@SBarrettBar I know she lost her sister but she is awful and it really sums why the government is failing when it is populated with people of such low intelligence.

Woman who wants power to kill makes threats when told no.
These narcissists are dangerous.
Care not killing. Nurses and hospices not threatening psychos.
Dignity in Dying@dignityindying
The House of Lords has “signed its own death warrant.” Kim Leadbeater MP warns a minority of Peers are damaging the legitimacy of the House by blocking the public and MP-backed assisted dying Bill.

@NadiaWhittomeMP He stated his opinion, it’s called free speech get used to it.
English
Within just 48 hours of the Tories refusing to sack Nick Timothy for his Islamophobic comments, the far-right is circulating a list of MPs “of foreign descent” trying to “silence” him.
This is what happens when racism is normalised from the top: democratically elected representatives being told that we shouldn't be allowed to make decisions here at all, and even that we should leave the country.
It’s a racist attack on our very democracy. Will Nick and his party condemn it?

@GrafhamWBirder @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately Indeed but recently as our energy has got more expensive we have lost chemical, fertiliser and steel industries. The stupidity is that it is a vicious circle as fertiliser now imported has to pay a £50 per tonne carbon tax which puts up prices on food.
English
@simonjonesFPFS @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately Lots of drivers behind offshoring of manufacturing. Many of which came along before we were worried about co2 levels.
English
On BBC Question Time,
@Helen_Whately just said ‘we can’t afford Net Zero’ . She is a human health hazard and grossly misinformed or lying . Time to call out the lunatics leading us to hell . No facts , no truth , no integrity - no hope.
English
@GrafhamWBirder @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately That’s as maybe but they are still opening a coal power station every week to keep power prices low so they can manufacture for export. All we are doing is hiding our carbon emissions by offshoring all our manufacturing.
English
@simonjonesFPFS @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately CO2 per person is lower in China than most other countries.
They are building more nuclear power stations than any other country.
They are significantly investing in renewables.
This is what is helping to drive their economy. The west is lagging behind!!
English
@tothepiste @ejwwest @ChrisGPackham @TheDisproof @Helen_Whately Agreed we should have built more nuclear but relying on renewables to run a grid is economic madness.
English
@simonjonesFPFS @ejwwest @ChrisGPackham @TheDisproof @Helen_Whately Using fossil fuels that expose us to massive price shocks like the Ukraine war and the current one that’s going to feed though to energy prices in the next year is too risky and expensive.
English
@GrafhamWBirder @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately Yes but not in a way that damages their economies, and china is straight up taking advantage.
English
@simonjonesFPFS @ChrisGPackham @ejwwest @Helen_Whately Much of the world is reducing co2 emissions. It’s a global effort.
You know that, right?
English
@ejwwest @ChrisGPackham @TheDisproof @Helen_Whately It’s too expensive when we are the only country doing it, we are destroying our economy with ideology whilst other countries take advantage.
English
@ChrisGPackham @TheDisproof @Helen_Whately When anyone says “net zero” is too expensive, ask them “compared to what?”. Because “do nothing” is more expensive and “adaptation” will continue forever. Both are totally uncosted. And those saying net zero is too expensive won’t fund adaptation either. #bbcqt

@HumzaYousaf Why did the Muslims try to stop a Christian preacher by saying it was a Muslim area then? Hypocrite
English
We all know why Nick Timothy MP singles out Muslims celebrating Ramadan in Trafalgar Sq.
Not because praying is domination, but because he wants to blow a rabid anti-Muslim dog whistle for political gain.
He should be nowhere near politics, let alone the shadow front bench.

