Drilling for Oil and Gas Will not Reduce Bills or Deliver Energy Security. Here’s Why | UKERC | The UK Energy Research Centre ukerc.ac.uk/news/drilling-…

Ban corporate donations to UK political parties to protect elections, says thinktank. Must ban all political donations. Anything less is unenforceable. It is bribery by corporations and the super rich. They buy power. Any ceiling will favour the rich. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop. Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box! The more we return, the less they will send!

@TiceRichard @Ed_Miliband Here is what they actually said and you seem to ignore most of it

Shadowy minister for tax avoidance

Anyone who is interested in A) a genuinely free and democratic media B) how to avoid our media becoming like Trumpland Putinland Orbanland C) big money in our politics D) regulators and politicians being asleep at the wheel please read this brilliant piece of real journalism by Alan Rusbridger and HMG FFS please wake up and see what is actually going on.

"Claims that drilling in the North Sea will significantly save households money are “sheer fantasy”, experts have warned as analysis showed renewables could cut bills by hundreds of pounds. Analysis by the University of Oxford Smith School showed a UK fully powered by renewable energy, with electricity coming from clean sources and people using technology such as electric heat pumps for their home heating, could save households up to £441 a year on bills. In contrast, maximising oil and gas extraction from the North Sea would save households just £16 to £82 a year – and that saving would only be delivered if the tax revenues collected from fossil fuel companies were redistributed to families to offset their energy bills." #Scotland thenational.scot/news/25939603.…

In 2025, renewable energy provided 44% of British electricity. Three of the Top 5 British electricity decarbonisation records occurred in 2025. The relentless attacks on renewables are the fossil fuel industry fighting death. Killing renewables is matter of survival for them.

Fossil fuels are a system you have to keep feeding. Solar, wind & batteries are a system that keeps producing clean, renewable energy. One burns. One earns. This isn’t an energy transition… it’s a business model collapse. ⚡#Bettrification #Solar #Wind #BESS #EV #Disruption

Reform spends every day telling voters the system is rigged by wealthy elites. Then their own MP avoids £600k in tax using the very structures ordinary people can’t access. That’s not rebellion that’s hypocrisy.

If you want Baroness Michelle Mone removed from the House of Lords and to repay the £136,000,000 owed to taxpayers, please RT!

Fossil fuels have spent their life on subsidies, remain the most subsidised thing on the planet and have caused numerous energy crisis but the fossil fuel companies spend billions to ensure you focus on subsidies for wind and solar rather than all of the above.

Reform voters spent months raging about Angela Rayner’s tax affairs, calling it corruption and demanding investigations. Now questions are raised about Richard Tice and suddenly it’s “a witch hunt” and “media bias”. Same issue. Very different outrage.

Ignore the fossil fuel propaganda; here’s the facts: 1/ There is no “our oil/gas”. We privatised it in the 80s. 2/ Extraction peaked in 1999. 3/ We have refinery capacity for just 20% of North Sea oil. 4/ With new licences, extraction will still fall by 95% from now to 2050.

Ed Miliband, "The price of gas is set on the international market, whether it comes from the north sea, or is imported" "We're price taker and not a price maker" "There is one lesson from this crisis, and only one lesson" "We need homegrown clean power that we can control" "We cannot keep being on this fossil fuel roller coaster" Thank you for the clear explanation @Ed_Miliband - please do this every time the subject is raised and get the message across 👏

🇳🇴 Norway took its oil wealth and built the world’s largest sovereign wealth fund — investing in pensions, healthcare, and the future. 🇬🇧 Britain sold ours off in the 1980s, handed control to private corporations, and spent the revenues on short-term tax cuts. 🔴 Today, Norway has one of the highest standards of living in the world — while the UK is stuck managing decline. 🔵 Thatcher’s Conservative govt was responsible for handing over control of North Sea oil to private corporations, dismantling public ownership, and prioritising free-market policies over long-term public wealth. Thatcher forfeited long-term public income from oil in favour of short-term privatisation proceeds and tax cuts. 🔴 Norway, by contrast, retained public control and built up the $1.6 trillion Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund from its oil wealth. The UK spent most of its oil revenues on general government spending during the 1980s, with little legacy investment.
