Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.
He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future"
We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense.
Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

This multi millionaire public school boy lives in Thailand & holds an official UK non-resident status, meaning he pays zero income tax in the UK. He thinks we should forgo our human rights & democracy and be ruled by rich people. The sociopathy of wealth red in tooth & claw.

If only Robinson had been quite so fearless in his interviewing in the run up to the EU Referendum.

I don't want to live in a world where tax dodging millionaires can't avoid paying their fair share towards public services.

It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: The Trump administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim. We are helping our actual enemies as they prey upon us and our friends. This policy reversal from both the Biden administration and the first Trump administration is a shameful abandonment of principle and of self-interest.

🔴Britain has a patriotism problem. And it involves the very rich:
By @SangitaMyska
Ex-Prince Andrew passed confidential trade documents to Epstein.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe offshores his wealth to avoid paying billions in tax.
Peter Mandelson is investigated for passing market sensitive information to Epstein.
Remember, while the powerful get us fighting each other we forget to focus on them.

Remember when Keir Starmer was thrown out of a pub and the usual suspects celebrated the landlord’s right to refuse service?
Now some of those same voices are furious about people being turned away from pubs over their political associations.
So, do landlords have the right to refuse entry, or does that right only apply when it’s someone you disagree with?

Left: Danny Kruger calls for more oil and gas
Right: Six years ago Danny Kruger supported net zero saying,
"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face, and I can assure you that I recognise the importance and urgency of action on this issue."
"Indeed, the threat of global warming has never been more apparent, as highlighted by the sobering conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s special report on global warming of 1.5C."
My view:
A striking change in emphasis: Danny Kruger once spoke of climate action as urgent. Now he’s calling for more oil and gas exploration.
His own words show how much his position has shifted.

Kemi Badenoch claims £39 400 per year for her personal expenses.
Suella Braverman £45,000 for water bills alone.
Esther McVey, where do we start.
It's MPs expenses that need to be curtailed. It's absolutely obscene what some of them are claiming.

Oh dear - seems that the Telegraph are fairly instantly calling out Farage's latest VICTIMHOOD
Now that didn't take long

*Public service announcement*
The Tories ruined the economy with an appalling Brexit deal, raised taxes to record levels, left public services broken and unprecedented levels of debt.
It took 14 years to do that. Recovering from that clusterfuck will take at least as long.
ENDS.

So @Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk lied about the reason for Nigel not turning up to the budget?
And he’s lied again with another excuse!?!
Jan Harrison #FBPE #RejoinEU #FBPPR retweeted
you notice whenever farage tells a story never any evidence
multiple mps have already said this is nonsense

Governments reverse policies all the time.
Taxes change. Trade agreements change. Immigration policies change. International alliances evolve.
Yet some politicians insist Brexit must be permanent.
Since when did democracy mean one generation gets to decide for all the others?

Lowe is a millionaire, born into a life of immense privilege. Instead of being grateful that he's never had to choose between heating and eating he's furious that the government is helping people who do, by taxing people like him. Incredibly, he also thinks you should vote for him.

An endless succession of MPs on the news, from all the main parties and Reform, saying the welfare bill must be brought down and "people on sick benefits must be got into work."
They are NEVER challenged on the fact there are already 1.7m people chasing under 700k vacancies.

You really don't have a single other topic of conversation.
What a bore you must be at parties. 🥱

Badenoch says re Brexit "the UK doesn't want to re-run it, and the vote to leave the EU should be respected".
So out of touch with the people in the UK. #PMQs
