@MarieTidball So they were slightly contained, and now they're not contained at all.

You won't hear a peep about this from Farage, Tice or Jenrick. Under the Tories, up to 400 hotels were being used to house asylum seekers. With Labour, there are now just 185, with 11 more hotels re-opening to the public, saving the taxpayer £65 million a year.

The Oil Lie Oil isn’t rare, it’s also not made from dead dinosaurs. It’s the 2nd most common liquid after water and is the Earth’s lifeblood. The scarcity myth was a Rockefeller lie to dramatically increase the oil price. The system tells you that oil is liquefied dinosaurs (biotic theory) so you believe it's scarce and pay whatever they want. Lie. Oil is abiotic—a liquid mineral generated by the Earth's own engine through high-pressure and high-temperature processes in the mantle. It is the lubricant for tectonic plates. Depleted wells from the 70s have been found to be fuller today than before. Why? Because the Earth's system pumps it from the subsoil. It doesn't run out; it regenerates. By extracting it on a massive scale, we are drying out the Earth's gears. This is why there are more earthquakes and creaking faults: we are stripping the oil from the engine. The fossil theory (coined by the Rockefellers and the Smithsonian in the late 19th century) is the greatest economic hack in history. If oil came from organic matter, it would have a biological signature (nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) that would degrade. Crude oil is pure polymeric hydrocarbon. The Thomas Gold Thesis This expert (whom the system tried to discredit) proved that methane and oil rise from the depths of the mantle. Hydrocarbons are primordial constituents of the Earth's formation. By calling it fossil, they tell you it's a resource that's running out. If Humanity knew that oil is like tap water for the Earth, the geopolitics of the parasites would go down the drain in a single day.

@FraserNelson So you don't want the UK to excel in business, finance, science and technology.

Reform isn't just a party - it's a business empire with unprecedented financial links to crypto and media. To many, this is fine: a new party with a new power base. To others, it's illiberal democracy in the making. At very least, we need the debate:- thetimes.com/comment/column…

@RoyKellySport @afneil It's way more.

@afneil Surely the NHS will be safe under Farage? Didn't he once promise £350m a week extra funding for the NHS if the UK voted to leave the EU? Oh, hang on, that never happened did it?

This is the reason why we can never reform healthcare in the UK — or even have a sensible debate about it. The moment anyone suggests alternative/additional ways of funding health Labour rushes out privatisation smears and claims US private health insurance is being proposed. Labour has been doing it for decades. It explains why the NHS is effectively beyond reform. The two worst health systems in the rich world are in America and the UK. It’s why nobody has ever copied them. It would be mad to go from ours to theirs (or vice versa). But Europe is awash with health systems that can call on several sources of funds, including many with compulsory public health insurance schemes. They have better health outcomes than the NHS. They are free at the point of use (like the NHS). Most of them are better funded. But Labour puts them out of bounds, refuses even to discuss or consider. So patient care suffers. NHS struggles on. Labour is always telling us we need to get closer to Europe. It’s where we belong. But not when it comes to health, where it insists no lessons can be learned. Pretty pathetic, really.

@jeremycorbyn Israel doesn't tolerate your terrorist pals.

The world watched as Israel razed Gaza to the ground. Now, the world is watching as Israel razes Lebanon to the ground. War crimes beget war crimes — and the failure to bring Israel to justice for genocide has emboldened it to destroy human life with total impunity.

@KathrynPorter26 So we pay twice.

Surplus solar starting to cause issues with grid stability in summer. We saw it in the frequency data for last May Bank Holiday and NESO is warning of similar issues this year Some people are celebrating solar being *free" when there's a surplus. Wrong. We're still paying subsidies, backup costs, extra grid costs and higher balancing costs for solar It's not ever free The question is, why is @Ed_Miliband approving yet more solar on farmland, against local opposition when the grid is struggling to cope with it?? Solar just got £65.23 /MWh (£2024) in AR7 for 20 YEARS!!! Once you factor in all the other costs (grid, backup and balancing) it's still more expensive than using gas And at least gas works in winter when we really need it. Solar is creating surpluses in the summer while contributing zero to winter peak demand @ClaireCoutinho @AndrewBowie_MP @griffithafitha @NJ_Timothy @DavidGHFrost @mattwridley @Iromg @AllisonPearson @MerrynSW @EdConwaySky @afneil @KemiBadenoch @neso_energy @energygovuk telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

@ben_halsey30749 @JeremyClarkson Same again in English?

@iambobblehat @JeremyClarkson Mileage equals road usage. Bigger in 2024 than 20 years earlier. Are you thinking that roads that are not driven on still have the same damage as roads that are driven on?! ?

I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

@OliLondonTV What platforms are the most harmful

Robbie Williams and his wife call for the UK to ban children from “the most harmful” social media platforms. “Social media is causing horrific harm to our children.” Do you agree or disagree?

@ZackPolanski The Greens are the most divisive and hateful party in the UK

Orban’s defeat shows that when we stand together against the politics of hate and division, hope wins and the far right friends of Farage can be defeated.

@ben_halsey30749 @JeremyClarkson Vans are 3 tons. mileage is irrelevant.

@iambobblehat @JeremyClarkson Well maybe that is the problem - they might have been built for van traffic in the past. ~2003: ~40 billion miles/year ~2023–2024: ~65–70 billion miles/year

@mehdirhasan One day you'll have something positive to say about Pakistan... Just not for a couple of decades.

Some of the ‘most frequented spots’ by the UK’s elites now owned by the spy chief of a Gulf country. Kinda crazy.

@MarieTidball The more Labour imports staff from the 3rd world, the more we have a 3rd world service, if at all.

Nigel Farage is ‘Open to anything' when it comes to the NHS - which means he isn't committed to an NHS that's free at the point of use! Reform UK are not on your side. While Nigel is 'considering' making you pay, Labour is busy getting the NHS back on its feet 👇

@Daractenus He shrinks the state and the country prospers.. Liberals cry rivers.

Javier Milei, the cartoonishly stupid Argentinian Trump who continues to be hailed as an economic genius: "A company pollutes the river. And? Where is the harm? They can pollute all they want! There's enough water. We'll worry about it when there's a shortage."

@ThomasSowell Is it on Tinder looking for fun times?

I’ll just leave this video here.

@DanNeidle I'm sure he used a qualified accountant. And, hopefully paid insurance .. but you know best.

The deputy leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, owns a property company - Quidnet REIT. From 2020 to 2022 it paid Tice and his trust £600k in dividends. Quidnet should have paid £120k of tax on those dividends. It didn't. A 🧵 with evidence from the company's own filings:

@LizWebsterSBF We do have eyes.

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all. It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media. Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

@DeborahMeaden Carbon dioxide increases crop yield.

Very good point… Climate change has a much bigger effect on yield than a loss of a tiny percentage of land..

@Steve_Laws_ The single mum would probably vote for the Greens

This should've been given to an English single mother with 4 kids or something not wealthy boomers.

@amazingatheist @Chris__X__ The stores can charge what they like because their customers are spending other peoples money!!!

@Chris__X__ The stores aren't taking a loss there. These people's groceries are subsidized by the government. If those people lost this subsidy, the grocery stores would make less money. So how does what you're saying make a lick of sense?

Maybe groceries are so expensive because 42 million people get theirs for free. Just a thought.
