⤵️ Finally Labour and Miliband have remembered that they are the Government.
And that they can make these decisions.
Harriet Cross MP@HarrietCross_MP
The Government could approve Jackdaw and Rosebank today. They could choose to support the UK’s oil & gas sector, its workers and energy supplies today. It’s their choice. 🥀 They’re choosing not to.

@claudelittner Claude is a Trustee of @bloodcancer_uk who doesn’t seem to understand that burning fossil fuels releases carcinogens like benzene, formaldehyde, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, significantly increases cancer risk — particularly lung, breast, and leukemia. 🤦🏻♂️

Finally, Ed's fanatical, farcical, and costly project has been sidelined in favour of economic reality.

@NewsonTed My salary for 43 years contributed to my State Pension through NI contributions you knob.
English
Spending cuts means reducing public spending for everyone. Benefits, migrants, over generous state-pension schemes.
We've got to cut the size of the state to get debt under control, unfortunately that means taking responsibility for your own retirement planning.
English
To the pensioners who were howling at me discussing scrapping the triple lock last night I have just two things to say:
Shouldn't you be nicer considering that my salary pays your pension?
The state pension is a safety net, not a way of life. You've had years to save privately.

‘It’s incomprehensible to me.’ ‘That is a lie!’ Dennis Reed and Ted Newson go head-to-head over whether the triple lock should be protected for pensions. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@claudelittner We import oil and gas from the same oilfield that Miliband is now going to drill in. You couldn’t make this up!

@ZackPolanski We import oil and gas from Norway from the same oilfield that Miliband refuses to drill from. You net zero lunatics have lost the plot.

Ed Miliband has sold us all out.
The climate movement, the environmental sector - and most importantly - our future generations.
No longer can Labour claim to have the odd minister who "gets it."
They're bought and paid for.

@CarolineLucas We import oil and gas from Norway who drill in the same oilfield that Miliband may approve a licence for. This is nuts!
English
More drilling in the North Sea would be a catastrophic mistake for Labour - locking us into high bills, and betraying their climate ambitions
Andrew Pierce@toryboypierce
Now chancellor @RachelReevesMP agrees drilling in North Sea would generate tax revenue. So sack @Ed_Miliband the Cabinet eco fanatic & get on with it

@ClaireCoutinho They’re idiots! We import oil and gas from Norway who drill in the same oilfield that Miliband may grant a licence for. The man is nuts!
English
Many of the staunchest climate advocates have admitted: using our own gas is better than importing dirtier gas from far away.
Anyone who says otherwise is not a ‘scientist’, they’re a complete and total quack and should not be taken seriously.

@BenGrahamUK We import gas and oil from Denmark who drill in the same oilfield. The man is fucking NUTS!!

It's a national embarrassment that it has taken a full blown energy crisis for Ed Miliband to realise that oil and gas production is essential for our economy.
Why would anyone country with oil in the ground, leave it in the ground?

@claudelittner He’s VERY dangerous! If Starmer wants to regain any respectability he should sack him. It won’t happen because Starmer has no balls.

@JRB___2 @SandyofSuffolk I worked continuously for 43 years. Never claimed a benefit in my life. And you call me greedy, selfish and despicable? Fucking shame on you.
English
@SandyofSuffolk Oh STFU Sandy.
You know damn well the problem is the country can’t afford all of these. The size of the state is unsustainable.
Despite this you continue the woe is me line about boomer benefits.
Truly the most greedy, selfish, despicable generation.

Isn't it funny how so many people resent pensioners getting £954 every 4 weeks, but they're happy to fund millions of working age people sitting on their bums all day watching TV because they claim to be anxious, or illegal immigrants living it up in warm hotels eating three meals a day.
Strange old world.

@ThomasWillett9 @SexMattersOrg Because trans women are men. You silly little man.
English
I don’t have strong enough words to describe how cruel, vindictive and abusive @SexMattersOrg is.
Not content with banning trans women from professional sport, they also want to ban them from recreational sport too.
This goes way beyond their charitable status.
Sex Matters@SexMattersOrg
The IOC says its new policy applies only to elite sport. We’re calling for this approach to be adopted in recreational activity too. “‘Protecting the Female Category’, is what every sport governing body needs to do now”. @DerryBanShee quoted in @BBCSport: bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics…

Barry, a gay man, is justly offended by this mangled, patchwork version of masculinity masquerading as progressive identity. But this girl is going to grow up one day, and she's never going to be able to get her body back. I can't help feeling sorry for her.

Anyone else sick of these dangerous women?
