Matz is in the house.

@Jack_H2o @KeillerDon @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam All those are laudable goals, but it's a different proposition to actually doing something to reduce energy costs

@fourcheeze @KeillerDon @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam We are paying others to produce something we can produce ourselves.Even if it had no affect on the price it would still support an industry that would create lots of high value jobs and exportable industry.

Why did Faisal Islam not ask Miliband why we pay Norway up to £40 BILLION a year for oil and gas they drill from the North Sea? Norway’s oil fields are next to the UK’s. We are still using fossil fuels. Just not our own. Madness. @faisalislam

@Jack_H2o @KeillerDon @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam Yes, we've been around this, more supply, lower prices, but there's no magic "we produce it ourselves" unless there's a fundamental change More production in Norway would arguably produce the same result, but there's a reason that Norway has cheaper fuel than their own gas

@fourcheeze @KeillerDon @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam No, that’s where competition comes into it.

@KeillerDon @Jack_H2o @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam but there is no "we" in this. Unless this is set up correctly the owners are BP or whoever and they sell at the same price as now, or very close It's just not good enough to say produce more here

@Jack_H2o @fourcheeze @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @AndyatAuto @faisalislam And if Millibrain allowed us to produce more we wouldn’t have to import as much from Norway. At an annual cost of £40 billion.

@Jack_H2o @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam I'd honestly love to know if you have details of a plan Cards on table - you may have guessed I'm very pro renewables, but we should have realised that we can't just ignore gas users. I just want us to have as clean and cheap energy as possible

@fourcheeze @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam Yes

@Jack_H2o @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam that's an interesting view, how would we stop that? In any case, that would only stop some of the gas coming down the pipeline, which means the gas in this country only needs to beat the marginal cost of the region Or would you completely overhaul the way energy is priced?

@fourcheeze @WalleyVision @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam We don’t have to export it

@bada273869 @DHKITCH @elonmusk It's a fascinating question, how much does media affect how people vote and how much influence should you be able to buy? Should there be a limit on that?

@DHKITCH @elonmusk The fact, that you think, this meme has something to do with reality, shows, that you don't know, what facts are. Posting something is not like interfere with any decision of politics in other countrys🤦🏻‍♂️. While you don't know, that everyone in media is doing this since years🤣.

This happened under a “conservative” government

@Foes_DuckAll @ClarksonsFarm1 To be fair to Clarkson he was much opposed to leaving the EU, although maybe not farmers in general, I don't know all of them

@ClarksonsFarm1 No, because you wankers voted to leave the EU despite the warnings. And now you want us to bail you out for rip off prices in a cost of living crisis? Get bent. Cunt.

@WalleyVision @Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam And that region which deternines availability is about 200-250 million people How much shale gas can the UK produce?

@Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @fourcheeze @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam Agreed

@Polly888888 @Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @grok can you confirm or deny these claims?

@Jack_H2o @fourcheeze @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto Yes but there were SIX pals of George Soros behind the Climate Change Act and Soros part funded Bright Blue which recommended Legal Net Zero. David Miliband who arranged the CCA has a million dollar Soros linked CEO job. The CCA report author and first CCC chair Soros pals too.

@Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam There are gas pipelines out to Europe, so I'm not sure why you think it couldn't be bought there However, as I said before, more supply reduces costs, so fracking in the UK would reduce gas prices slightly across Europe

@fourcheeze @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam Gas is sold regionally and is dictated by market access.Gas produced here can only be exported via pipeline as we have no cryogenic facilities here. It would have to be sold in our domestic market and would bring down prices dramatically.There is no global market

@Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam I've never heard him refer to a single global price. I've heard him refer to a single global market, which is of course true Even if we had gas fracking in this country, it still becomes part of the wider market. More supply usually reduces price though

@fourcheeze @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam Yes,they FRACK for gas, something we could do and we would also have much cheaper gas. But thank you, there is no such thing as "The Global Gas Price" ...Miliband is a liar.

@Jack_H2o @AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam If you know this, you'll also know that it's more complicated, because USA production has lower export possibilities owing to limited liquefaction capabilities The USA is part of the global market but the gas has a bottleneck getting there so generally it's sold locally cheaper

@AllisonPearson @KeillerDon @AndyatAuto @faisalislam When Miliband claims gas prices are set globally he’s lying.Natural gas is priced by region with the US being much cheaper than Europe for more than a decade.Miliband is a bare faced liar.

