Let's assume Britain 🇬🇧 achieves Net Zero. If you are not aware it would reduce world temperatures by 0.001 degrees Centigrade. If the world goes Net Zero, world🌎temperatures would drop by 0.1 degrees centigrade. We are being gaslit and lied to on a Biblical scale.

This bird just found out that golf balls bounce on concrete, and he’s having the time of his life.

@RoyalNavyVet RIP

Today, on the 44th anniversary of the Sheffield being hit by an Exocet I pay my respects to our Shipmate, Bob. A Sheffield survivor who carried the weight of that day until he crossed the bar in 2023 and found his peace. To Bob and the 20 men killed that day RIP, GBNF

@sophielouisecc Correct me if I’m wrong but those households on benefits don’t pay income tax or council tax?

More than 600,000 households across the country are now getting paid more in benefits than the average family earns from work. Yet it’s those who work that are having to pay for those who don’t, to have a better standard of living than they do. Wrong on every level

@philip_pbm339 @Whirlygig5 Is that one with the fat arse actually Matt Lucas wearing a wig?

These pair stealing Reform banners. Make them famous.

@EHChalus Parody?

Starmer is respected on the international stage. Can you imagine the laughingstock the UK would be if either perpetually outraged Badenoch or furtive Farage was in charge?

@Highwayman114 RIP

Remembering those lost this day on HMS Sheffield

@IsabelOakeshott @WelshCelt @reformparty_uk Little Britain.

🛑 QUESTION: WHO are these little flowers? They are breaking the law by pulling down ⁦@reformparty_uk⁩ posters in the north west. Let’s make them famous…

Isn’t it just great that we have a REAL statesman now?

@MPFed RIP

Remembering PC Ian Swadling, of the Metropolitan Police, who died on duty on this day in 2011. #LestWeForget

@UKLabour Breakfast clubs are paid for by us, not you. Renters rights sound nice, assuming you have any houses left for rent. NHS outcomes are actually worse on your watch You haven’t cut energy bills Raising the minimum wage is no use if people are sat on benefits

@ScotsPolFed RIP

Remembering PC Dougie Wiggins, of Police Scotland, who died on duty on this day in 2016 #LestWeForget

The Forties Pipeline System (FPS) This is the pipeline system that carries most of the oil from the North Sea to the UK. It collects the oil from 85 different North Sea oilfields, and flows around 550,000 barrels of oil per day back to the UK mainland. For context, in total the North Sea has around 400 offshore platforms between the UK and Norway, producing and exporting both oil and gas. FPS is a British oil pipeline system. Exploration drilling for North Sea oil is currently banned on the UK Continental Shelf. It has been since the current government came to power. As a result of the drilling ban, the Forties Pipeline System is currently uninvestable according to its owner INEOS. They haven’t invested in its upkeep for 2 years. INEOS have said the pipeline will close by 2035, but without investment maybe as early as 2030, which is now just 3.5 years away. 550,000 barrels / day is equivalent to 38.96 GW of primary energy. This is 10x more energy than the UK’s new Hinkley Point C nuclear power project, which is projected to cost £48 billion for 3.2GW of electrical power. Electrical energy is joule for joule more valuable than chemical energy, but the comparison of scale is real. 38.9 GW is more energy than the entire National Grid carries. The largest energy system in the UK is not the grid it is this underwater pipeline system. With drilling banned, and the North Sea entering a period of forced closure, the Forties Pipeline System is going to close in the not too distant future. Once the pipeline is no longer economical, the entire Central North Sea oil production will collapse with it. This isn’t something that closes down gracefully, the entire Central North Sea basin reaches market through a single pipe. BP recently announced they are selling up their remaining assets and getting out, Exxon, Chevron, etc are all already long gone. Nobody wants their brand near this collapse. The tax rate is 78%, the government wants this national infrastructure to shut down. It will. The German Chancellor recently called their nuclear fleet closure a “Strategic Blunder”, interesting choice of words. But I think it was obviously a blunder to anyone outside their propaganda bubble. Likewise the UK’s North Sea. The German nuclear fleet averaged 10.3 GW of primary energy output over its operational life, which is around 1/4 the primary energy of the Forties Pipeline System. The UK has a few other pipeline systems but this one is by far the largest and the most critical. Now this infrastructure, isn’t supposed to last forever. But when it goes you should have a plan. In the UK nobody talks about this. It’s taboo. A lot of people think “yeah but they won’t let that happen”… well it happened in Germany, and it happened in Japan. A lot of people want it to happen, and a lot of those people are in politics. So what replaces this? Nothing? Is the UK just going to go silently into the night?

@JohnSlinger 😂😂. We see you.

Asylum hotels massively cut. Small boat crossings down. Crime falling. Constituents have told me they want a system that is firm, fair and works. That is the system Labour is building. #Security #Rugby

@JohnCrookes7 Honesty and decency my arse.

The fact that Sir Keir Starmer's opponents want him gone shows how much they fear his ongoing success will deny them the opportunity of being elected to government. His honesty and decency is a breath of fresh air and we are lucky to have him in charge.
