@TiceRichard Empty points, Richard.
If we were as inefficient as the USA, our electricity would be 3x as much energy use. We have reduced energy use per household by ~20%+15 years.
Your second point is meaningless, as you well know.
It's time for you to come out of the dark ages.
English
Jon,
Couple of points:
1) 80% of our energy use is from oil and gas; electricity is only 20%
2) what happens when sun stops shining ?
Jon Burke 🌍@jonburkeUK
At this very moment, solar is providing almost 40% of Britain’s electricity - allowing us to obtain almost 70% of our electricity from zero carbon sources. As soon as we get panels on every roof and a battery in every house, fossil fuels are done. That’s why they’re squealing.
English
@jomickane @TiceRichard @reformparty_uk Yes they can.
Sheep can safely graze, or crops can be grown.
English
Once Solar Panels go onto farmland they can NEVER be used again to grow food.... EVER
This is a Representative from Michigan talking about their potato farms & what happens when solar leeches onto the fields & the heavy metal contamination. This applies to everywhere pushing these things 🤬. They are destroying our farmland
English
Disgraceful appalling decision
We @reformparty_uk will do our best to stop this being built or connected

🚨 NEW: The Government has approved the UK's largest solar farm, Springwell, in Lincolnshire It can produce up to 800MW of electricity, powering over 180,000 homes

@TiceRichard @reformparty_uk Poor little Richard - running off into the past.

@sarah_w_an_h88 @StevenCheung47 What is the contradiction between the two?
Trump is still going to end up in a secure mental facility for the criminally insane.
The question is how much of the USA is left standing.
English
@StevenCheung47 This morning they were crying that Trump was a “war criminal”, now Trump has allowed the US to suffer our “biggest strategic defeat”!! 🫠
English
You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about you loser. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of because you clearly can’t read.
Owen Jones@owenjonesjourno
This is Iran's 10 point plan - which Trump has accepted as "a workable basis on which to negotiate." Have no doubt: This is the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since its emergence as a superpower.

@LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Moron.
If it is severely crippled, as Chump keeps claiming before doing yet another TACO, why has Trump not ordered the USN through Hormuz?
Because the USN has told Chump that his claims are self-serving baloney, and it is quite likely their ships could be sunk.
English
I just had a great conversation with @POTUS. I totally support his ultimatum to the Iranian regime to open up the Strait of Hormuz and to do a peace deal.
A massive military operation awaits Iran if they choose poorly.
This regime has been severely crippled through Operation Epic Fury. Their reign of terror against the region and the world needs to come to an end, hopefully through a peace deal.
After speaking with President Trump this morning, I am completely convinced that he will use overwhelming military force against the regime if they continue to impede the Strait of Hormuz and refuse a diplomatic solution to achieve our military objectives. If it’s not clear to Iran and others by now that President Trump means what he says then I don’t know when it will ever be.
Choose wisely.
English
@BorisJohnson You stupid, stupid fuckwit, Boris.
This is Trump's vanity war, with the Donald led by the nose by Netanyahu like the deranged fool he is.
He only wants others involved as he knows he failed & need victims to blame. In that respect he is just like you.
Be loyal to the UK, FFS.

@wallaceme @ToryWipeout A bit simplistic, Mark.
Selection and presentation of facts often IS partisan.

@ToryWipeout Facts aren’t partisan

📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea. Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get? Our MEGA primer on the North Sea👇 Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right. Let me know what you think
English
@wallaceme Strange. Addressing new reserves will take 5 or 10 years & the prices are set at world prices anyway - so Kemi is chasing imagined rainbows.
I can see sense in somewhat reducing the taxes put in place by one of the Conservative PM's to eke out the existing, but that is about it.
English
@LeeAndersonMP_ @reformparty_uk There's a lot of nonsense here, Lee.
There is far more here than just a cycle track as you know. It is the start of a planned decent network.
You should not be turning major improvements for pedestrians & disabled people into a political football.
FFS pull your socks up.

Newsflash.
@reformparty_uk led councils are already purchasing these machines.
Two more arriving in Nottinghamshire in 3 weeks time.
And btw 4 years ago under the previous Tory administration we had the chance to buy a couple for 200k each but the Tory councillors said they were a waste of money and instead spent 500k on a cycle lane in Ashfield that runs for 50 yards.
People do not have short memories.
No one believes you.

@MikeNellis This is just Vance signalling about the American Myth of small town pre-Civil War USA to the white evangelicals he needs to support him as well as the Integralist Roman Catholics.
Vance is so cynical that he would become a Branch Davidian if it got him into the Oval Office.

JD Vance using a photo of a Methodist church on the cover of his book about CATHOLICISM is some real Veep-level shit.

is there a single MAGA Man in the entire USA who is not a complete shitforbrains?
LongTime🤓FirstTime👨💻@LongTimeHistory
MAGA man looking to call ICE at the airport—on Iraqi soccer fans traveling for the World Cup. He runs into crowd and tears up the homemade banner that fans were holding—written in Arabic and Spanish. "You're in America!" he yells. "You don't come to America and do that!" Traveling to support Iraq in a World Cup 2026 qualifier playoff match vs. Bolivia in Monterrey, Mexico. The incident occurred near Gate D12 in the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump says Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) MUST win reelection in Maine this year
"Collins...I hope she wins. She's a good person, actually. We have to win and keep the majority."

@EricLDaugh LOL. If it's the weakest ever why do they not just sail the USN through Hormuz, I wonder?

🚨 HOLY SMOKES!! Sec. Marco Rubio just delivered a mic drop moment in the Cabinet room
"What I'm talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are RADICAL, SHIA CLERICS. These are religious FANATICS. Look what they are doing now at their WEAKEST point!"
"This is the weakest Iran has ever been, and look at what they're doing. They're attacking embassies. They're attacking hotels. Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon!"
"That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president's not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world!"
"He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran's navy, and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn't already happened, I'll let Pete speak to the specifics of it, we were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities."
"We're well on our way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn't make more missiles and more drones. And that is moving forward."
"Every single objective the president clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated."
"For 47 YEARS, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to DO something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act."
"And THIS president's not someone that's going to refuse to act. He's not going to leave a danger like this in place. He's going to address it, and that is what he is doing."
You make us PROUD, MARCO 🇺🇸
