@GarethOW_LibDem One word wrong

"And this is why I'm defecting from the Reform party"... Well, that didn't last long.

@GarethOW_LibDem One word wrong, it was obviously from too , I didn't see security take me off stage for that minor slip.

Energy bills up and the answer from Ed Miliband to the hospitality industry is… switch off the beer 🍺 fridge. That’s not a policy, it’s an admission you’ve got nothing and are out of ideas The UK deserves so much better than this #Hospitality #Energy

It is recognised that a minimum of 13 Post Masters committed suicide as a result of the Post Office scandal. This man has no shame and should not be in public office

It is hard for an infantry soldier to return to civvie street, once he or she has been separated from their natural environment and stopped from doing what they know best, i.e., how to kill people, dig big holes and eat COMPO babies’ heads, dead man’s fingers and the strange cheese which was said to be actually possessed. These individuals are basically unemployable in the CIVPOP environment. It is my opinion that they should be sent back into the wild where they belong. Sennybridge would be a good place. Civvy Street is not where they belong. Infantry................. Providing targets for anybody since 1066. Clive Ward Infantry Veteran Please Share BULLIES AND BULLSHIT Warning!

A weak Prime Minister at home makes for a weak Prime Minister on the international stage. A man focused on process not outcome. More concerned with his back benchers than our most vital security partner. @bbclaurak

Starmer is worried about the elections and losing votes , and not about the Country's interests!!!!

🇬🇧 Defence and the Green Party Russia flexing China flexing War in 🇺🇦 War in #iran Missiles landing on British sovereign territory What does the leadership of the @TheGreenParty want to do with defence spending? Answer: they don't know Irresponsibly ignorant party

It shouldn’t have taken an Iranian attack on the world’s largest gas export facility in Qatar for us to realise the benefits of being able to produce our own oil and gas. As the world gets more dangerous, we must ditch fantasy Net Zero thinking and prioritise our own energy resilience. All of this has shown up our luxury belief that we in Britain are better off keeping our own oil and gas in the ground while making ourselves more reliant on Qatari LNG imports. First, let’s get the worst of the climate change lobby’s arguments out of the way. Destroying our own oil and gas production does not mean we will need any less oil and gas. Even the captured Climate Change Committee acknowledges that we’ll need oil and gas for decades to come. If we are going to need it, then of course we should get as much as possible from Britain. That is just common sense. Instead of maximising our own production, we’ve been sleepwalking into disaster and allowed the powerful green lobby to demonise an industry that is vital for our national resilience. Yesterday, Rachel Reeves missed an opportunity at the Spring Statement to reverse the damage that has been wrought on the North Sea. The Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, is a dangerous fantasist who has been hellbent on sacrificing our oil and gas production on the altar of Net Zero. He’d banned new oil and gas licences and charging effective marginal tax rates of over 100% on some companies. And for what? So we can increase our imports of higher-emission LNG from the other side of the world by 40% while British production is in freefall. The green lobby argue that there is no point drilling more in the North Sea, because ‘all of our gas is sold on international markets’. This is nonsense. Every single molecule of gas we extract from the North Sea goes into our pipes, making up half of our supply. We are losing 1,000 jobs a month, squandering £50 billion of investment and becoming less secure. Not a single exploration well was drilled in British waters last year – for the first time since 1964. Labour trumpet that the basin is just in natural decline. But Norway, which shares the exact same basin, tells a different story – last year they drilled 49 exploration wells and made 21 new discoveries. Admittedly, my own party have not been perfect. Policies like the windfall tax or mandating the electrification of oil rigs have not helped. When I was Energy Secretary, I signed off Rosebank, legislated to protect oil and gas licences and fought against windfall taxes – all in the face of great opposition. The Conservatives are clear that the oil and gas industry is a national asset and we must do all we can to maximise economic recovery of our own resources. So what should Rachel Reeves have done yesterday? First, end the ban on new licences, end the windfall tax, and scrap the Net Zero duties which are hammering our oil and gas sector. Fast-track permissions for Rosebank and Jackdaw. Downstream, our heavy industry and refineries are in crisis. We lost a third of our refineries last year alone. We have to stop imposing crippling, escalating Carbon Taxes that are killing British industry. We need to double down on nuclear which has the most secure energy supply chain, streamline regulations and reverse Labour’s decision to cancel my plan for another large nuclear plant at Wylfa. We must be clear-eyed about the fact that Ed Miliband is making us dangerously exposed to China’s dominance of critical mineral and renewable supply chains. We need to repeal the Climate Change Act that forces us to subordinate the priorities of energy security and affordability to decarbonisation. And if we want lower reliance on oil and gas, growth, and better living standards, then we must make electricity cheap. Our Cheap Power Plan to cut electricity bills by 20% for households and businesses would be a start. As the world gets more dangerous, we need to prioritise our energy and industrial resilience.
