@NDIronsMP It’s not a cut,it’s a delay in an increase.

Labour has announced that the 5p cut on fuel duty will be extended for the rest of the year. I know a lot of my constituents are feeling cost-of-living pressures, so I’m pleased this government is keeping pump prices down in response.

@DominicFarrell Don’t forget…in case they gave accurate economic advice

@leicesterliz @paulmasonnews

We are rebuilding Britain for the modern age, creating jobs, businesses and opportunities across the country.

@MirrorBreaking_ Amazing how this weather map from the 90’s doesn’t show us living in a volcano

@thecoastguy Judging by the graphic there will be outbreaks of nuclear devastation in the south East

It may be sunny. There - fixed it for you.

They do not even believe their own fantasy. On the left - a flood map forecast by Climate Central for 2030 On the right a 2,700 acre solar farm being planned. If it’s going to be under water in 3.5 years the location seems somewhat unwise. Or they know the flooding fears are codswallop. 💩 (Arrow on flood map shows approx location of solar farm)

In terms of GDP growth or growth in exports, please provide the figures to show the UK has ‘notably underperformed’ France, Germany or Italy — which along with UK make up Europe’s four biggest advanced economies — since 2016. Thank you.

@coyleneil Labour privatised part of the NHS

Labour created the NHS. Labour saved the NHS in 1997. Labour is fixing the NHS today.

This is what Ed Miliband wants to cover our most fertile soil with. Who needs to eat when you can virtue signal and leach heavy metals? Oh, and don’t mention that he’s just scrapped the requirement for solar panels not to be made by slave labour….

The IPCC's "RCP8.5" climate scenario assumed a century of extreme fossil fuel growth. A world that was never realistic, the IPCC has recently admitted. But the damage it caused has been immense. Journals, the media, NGOs, insurers and governments treated the now-retired scenario as "business as usual." Worst case model runs became headlines. Headlines became risk reports. Risk reports became policy. Policy led to higher taxes. For 15 years, people were told the extreme pathway was the road we were on. It was not. The planet is actually greener today thanks to an increase in both warmth and CO2, with biodiversity up as a result. We are not living in a climate catastrophe. We are in a climate optimum. It is cooling that we should fear.

Neil’s narrator adds: Since the Brexit referendum the UK economy has grown faster than Germany, France and Italy, which are all still in the EU. So much for the Brexit drag. The higher inflation, higher interest rates and poor fiscal position are overwhelmingly the result of the economic policies of previous Tory governments, exacerbated by the current Labour one, which continued to borrow too much, tax too much, spend too much. Hence the UK’s high gilt yields. Brexit didn’t even have a walk on role.

Solar panels have a lifespan of around 25 years. By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects up to massive 78 million metric tons of solar panel waste. Only around 10% of a solar panel waste is currently recycled. Not exactly “sustainable”.

Willie Soon: The IPCC’s Core Climate Metric Doesn’t Hold Up Willie Soon takes on one of the most important numbers in modern climate science: Earth Energy Imbalance, or EEI. In this presentation from the 16th International Conference on Climate Change, Soon argues that the IPCC’s confidence in EEI goes far beyond what current measurements can support. He traces the concept back to James Hansen’s 1985 work, examines the role of climate models, and questions whether satellite data, ocean heat content, Argo floats, solar irradiance measurements, and planetary albedo estimates can actually detect a signal as small as the one being claimed. Soon’s central argument is direct: Earth Energy Imbalance is treated as a measured quantity, but he says it is better understood as a model-anchored residual buried under major uncertainties. Topics include: •Satellite energy budget measurements •Ocean heat content and Argo float sampling •Total solar irradiance uncertainty •Planetary albedo and cloud variability •The IPCC’s use of adjusted data products •The “black cat in a dark room” metaphor for modern climate claims Watch Willie Soon’s full ICCC16 presentation from The Heartland Institute, and follow for more speeches from the 16th International Conference on Climate Change. youtu.be/-NW77XoIEno?si… via @YouTube

@Ameer_Kotecha Traitor

What’s the one thing that’ll be written on Starmer’s political tombstone? Chagos? Winter fuel? Southport?

