Gerald Hornsby - the Efficient Novelist 🇺🇦

It appears I'm at no.14 on one of Amazon's "Hot New Releases" charts. Beating someone called Chris Ryan. Never heard of him 😉 Someone called Tom Clancy is above me. Never heard of him either 😉 UK: amazon.co.uk/Deceit-grippin… US: amazon.com/Deceit-grippin…

MI5 visited Boris Johnson in No10 & warned against Lebedev's peerage.Why was Lebedev,a Russian (son of a KGB agent)given a life peerage with powers to sit in committees discussing matters of security of state+legislative & scrutiny powers?How was Boris Johnson allowed to do this?

Tories are demanding all the vetting documents on #Mandelson. 2022: Sir Keir #Starmer requests vetting documents on Boris Johnson's appointment of obvious KGB stooge Evgeny #Lebedev to House of Lords. Tories: "Nope." The #Hypocrisy STINKS.

@kerrand @KathyConWom @Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband Probably both.

@KathyConWom @Keir_Starmer @Ed_Miliband No, you nitwit. Norway held on to its North Sea resources and created a sovereign wealth fund. In contrast, Thatcher sold off the UK's oil and gas to international corporations. Nothing to do with net zero. Are you Tories thick or willfully ignorant?

Norway collected £50bn from North Sea oil and gas last year. We collected £4.4bn, having taxed our own producers into closure in pursuit of a #netzero fantasy. I cannot think of a cleaner example of a government failing its people @Keir_Starmer and @Ed_Miliband conservativewoman.co.uk/the-suicidal-m…

Urgent: Nigel Farage says he barely knows Trump. He’s heard of him but he’s never campaigned for him, or modelled himself on him. He DOESN’T want photos like those attached to be circulated at a delicate time with local elections looming. Please DO NOT circulate these.

@KathyConWom @Ed_Miliband Massively state-owned. Tories sold our industries to private investors, who continue to bleed it dry.

While Ed Miliband kills off North Sea gas, Norway pockets £50bn a year from theirs. Funny how that works. @Ed_Miliband conservativewoman.co.uk/what-norway-ca…

@Alexarmstrong a) this has been arranged in advance b) he has not tried to take credit

Keir Starmer: “This is not our war” Also Keir Starmer: jumps on the first plane to Saudi to try and take credit for ending the war. Never has there been such incredible levels of grifting coming out of Downing Street.

@SeanOAHoulston Hahahahahahaha!

Kemi Badenoch is now the most popular party leader in Britain. People want a leader with a plan. This new Conservative Party will get Britain working again. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@brexitblog_info Deluded fool.

Trump was the most pro-UK, anti-EU President in recent history. The EU was as weak as it had been since it was set up. The scene was perfectly set for us to exploit Brexit & leverage our special relationship with the US. Starmer has squandered the whole position. Traitor.

@BorisJohnson Cat check:

@IsabelOakeshott Did you ever see the excruciating Johnson at PMQs?

IF the Prime Minister cannot or will not answer serious questions, then there is no point in PMQs-it’s just bad theatre. He doesn’t deserve an audience

@HarrietCross_MP But it’s not theirs to drill 🤷🏻‍♂️ the leases were sold decades ago to BP SHELL and others. Then the gas and oil is sold on the global market at the global price. None of this makes sense and please make it stop 🤯

@2012jozsef @HarrietCross_MP I wonder what the environmental impact is of X and the right wing hot air generators on it?

@HarrietCross_MP The world cant totally run on solar wind and tidal yet. Still highly dependent on oil and gas supplies where ever it comes from. Green projects are not so clean they make a huge environmental impact due to manufacturing. Also they create a massive blot on our landscapes.

🚨75% want the UK to continue producing from the North Sea🚨 They aren't wrong. 👉End the ban on new licences. Now. 👉End the EPL which drives investment abroad. Now. 👉Permit Jackdaw and Rosebank. Now. Miliband and the Government must know they are getting this wrong.

@BarryF107 @HarrietCross_MP @b_wright_esq Certainly not from a small scale, biased survey from a lobby group.

@HarrietCross_MP @b_wright_esq But Starmer "won't be taking any lessons from anyone..." ☹️

@HarrietCross_MP @Orileyuk1 There’s a reason you’re an MP and yet have about half the number of followers that I do.

@montie Thanks, Tim. We’re mopping up after Trump’s Willy-waving unplanned attacks. And the “two weeks” narrative has been going on for 20 years.

Wrong, I'm afraid. This correct decision is completely consistent with Starmer's position that Britain will support defensive actions especially any that thwart DIRECT Iranian attacks on British assets and allies. I'm one of a small minority of Brits who see the US-led action against Iran as a risky but estimable effort to overthrow or, at least, massively degrade one of history's most poisonous and totalitarian regimes. A regime that would blackmail its neighbours and what's left of the free west if it acquired nuclear weapons - potentially quite soon and so waiting for a better time to act reeks of cowardice. The eight post-WWII decades in which the good guys have held the upper, stronger and winning hand in geopolitics will be over (and, yes, the west is overwhelmingly preferable to all alternative polecon models). But my view is most definitely not the view of a clear majority of Brits and I fear it's a settled view both here and throughout Europe. On this issue Starmer is much more in tune with voters than me. He may even be thinking that the popularity of his Iran stance might save him from a leadership challenge after Labour gets routed in May's elections. The intl lawyer inside him actually may believe in this policy (or at least Ed Miliband does, his govt's increasingly assertive backseat driver) and - exceptionally - voters approve of it. So this is not a u-turn and the chances of one happening in the coming weeks? As likely as a Mandelson return.

@RobertJudd4 @trussliz @RachelReevesMP That’s not how she trashed the economy. Massive unfunded and uncosted tax cuts will do that. And did.

All this ridicule of Liz Truss for trashing the economy by taking government borrowing to a staggering 4.8%. Now under incompetent Rachel Reeves government borrowing is 5.6% YET where is the ridicule and howls of anguish? @trussliz @RachelReevesMP must go! #resign

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

@zatzi It’s not our oil, idiot liar.

“Britain’s largest oil field, Rosebank, could be producing millions of barrels a day by the autumn.” But Ed the Eco-loon won’t sign it off 😡 Ed Miliband’s dangerous green ideology should not be allowed to trump common sense 👇 thesun.co.uk/news/38574389/…

@RonNehring @Conservatives Hahahaha. Lost your deposit at Groton and Denton.

This is a textbook example of turning a party around. She is the most popular party leader in the UK today, @Conservatives are rising, their opponents are falling. It’s great to see. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

@KemiBadenoch Do you know how calendars work?

ONLY a Prime Minister as utterly hopeless and totally clueless as Keir Starmer would press ahead with a hike in fuel duty in the middle of an energy crisis.
