Oxford Smith School: "if all UK households switched to renewable energy, bills could be reduced by £105-£441 per household per year on average" But read on: "We do not explicitly include the costs of intermittency from the switch to renewables" Ie, those numbers are misleading

Mayor of Bath apologises for branding Golders Green Jewish ambulance attack 'Israeli false flag operation' SORRY is not bloody Good Enough, he needs to RESIGN those comments he made we’re and are ABHORRENT!

Everyone continues to report that Morgan McSweeney told the Met Police his phone had been snatched by a balaclava-clad man on a bike. There is no mention of a balaclava in the police transcript of his call to report the crime. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Staggering. But also not

Here is the full speech. You can hear the sighs and moans from Labour after about a minute when I raised the rape gangs. This is exactly the mentality that meant the gangs have operated unimpeded for years. They never learn.

I still haven’t come across an image which captures the problem in Birmingham more perfectly than this one.

Linking UK and EU ETS prices will increase the running costs of data centres. Recently US tech companies announced nearly £30 billion of investment in the UK, partly because it is a better place to do business than the EU. Do they know the PM is increasing their energy bills via EU alignment?

🚨 Er... this seems important, just casually loaded on .gov. The government is going to remove a layer of public transparency by stopping consultations with the public. It will ask Ai to help determine what public consultations are unnecessary (Will those be defined as consultations the government knows wont give them the answers it wants) How will we ever know? And how will they know if we agree or not? they won’t and that’s the point. Wow, Shocking 💣

The Future Homes Standard: - Means that from 2028 new homes CANNOT be on the gas network - Your home HAS to have solar panels on the roof, equivalent to 40% of the ground floor area - It will cost £10,000 more to build Homes designed by Ed Miliband, paid for by you...

🍺 SPOT THE ODD ONE OUT 🍺 (Hint: it’s the one killing its own pubs) 🇫🇷 France — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇪🇸 Spain — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇮🇹 Italy — Hospitality VAT 10% 🇩🇪 Germany — Hospitality VAT 7% 🇧🇪 Belgium — Hospitality VAT 12% 🇮🇪 Ireland — Hospitality VAT 9% 🇬🇧 United Kingdom — Hospitality VAT 20% Same industry. Same food. Same drink. Same jobs. But one country decided pubs were a luxury - not a cultural asset! Then we act surprised when: 🍺 Pint prices rise 🍽️ Eating out costs more 🏚️ Pubs shut ✈️ It’s cheaper to drink abroad It’s not the pub being greedy. It’s yet more tax! You can’t squeeze pubs dry…then act surprised when they close! Share if you think UK pubs deserve fairer VAT - not a punishment rate! #GrumpyLandlord #HospitalityVAT #SpotTheOddOneOut #pubs #vat #SaveOurPubs 🍺 This needs addressing @reformparty_uk @RobertJenrick @Nigel_Farage @LeeAndersonMP_ @ZiaYusufUK @drdavidbull #reformuk

I am appalled by the government's proposal to break up the great County of Essex into five unitary authorities, which is simply not acceptable. My constituents don't want this, and they were not part of any engagement. How can the Labour government justify to my constituents, why they should be paying more in council tax for a costly and undemocratic policy they do not support.

The past heads of our security services have today said we must urgently proscribe Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps because of threats posed to British citizens on UK soil. For several years, I have called on the Government to proscribe the IRGC to protect the UK, including directly asking the then Prime Minister in November 2023 👇🏻 In the interests of national security, the Government must act now.

Rod Liddle gets it. The left doesn't hate Jews because it hates Israel:

The head of M&S has accused the government of driving up the cost of energy bills for businesses amid mounting concern about the impact of Iran war Stuart Machin said government levies now account for half of his company's energy costs 'Over the last few years the 'policy costs' on our energy bill have skyrocketed 'These are the tariffs that government place on our bills to fund their policies, and have nothing to do with the price of oil or gas. They now make up over half our bill. It's just not sustainable for UK businesses'

So, Lindsey Hoyle @CommonsSpeaker tells Sunak, 'he shouldn't criticise other members, also you're not responsible for other parties, you are the Prime Minister that's answering the questions, not asking the questions.... now Hoyle refuses to demand answers from Starmer. #TwoTier

Here is what happens to a blade of grass whether or not a cow is present. The grass grows. To grow, it pulls carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This carbon becomes the grass. The grass contains it. The sun drives this process. The rain enables it. Now two scenarios. Scenario one: no cow. The grass completes its growing season. It dies. It decomposes. Bacteria and fungi break down the organic matter. The carbon that was in the grass returns to the atmosphere as CO2. This takes weeks to months. The cycle is complete. Atmospheric carbon is unchanged. Scenario two: cow present. The grass grows. The cow eats it. The cow's rumen ferments it. Methane is produced. The methane enters the atmosphere. Over the following ten to twelve years, atmospheric hydroxyl radicals oxidise the methane back into CO2. The CO2 is absorbed by the next season's grass. The carbon goes: atmosphere → grass → cow → atmosphere → grass. In scenario one: atmosphere → grass → atmosphere. The destination is the same. The route is slightly longer in scenario two. The net atmospheric carbon at the end of each cycle is identical. The cow did not add carbon to this system. The carbon was already there. It was in the grass. It was going back to the atmosphere regardless. The cow is not the source. The cow is a temporary stop on a journey that was happening with or without her. This is the biogenic carbon cycle. It has a Wikipedia page. It is not obscure. It is simply inconvenient for the argument.

Isn't this strange... Labour Together deleted this post from X showing an LT event at 2023 Labour conference, addressed by Peter Mandelson, @jreynoldsMP and hosted by Josh Simons. This screengrab was taken two weeks ago, so only deleted since then. Would be a shame if it was shared, widely, so it never disappears.

Rachel Reeve’s just ‘topped’ another league table. The most downgraded set of growth forecasts. Expect her to blame Iran, AI, ‘global warming’ and the ‘wrong kind of leaves’ on the tracks. But the data doesn’t lie.

Olympics to announce transgender ban in all women’s sport. The female category to be returned to females at the Olympics. This must also happen at grass roots & recreational. Sex based protected cannot only be for the top 1% telegraph.co.uk/gift/4166318ea…

An ex-government adviser confirmed today that meetings were held during the Autumn recess to discuss what to do if “they come for Morgan’s messages”. One week after Parliament returned, McSweeney reported his phone as “stolen”, directing the police to the wrong address.
