My Retro Castle

Ed, this is nonsense and you know it. Under your policies, Britain now has some of the highest energy prices in the world — higher than the US, higher than Norway, higher than Canada, and higher than every major fossil-fuel-producing nation. Families aren’t paying high bills because of “fossil fuels”, they’re paying high bills because of your net-zero dogma, endless subsidies, grid charges and the windfall tax that throttled our domestic production. FACTS: •Since your Energy Profits Levy came in, North Sea investment has collapsed and companies like Harbour, BP and EnQuest have cut thousands of UK jobs. •The UK is now importing record levels of LNG at 3–4× the cost of domestic production. •We spent £10.4 billion last year importing foreign gas while you cheerlead shutting down our own fields. •Your windfall tax has wiped out investment, forced rigs to shut early and even scared off new development like Cambo and Rosebank. •Offshore workers and chemical plants in Scotland are being hammered because of policies you personally championed. What kind of “energy security” is it when Britain cuts its own oil and gas but sends billions to Qatar, Norway and the US for the same product at a higher price? If you actually cared about bills, you’d: ✔️ Scrap the windfall tax ✔️ Back new domestic fields linked to a real transition ✔️ Prioritise Scottish gas for UK consumers at a lower cost ✔️ Stop forcing households to subsidise renewables while your friends pocket guaranteed profits Instead, you’re making us poorer, destroying Scotland’s oil, gas and chemical industries, and pushing an ideological experiment that has failed everywhere it’s been tried. The truth? Your policies are the reason families can’t afford to heat their homes. Not Russia. Not global markets. You. The cost of Miliband crisis