Solar looks cheap on paper, but only because of two sneaky accounting tricks. First, the backup system is completely ignored: such as storage, balancing, and the dispatchable power plants waiting behind it. Second, fossil fuel prices are inflated via carbon taxes. In Germany, for example, domestic lignite (a low-grade brown coal) costs just 40 euros per MWh. But after carbon taxes, the cost triples to 120 MWh. Energy economist Lars Schernikau puts German solar at a whopping 10 times the full system cost of domestic lignite - once both the backup and carbon taxes are considered. Renewables are cheap on paper, but in reality are the most expensive source of power.

🚨BREAKING: Rumours circulating in left-wing circles claim Keir Starmer has issued a warning to Labour MPs: “I wont stand down, I just won’t and if this drama continues, I’ll call a snap election” Would he really stoop that low?

Instead of admitting decades of failed predictions, climate academics are now claiming polar bears are "rapidly evolving" to survive catastrophic man-made warming. But the premise is completely false. The Arctic was far warmer 6,000 years ago, often ice-free even, and polar bears thrived. Their lineage actually dates back 400,000+ years through repeated warm phases. They don't need "rescue mutations," they've survived natural climate shifts far more extreme than today. And in 2025, bears are actually thriving. Estimates place today's global population at more than 30,000 -the highest in the recorded era and far above the 5,000 estimated in the 1950s. Rather than admit they were wrong, the climate industry has chosen a new fiction: "instant evolution." The grift continues. But data and logic aren't on its side.

Matt Ridley, ancien rédacteur scientifique à The Economist, démonte complètement le récit de la « crise climatique » : « Nous savons qu'au Moyen Âge, il faisait plus chaud qu'aujourd'hui... Nous ne sommes donc pas dans une période de chaleur sans précédent. » « Nous ne sommes pas dans une période de réchauffement exceptionnellement rapide. Nous ne sommes pas dans une période d'augmentation des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes, des inondations, des sécheresses, des tempêtes. » « Le dioxyde de carbone que nous émettons dans l'air a un effet très mesurable qui est bénéfique... Et c'est le verdissement global. »

The planet is now into its 3rd year of cooling. 1998 had temperatures hotter than April 2026. How can this be if CO2 emissions cause global warming? Perhaps CO2 isn’t the climate control knob.

CO₂ does not control the climate. It never has. It is not the master dial of the Earth’s temperature, nor is it the architect of our modern anxieties. Carbon dioxide doesn't cause excessive rainfall, droughts, or the collapse of coastal cliffs. Nor is it responsible for the fractures in human society—terrorism, urban violence, obesity or the drug crisis. These are the products of a human civilization that has survived its own annihilation by the narrowest of margins, persisting for 300,000 years largely through a stroke of cosmic luck. Yet, for four decades, a relentless climate war has force-fed the world a diet of crisis and warming hysteria. It insists that CO₂ is the root of all evil—that it is our fault and it is the gas's fault. But the truth is indifferent: CO₂ doesn't care. It is not demonic. It is not pollution. It is the foundation of life on Earth. Without it, Earth would be a silent, sterile rock, inhabited only by bacteria. It was CO₂ that empowered cyanobacteria to unlock the miracle of photosynthesis, slowly flooding the world with the 'waste product' we call oxygen. Before this, the oceans were dark with iron, the skies were not blue, and the world was effectively lifeless. We should be thankful for this gas of life, rather than inventing doomsday scenarios to vilify it. If we look at the true scale of our planet, the single greatest factor affecting Earth’s geology is tectonic continental flow. This slow, majestic dance of crustal plates shapes our continents and redirects the great ocean currents. This is nature at work. Today, CO₂ is a mere trace gas at 427 ppm (0.04%). While it is a mighty driver for biology, it is at some of its lowest levels in planetary history. During the Cambrian Period, concentrations were upwards of 4,000 to 8,000 ppm. If those massive levels did not trigger an 'irreversible environmental collapse', it is illogical to assume today’s trace amounts will. Furthermore, water vapor remains the dominant greenhouse gas, reaching concentrations of 40,000 ppm (4%) in the tropics. It is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse effect, yet it is sidelined in favor of the carbon narrative. History matters. For hundreds of millions of years, CO₂ has not been the deciding factor in global temperature. Homo sapiens evolved during the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 34 million years ago when Antarctica became entombed in ice. Our entire history has unfolded within the Quaternary glaciation, surviving 100,000-year cycles of icehouse conditions. Almost every meaningful invention, every empire, and every leap in human progress occurred within the brief, warm window of the Holocene. We have never not lived in an ice age. We have survived global upheavals before, but we may not survive a self-imposed collapse into a new medieval dark age driven by ideological fear.