@EconomyComments @ClaireCoutinho I think the way you posted makes sense We need to find better ways of harnessing the limitless energy available to us, that don't involve digging things up and burning them What I find odd is that people are so prepared to go to bat for keeping these old fuels going

@fourcheeze @ClaireCoutinho It must be how I’ve written my post as a few people seem to have taken it as me pushing back against renewables so apologies - I am saying I don’t think the return to gas & oil is helpful long term

Ed Miliband is a dangerous fantasist who is gambling with our energy security.   As the world gets more dangerous, Britain should be asking itself a hard question: is our energy system resilient enough?   Miliband argues that his race to power the country on the wind and the sun makes us more secure. In reality, he is doubling down on a reckless experiment which is making us weaker and poorer. What Britain really needs is an Energy Resilience Strategy.   Miliband’s first fatal mistake is shutting down the North Sea, which still provides half of our gas supply. Rather than use our own, Labour would prefer Britain became more reliant on dirtier gas from abroad, while losing thousands of jobs here and sending billions of pounds overseas in the process.   We have to end Miliband’s mad ban on new oil and gas licences, scrap the Net Zero restrictions and job-destroying taxes and maximise recovery from the North Sea.   Second, we need to make electricity cheap. Miliband is so consumed by making our electricity supply completely clean that he doesn’t care that he’s also making it unbearably expensive. He has the problem completely back to front. He is making it harder for people to opt for electricity to protect themselves from shocks. Our Cheap Power Plan would cut everyone’s electricity bill by 20% and make it far cheaper for households and businesses to electrify if they choose to do so.   Third, we must double down on nuclear. Nuclear provides reliable, 24/7 power which has the most secure supply chain of any energy source. Yet Labour scrapped my plans to build the third modern large nuclear plant in Britain. This is absurd and must be reversed.   Fourth, in times of war, our industrial power is our hard power. British industry is being crippled by soaring Carbon Taxes which have as much as doubled under Labour. We will still need chemicals, plastics and steel, we will just end up getting them from more polluting countries who do not impose these taxes. We must stop escalating Carbon Taxes and back British industry.   None of this is inevitable. We are an energy-rich nation choosing to make ourselves energy-poor. Making ourselves weak to appease Net Zero ideologues will make us a warning, not an example, to the rest of the world.   It’s not too late to change course. Keir Starmer must ditch his dangerous Energy Secretary and prioritise Britain’s energy resilience now.

@BritisherPaz49 @parlance2025 @ZeroDarkKitty He's not dictating, he's just a twat with an opinion like everyone else

@parlance2025 @ZeroDarkKitty You’re fine with imports dictating how we should all change things in order for them not to be offended then? You can go with him.

I want this cunt and everyone who thinks like him thrown out of the country immediately

@EconomyComments @ClaireCoutinho The sun and the wind and the tides and the rivers are literally never going anywhere

I say this more as an open question than a statement: My understanding is that the North Sea is a mature basin now in long-term decline. Official estimates put proven + probable reserves at around 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with production already down ~75-77% from 2000, and projections showing output falling sharply over the coming decades. That suggests maybe 20-30 years of meaningful extraction left at anything like current scales, which is a very short horizon for national energy planning. I'm not for full-blown 'net zero' ideology, I think the obsession with arbitrary targets can be counterproductive, but accelerating the shift to renewables (alongside much faster nuclear build-out) seems the more pragmatic long-term path than trying to dramatically reverse the North Sea decline. Reverting back to domestic oil & gas now might buy a bit more time/security in the short term (especially amid crises like the current Iran situation), but we'd still face a cliff-edge when domestic production becomes negligible in a couple of decades, leaving us even more exposed to global markets. Then the same voices currently asking for this might well be the ones asking 'who let us get into this mess?'! Nuclear absolutely needs pushing harder and faster and I agree that's a priority we can all get behind. I just don't follow the logic of banking heavily on something that's geologically imminent to run down, rather than front-loading the alternatives so we're not caught with our trousers down in 20-30 years.

@goughpeter01 @JohnSimpsonNews Whereas it seems you're a guy who just posts random insults and replies to fake celeb accounts How did that happen?

What’s unusual about this charmer is that he gives his real name (I assume) and says where he lives: Bexhill. The great majority of mindless abusers are of course anonymous. Hard to have any respect for people like that.

@PeterBleksley Oh please give over, you've become a parody of yourself

This twat tells us what the English National flag should look like. It’s coming, it’s inevitable, it’s unavoidable…

@wool86477 @BijanOmrani @TypeForVictory What does this have to do with hereditary peers?

@BijanOmrani @TypeForVictory Meanwhile Powell and Bell have switched off their right of reply. PS let’s not forget Joani Reid, wife of alleged Chinese spy, granddaughter of John Reid - #nepolabour

The Benns, Kinnocks, Milibands, Hoyles, Hopkins, Leadbeaters, Eagles, Vazes, Reeves, and Nandys were all unavailable for comment.

@daughterofLlani @dr_besty @WindsorDebs it would be odd if it was true In truth we pay money in these areas because the UK has long benefited from the soft power it gives us What is all this as a percentage of GDP?

@dr_besty @WindsorDebs Odd how it’s only us that’s expected to pay for the rest of the world, isn’t it????

MOT today. £39 to prove my car is roadworthy. £270 for two new tyres. Old ones have plenty of tread but have developed cracks through being constantly battered by potholes. Road Tax due 1st April £195. Diesel now £1.53. Roads not fit for purpose. Where is OUR money going??

@i_r_b_r_m @WindsorDebs There are some good reasons for all of that, but regardless, it's a tiny amount of your tax, isn't it?

@WindsorDebs Here is where your money is going! 👇