@dailybritainonx Wealth taxes have never worked anywhere they have been tried, why do you think yours would be different?
English
“We know a wealth tax wouldn’t fix everything,” he said. “No one has ever pretended it would, but it would be a very good place to start!
“Implementing a 1% tax on wealth over £10m and 2% on £1bn would raise around £50bn per year and it would send a very clear message that those who have accumulated the most money would pay a little bit more.
“Get that money flowing through the economy, make sure it is benefitting everyone.
“For a truly progressive government, a wealth tax needs to be a day one priority.”
@ZackPolanski said “all of the levers we have” would need to be pulled to truly “get the economy moving.”
English
@NEF @ZackPolanski They have been getting subsidies for 20years so why are they not doing it already?
English
Zack Polanski: wind and solar power will insulate us from price shocks caused by the war in Iran.
We hosted Green Party leader @ZackPolanski to kick off NEF's 40th birthday celebrations today.
English
@TheGreenParty How does nationalising water make it cheaper?
English
Our priorities are clear:
Make life more affordable.
Protect the majority over the wealthy elite.
Protect our planet for generations to come.
English
Covering 3% of the UK with solar would generate as much electricity as the UK uses in a year.
We have the solutions.
English
The current Labour MPs simply have no intellectual depth to them
That is why they argue like sassy teenagers from 80s sitcoms and take simplistic positions
The Labour MPs of the party's intellectual past must be spinning.

No one instructed me to do anything nick. My conscience sees a man seeking to foster division and hatred against a religious minority and calls it out because it’s wrong and dangerous. If you think Islam is unique in demanding one god alone be worshipped, the Ten Commandments will blow your mind….

Great to be out and about in Botesdale doing what I love best, talking with residents about their issues and concerns as well as explaining my plan for #Hartismere Division @SuffolkTories @suffolkcc elections 26
English
@Elmono404 @DaleVince Explain to me how a business that pays a 78% tax rate is getting a subsidy? Also why did the head of British Gas say that even if the gas price went to zero electricity bills would still increase due to the subsidies to renewables.
English
@simonjonesFPFS @DaleVince Fossil fuels receive far more in subsidies than renewables on an industry which is fully established
The energy crisis wasn't caused by renewables it was caused by gas
Our exposure to Ffuels underlines the urgency for us to end our dependency on them & become energy independent
English
Drill Baby Drill is a fantasy, what a surprise.
And global markets set the price we pay for our own North Sea oil and gas - this is the reason. I’ve been saying it for years - this report from Oxford, reported by GB News - confirms it all. This is a fossil fuel crisis and we can't solve it by pouring more oil onto the fire. We need to end our ruinous dependency on fossil fuels and global markets setting the price we pay for that and for our own green energy (the most stupid policy in the world of energy?). True energy independence is to power ourselves with green energy made and priced here.
Until we have that we’ll suffer massive economic harm every few years on the rollercoaster of global oil markets.

@jonburkeUK As I have asked you before, can wind generate all the time? If the answer is no then you are just like a gambler only telling people when he wins.
English
Sorry Kathryn, yesterday wind provided 54.9% of U.K electricity; renewables 58.5%; and gas a paltry 17.8%.
Last year, domestic renewables provided 44% of U.K electricity.
You realise I can use the internet, right?
Kathryn Porter@KathrynPorter26
@jonburkeUK Yesterday gas was the biggest form of generation The forecast for Thursday is for wind to drop to 875 MW at lunchtime Relying on the weather is a fool's game
English
@smthngnope @jonburkeUK lol Tory common sense, don’t rely on power sources that only work when the wind is blowing or it’s light!
English
Britain’s electricity is currently 72% zero carbon.
We’re defeating the oil barons, petro-state dictators, paid fossil fuel lobbyists, and every right wing grifter on the internet one wind turbine at a time.
Cool Britannia is so back…🇬🇧⚡️♻️🔋😎

@SBarrettBar Are yes the famous we have made up our minds but to add a bit of legitimacy we shall do a consultation. Seen it done times by our local council.
English
The Government consultation on Digital ID
Doesn't allow the respondents to say no.
👹👹👹🤡🤡🤡
Big Brother Watch@BigBrotherWatch
🆔Government to public: Do you want digital ID checks to be used to enforce a social media ban for under-16s ☐ Yes ☐ Definitely yes ☐ Strongly yes ☐ Yes 100% The “consultation” doesn’t appear to have a box for disagreeing.
