A new record home-ownership rate in 2025, 85%, up from 81% in my first year as PM. Schemes like equity sharing, the 10% deposit scheme, New Hope, the first time buyers grant, the incentives to buy UCA properties all helped to achieve this result. But more remains to be done. - RA

In my personal view, very few politicians in #Malta truly understand the energy sector. I find it surprising that the Nationalist Party now appears to support subsidies. Just a few months ago, their Shadow Minister for Energy was actively campaigning for a fully liberalised free market in energy distribution, claiming it would “decrease energy tariffs across the board in Malta." The reality is that, unless structured exactly like the current fuel subsidy system, energy subsidies are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to implement in a true free market. They would distort competition and almost certainly breach EU state aid and competition rules. Malta’s derogation on the distribution of energy, which allows the state to maintain centralised control over electricity distribution, is actually a blessing. It has been supported by politicians from both sides of the House over the years. If we had followed the Nationalist Party’s earlier position and opened the market fully, today’s main electoral issue would be skyrocketing energy prices. With current geopolitical tensions, prices would have risen sharply, and the Nationalists would once again find themselves on the wrong side of energy policy. Ordinary families, especially lower and middle-income households, would have been forced to make major lifestyle changes to cope with much higher electricity costs. They would have been much higher than Energy prices in 2008-2013. Businesses would have passed on the increases to consumers, driving up the overall cost of living. Moreover, the Nationalist Party has consistently favoured heavy dependence on electricity interconnectors with neighbouring countries rather than building robust local infrastructure. They never strongly supported developing a balanced energy mix of cleaner fossil fuels, interconnectors, and renewables. As a result, any price spike in Italy (as we’ve seen recently) would be directly passed on to Maltese consumers. I’m rarely impressed with energy policy from either side of the political divide. I sincerely hope that whoever is in government develops a coherent, forward-looking strategy that properly addresses Malta’s rapidly growing electricity demand, mostly driven by the increase of electric vehicles, new industries, and modern consumption patterns. We deserve better than short-term political positioning on such a critical issue.

Letter to the editor of @SpletnaMladina Following an antisemitic imagery on today's edition. It is disappointing every time such toxic discourse is normalized.

One IDF soldiers destroy a statue of Jesus, Entire Israeli government apologies. Hundred of Thousands of jihadists kill hundreds of thousands of Cristians, Not a single word from the Islamic leaders.

If we are serious about upholding the human rights of older persons, we must recognise them as vital contributors to our communities, and the primary keepers of institutional memory and mentorship. In my message at this week’s national conference A Caring Nation: Shaping the Future of Ageing Services, I reaffirmed Malta’s support for UN efforts towards a Human Rights Convention for Older Persons. Honoured to welcome Amal Abou Rafeh, Chief of the Programme on Ageing at @UN, to Valletta, as we commend the International Institute on Ageing, United Nations–Malta (INIA), @HealthmarkMalta, and @UN4Ageing, for organising this important conference.

I’ve just had a call with Hungary’s Prime Minister-elect, @magyarpeterMP. We discussed strengthening cooperation and safeguard stability in today’s challenging global climate. We look forward to continuing this dialogue in person at upcoming European Council meetings. - RA

Muslims have destroyed thousands of churches across the Middle East and forced 2 million indigenous Christians to flee their homes. They consider Christians infidels who must convert, pay jizya, or be killed. Zero outrage by leftists or Muslims!

Lebanon is not Hezbollah Iran is not IRGC Free them both!

🚨 BREAKING: Iran is now forming HUMAN CHAINS in front of a power plant in Kazerun in a bid to dissuade President Trump’s strikes come 8PM They even invited children to attend. This is evil and disgusting. Iran views their people as meat shields!

“As a queer woman, I’m not afraid of Hamas or going to Gaza. They are very accepting of LGBT allies, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. But I am afraid Israel would try to kill me.” Mental illness.

Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.

@ThrottleMerlin @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Substance

@cutajaralex @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Yeah, you’re as ugly as you are dumb

If your political view is "No Kings, but Yes Ayatollahs" you are one very confused individual

You see, this is what you can't get because your intellectual level is too low to just fathom a shred of logic. The original argument mentions "no kings, but yes ayatollahs' in Western protests. Someone replied that no one holds that view. You are living proof that these people exist. Maybe I'll put this easier for you to understand. The Iranian Goverment is an Islamist and Jihadist Government. It preys on the gullible and the weak, such as yourself, by indoctrinating people through religion. There is nothing wrong with the religion itself, as it is practicised in most muslim countries, who also agree that the Iranian regime is a totally sick government. Now tell me how you can be in favour of a Government that kills its own citizens, shouts 'death to the west' as its own objective and oppresses women to the very least. Keep up your values. I'm impressed. Next Insult?

@cutajaralex @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Ah, so you actually do believe the crap that comes out of your mouth. That’s even worse. I pity you. I’ll explain this so even someone as thick as you can understand: If you think Muslims protesting an illegal war that America and Israel started = JIHADISM, you are a bellend

@ThrottleMerlin @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone I'm not pushing any propoganda. Just plain facts. Too bad you just can't handle simple facts. Debate me all you like, insulting me on a first attempt just proves what you are, just a sorry individual. Pity

@cutajaralex @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Probably something to do with your pathetic propaganda you’re trying to push. Sorry that it offends you so much to accurately call you out as the stupid motherfucker you are. Either you’re paid to spread propaganda or you are a useful idiot for Zionist fascists

@ThrottleMerlin @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone What is it with people like you? Do you have a fetish for insulting people who don't share your opinion? Or is it just a matter of your intellectual limitations? Humour me

@cutajaralex @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Oh I see you’re just a retarded bigot. Go suck some more Israeli cock you weak, propagandistic bitch

@ThrottleMerlin @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone What they're cheering for here is Islamism and Jihadism, not Islam. Islam is a question of faith, this is complete sickness.

@cutajaralex @dylanc78 @DrNeilStone Do you hold this same standard for people flying the Israeli flag after that country spent the last two and a half years committing a genocide, or is your contempt only for Muslims?
