Hard working bloke - fed up with RW liars 🇪🇺🇬🇧 Centre Left, pro rejoin, anti Tory, anti Reform - it can be better


NEW: UK govt borrowing costs have reached their highest level since 2008 Markets are responding to the energy shock and likely higher interest rates It also comes after @Steven_Swinford reported Lisa Nandy urged cabinet to rethink the fiscal rules, which investors will not like




Net zero has cost us £220 billion since 2006 with zero benefit. Why? Because renewables are more expensive than using fossil fuels If renewables wete cheap why do they need subsidies? Why ate the subsidies going up? Why are they being extended from 15 to 20 years? Renewables are a con and will NEVER be cheap. Why? Because they depend on the weather and have very low energy density

The Iran War needs to bring an end to the UK’s war on carbon. Fossil fuels are the building blocks of industrial civilisation. No modern society has ever been so prosperous without them. Net Zero is a death cult, says James Woudhuysen buff.ly/ZLmEDlo








Labour hiked taxes by £66 billion - and still can't stop BORROWING. February borrowing alone hit £14.3 billion this year - the highest February monthly borrowing since the pandemic. Debt interest alone now tops £100 billion. That's double the defence budget. We're piling debt onto the next generation because Starmer and Reeves refuse to control spending. Rachel Reeves has mismanaged the economy and made irresponsible choices. She's scrapped spending cuts. Hammered businesses. Punished wealth creators. And what's the result? Debt levels we haven’t seen since the 1960s. Enough is enough. Britain must live within its means.


Update - BBC understands Iran DID try and hit Diego Garcia, but in last few days, not yesterday - so before govt announced decision to let US use UK bases to protect Straits of Hormuz
