@TheGreenParty Funny, I thought the top 1% pay 30% of taxes 🤔. Let's just tax the rich to the hilt, reduce business activity, collapse GDP, and we'll all get poorer, but it'll let this Greeny feel satisfied with her virtue signalling.

"You’ve got to start taxing the rich and actually making them pay." Green Party peer Jenny Jones on making sure the wealthiest actually pay what they owe on BBC Politics Live.

@Artemisfornow The Robert Maxwells of the political world. If they knew how to grow an economy they would be able encourage investment firms to buy into their projects instead of this government managed larceny. They should loose their gold plated taxpayer funded pensions for this.

‼️ WTF? Whilst you were distracted … Labour has just voted through powers to FORCE pension funds to invest your money in UK government ‘priorities’. Meaning Labour effectively takes control of up to 10% of your private pension to invest in bollocks. I call that theft. How dare the government take MY money for their projects. WTF?

@BotFinderUK @LouSirr101 You make assumptions on political allegiance based upon someone questioning your post. You're actually quite a moronic pillock.

@LouSirr101 @lcfc_man He loves to suck tory coq

HMRC lost £500bn last year due to the richest avoiding tax. That's enough to re-arm the country and build 100 new hospitals with 50,000 new nurses. Why do the rich hate this country?

@StuartSlaney2 @BotFinderUK What's that got to do with this post? Are you implying that anyone who disagrees with the failed socialist economics of "tax, tax, tax the rich" are automatically Reform supporters?

@lcfc_man @BotFinderUK Wait till Farage gets in. There will be people dying in the streets

@angelaeales @BotFinderUK I'm not sure he understands grammar - the apostrophes confuse him somewhat.

@BotFinderUK @lcfc_man Which bit didn’t you understand? Do you need fewer syllables?

@MarieTidball Just pushed them out into HMOs in the middle of cities - what a win 🤔

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.

@RobertJudd4 @hol40900 Bang on 👍. The zeolots have no answer for wind and solar having such low average generation factors. Without massive energy storage (which won't be viable for decades, if ever), fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro etc will need to provide the base generation for the foreseeable future.

Everyone in this energy sector and the government accepts UK will need fossil fuels long into the future and beyond 2050, stop putting all UK eggs into wind and solar, its not cutting bills, keep developing our own gas and oil,while we look at clean nuclear, look at brilliant untapped hydro, stop this EV fixation with expensive battery manufacture & enormous heavy vehicles, use hydrogen fuel cells, no range anxiety, no massive impractable charging net work, fill it like a petrol car, byproduct is water, HGVs currently unable to be EVs can use it along with plant machinary. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Caroline Lucas is right. North Sea output has collapsed, investment is falling off a cliff and new fields would take years to come online. Renewables already generate over half our electricity—and do it faster, cheaper, and without wrecking the climate.🌍

@Stemis3 @SaulStaniforth The climate lobby and Greens seem to ignore this fact.

@SaulStaniforth What it would bring in is tax revenue, jobs, foreign earnings and provide Europe with energy security.

Caroline Lucas explains why more drilling in the North Sea wouldn't bring our energy prices down & it would take years to come on line, but what will bring prices down is more renewables & energy efficiency, its quicker to achieve and it doesn't drive climate change #GMB

@nexta_tv Time is limited for Dmitry Medvedev, as it is with Putin.

🚨Germany, UK, and Poland on Russia’s “target list” Russia has published a list of European factories allegedly producing drones and equipment for Ukraine. The list includes facilities in Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic — as well as companies in Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Israel. Medvedev reacted on X, saying the Defense Ministry’s statement should be taken literally: “When the strikes become reality depends on what happens next. Sleep well, European partners!” In reality, this reads as a direct threat toward NATO and EU countries.

@RubyBeech He's not strong enough a leader to stand up to the hoards of Ladour hard left wingers. Most of these know they'll lose their seats at the next election and will not yield on their idealistic mission.

Absolutely! Not perfect - no PM ever has been or will be- but such an improvement on the 3 we had in the last Parliament.

@DamianLow3 He's like the proverbial used car salesman.

Absolutely vile. JD Vance: Stopping funding for Ukraine is one of the things I’m proudest we’ve done in this administration.

@ClarkeIanm @BladeoftheS @c_love888 He's absolutely no idea what he's talking about - another clueless self proclaimed environmentalists spouting gibberish.

@BladeoftheS @c_love888 Sorry. What does '$667KW' mean?

There is a new rage over 'mini-nuclear reactors'. Here's some facts. First ones aren't until AT LEAST 2035. They cost $667KW, that's the highest cost of ANY electricity. Twice regular Nuclear, 10x Wind and 15x Solar. It's utterly useless nonsense.

@SwampWatch70364 @MiltonicMindset @bphillipsonMP Absolutely!

@MiltonicMindset @bphillipsonMP Phillipson is an idiot thats why - Well out of her depth

Our future lies with our European partners. Students, apprentices, educators and young people will soon be able to study, work and experience all Europe has to offer through Erasmus+. timeshighereducation.com/news/british-c…

@edwinhayward Technology, engineering and the market should direct the travel for powering transport. It should not be directed by politicians and environmentalists placing unreal targets and subsidies.

The tail end of the internal combustion engine industry will be messy, and hard to predict. There will come a time when there are still plenty of ICE vehicles on the road, yet not enough to keep anything like the current number of petrol stations in business. What happens then?

@EuromaidanPress @davidericstan But russia's doing pathetically in Ukraine, so how worried should we be?

Russia passed a bill in first reading that would give Putin the right to deploy troops to any country where Russian citizens face "oppression" or "Russophobia" The playbook is identical to what preceded the war against Ukraine euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/14/rus…

@Tw_timerAlder Could also be to do with tax and jobs!!

British gas produced from British fields in the North Sea supplies roughly 47.5% to 49% of the country's total demand. How come our gas isn’t already cheaper than Europe’s or as cheap as US gas? Why would a bit more British Gas make our gas cheaper? Can someone explain?

@RachelReevesMP Well, if you're committed to de-escalation then it must happen - you have so much influence 🤣🤣

We didn’t start this war. We didn’t want it. And working families in a cost of living crisis shouldn’t have to pay the price for it. That’s why this government is focused on de-escalation and keeping energy bills down. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

@SeargentNeal @DamianLow3 That'll be great when we're under the cosh from Russian missiles. Welfare spending won't be much help then. Military spending reductions and appeasement didn't help Chamberlain.

@DamianLow3 We need welfare not war fair .

Good performance by Starmer showing again the value of a serious leader in times of trouble. He's drawn a dividing line between himself and Badenoch / Farage who led the cheerleading for Trump's war of choice. Now Labour must follow through on defense spending. #PMQs

@DamianLow3 Are you living in another dimension? Even on James O'Brien's PMQs analysed (usually Labour biased) Starmer was seen as dodging all the questions even more than usual, and that's pretty difficult.
