructure is intact. On March 20, a long-range ballistic missile launched from the Yazd complex, failed during boost phase, and crashed near Kohistan Park inside Yazd City itself. The launch failed. The fact that it happened at all is the proof. Three weeks of precision strikes on the portals did not stop the railway behind them from delivering a missile to a surviving exit. The engineering is simple in concept and devastating in practice. Each blast door is a separate exit point. When one is destroyed, the rail system reroutes to another. When that door is struck, it is backfilled with soil and concrete by the IRGC from inside, then re-excavated when the bombing pauses. CNN satellite analysis confirmed the rail layouts. Alma Research mapped the tunnel networks. The IDF acknowledged that approximately 60 percent of launch infrastructure has been destroyed. The US estimated 50 percent of capacity remains. That remaining 50 percent rides underground rails that no bomb in the American or Israeli arsenal can reach at 500 metres through granite. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the largest bunker-buster ever built, penetrates approximately 60 metres of reinforced concrete or roughly 40 metres of moderate rock. Granite is harder than moderate rock. Five hundred metres is more than twelve times the weapon’s maximum penetration depth. The gap between the bomb and the tunnel is not a margin of error. It is a physical impossibility. The mountain does not care how many sorties are flown above it. The railway does not care how many portals are sealed. The geology is the defence, and the geology has been there for 300 million years. This is why the war continues. Every missile that hits Arad, Dimona, or central Israel was assembled underground, moved on rails to an exit, and fired from a door that may have been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times since February 28. The persistence of Iranian missile fire despite three weeks of intensive strikes is not resilience. It is infrastructure. The IRGC did not prepare for this war by building rockets. It prepared by building railways inside mountains. The rockets are replaceable. The railways are permanent. And the granite that protects them was formed before mammals existed. The strait is 21 miles wide. The mountain is 500 metres deep. And the railway inside it is still delivering missiles to the surface. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Any country that strikes oil, has trillions of m3 of gas under their feet, along with hundreds of years of coal reserves and ends up with a population of people living in border line fuel poverty, it's government that has failed them .....

For the five billionth time: - You don’t need a conspiracy theory to explain why the US government is interested in an area that has 50% of the world’s oil and 30% of the world’s trade - You don’t need a conspiracy theory to explain why the US government feels threatened by a jihadist death cult whose motto is "Death to America" developing nukes

So the Starmer bashing continues. Laura Kuenssberg writes and Chanel4 makes a documentary both about how unpopular Sir Keir is. They really are afraid because actually he is popular with most thinking people. #standwithKeir #TenYearKeir

@ZackPolanski Cap bills and suppliers won't be able to supply. Without fossil fuel backup and inertia, the grid doesn't work. Bills won't go down. There will be blackouts.

This could have been avoided. Failure to insulate every home, end reliance on fossil fuels & decouple energy prices from gas left us exposed to energy shocks. Now we must act: Cap bill rises after June. End fossil fuel addiction. Lower bills, permanently.

@OfSymbols If you think the Government would have been better at investing and improving the water system without spunking the money on welfare and the NHS I've got a bridge to sell you. Every other asset the Government owns is a crumbling mess, neglected at the alter of socialism.

In the 1980s we decided to become a nation of tenants, renting our entire country from the people we sold it to. I cannot understand how the terrible deal has went on as long as it has, and any party which denies this fact is a central cause of our problems seems so silly to me.

>>>This is exactly what they did Each time they put your council tax/road tax/energy taxes, etc up 5% whilst you only get a 3% pay rise (with no income tax threshold rise) you hardly notice until after 20 years of compounding then eventually you wake up & are crushed by the state

@reformparty_uk is strongest where the @Conservatives are weakest. The @Conservatives are strongest where @reformparty_uk are weakest. Working together is the best way to keep the Greens and Labour our of power

spectator.com/podcast/on-the… Great podcast from @SpecCoffeeHouse the @reformparty_uk mission to replace/annihilate the @Conservatives is classic finite thinking. The mission should be about the country. Splitting the right and allowing a Lab/Green coalition to prevail would be the worst possible outcome

@bphillipsonMP We're a working family, how much is it saving us? Or did you have to hike our taxes to pay for it?

😞 Our offer of 30 hours of government-funded childcare is no longer saving families £7,500... ...it's now saving them £8,000! 😃 Labour is delivering for working families and tackling the cost of living.

@btharris93 Those pensioners fought in 2 world wars, and defeated Napoleon for you. Don't be so ungrateful.

It’s depressing how easily many of the UK’s fiscal problems could be solved (by scrapping the triple lock and liberalising planning) but we simply choose not to because the pensioners would get mad.
